Deaf, Dumb, and Blind
US Treasury is Running on Fumes
by Paul Craig Roberts, July 30, 2010

*** begin quote ***

If Obama cared about the lives of our soldiers, he would not have sent them to a war, the purpose of which he cannot identify. Earlier in his regime, Obama admitted that he did not know what the mission was in Afghanistan. He vowed to find out what the mission was and to tell us, but he never did. After being read the riot act by the military/security complex, which recycles war profits into political campaign contributions, Obama simply declared the war to be “necessary.” No one has ever explained why the war is necessary.

The government cannot explain why the war is necessary, because it is not necessary to the American people. Any necessary reason for the war has to do with the enrichment of narrow private interests and with undeclared agendas. If the agendas were declared and the private interests being served identified, even the American sheeple might revolt.

Americans had a choice of a true anti-war President. Ron Paul told them so, but they went the shiny young candidate sold by the media. Guess they’ll have to learn the hard way.
