Troops
On TV: Is Fox News Working For Israel Against America?
8 November 2009
By Gordon Duff
Fox News is
using retired military officers surrounded by
uniformed active duty troops in an attempt to derail
debate on disengagement in Afghanistan. After 8 years,
the US is heading the same way Russia did, the more
troops we send, the more die. Absolutely nothing has
been accomplished in 8 years in Afghanistan other than
to start a major war in Pakistan too. I understand Fox
News. They are controlled by the powerful Israeli
spokesman, Rupert Murdoch. Israel wants this war to go
on forever. Though Murdoch now is an American citizen,
it doesn't seem to have "taken."
What is good for Israel isn't always good for the US.
Active duty military who try to make their own foreign
policy are not just total morons but are in violation
of a number of laws. They are technically at war with
the United States of America. If it is necessary for
veterans to take up weapons to fight against members
of our military who are part of an insurrection run by
a foreign power, tell me where to sign up.
To the former officers, always quick to take a payoff
from a defense contractor or the BushFox Israel
Pentagon as a "pundit," reading from whatever script
Karl Rove has written for the day, you dishonor
yourselves, your oath and the United States. The oath
I remember was:
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will
support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that
I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and
that I will obey the orders of the President of the
United States and the orders of the officers appointed
over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code
of Military Justice. So help me God.
To many officers, the oath was to a political party,
defense contractor or the last person to buy lunch.
America had enough of your military leadership. Why do
you think we are losing the war in the first place?
YOU! Total lack of ability, leadership and talent is
why we are losing the war. Officers sold their honor
for photo opportunities with Rumsfeld, Cheney and
Bush, followed "party line" and led us into hopeless
war while lying to our government and the people.
When it was time to stand up to the government, you
were silent, a pack of "perfumed Pentagon Princes,"
putting career over honor. Now we see folks who failed
and retired asking for more troops. Who dragged you
off the golf course? Where did the call come from? We
want to know? Who are your new masters? Do you even
know, yourselves? Even a whore knows who is buying the
drinks.
I will be displeased with President Obama until he
makes sure Secretary Gates hunts every one of you
down, retirees need to be investigated for disloyalty
to our troops and those on active duty need to be
flushed out and replaced with war fighters, not
country club clowns.
It is one thing allowing the military to make
decisions in a democracy. We call that dictatorship.
It is quite something else when a news network, one
whose loyalty is primarily to an ally, Israel, who is,
on occasion, not our best friend. Decision making in
Israel over the past couple of years has not always
been perfect. This may be the understatement of all
time.
I have some experience at war, having fought in
Vietnam. Without the thousands of foreign workers and
mercenaries we now use, actual combat troops holding
the I Corps, the most active area during the war, were
few in number, at times less than 10,000. We were
outnumbered and suffered casualty rates many many
times that of the current conflict.
Never once did we run to the TV stations and demand
reinforcements. We didn't even have hot food. We
remembered the troops landing on D Day or Marines on
Iwo Jima. We would have felt ashamed. The troops on D
Day thought about Americans fighting at Belleau Wood.
Can we add to the list, San Juan Hill, Gettysburg,
Valley Forge? It's about honor. It's a "warrior"
thing.
Now we have troops on TV. Today it is reinforcements
and control of the American government. What will it
be tomorrow? Collective bargaining? Mutiny?
Why don't we do this. Lets figure out why you are
there. Were you sent to Afghanistan to fight 2 dozen
terrorists 8 years ago, terrorists who may have died
of old age by now? This is not the same war, not a war
we signed up for and not one we may be willing to see
our kids die in.
We are no longer going to be driven from war to war by
newspaper stories or be manipulated by terrorists. The
enemies of the United States are smiling. When they
see you, troops pushing for a wider war, pushing to
end intelligent debate, troops defying their
democratic government, they know they are winning. You
are telling them so.
There is no more proof America is being destroyed than
your words.
