OOOH… Just by a Bizarre co-inky-dink, Helmand province is the one closest to Iran. Not ONE major city in the whole place. Not a Rich Area.
The Army also put out a report of a U.S. soldier being killed by an Improvised Explosive Device. His job?
MURDERING PEOPLE WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICES.
He was a mortar gunner. The IED that killed him was more than likely made from either an American or Soviet Mortar.
The unexploded ordnance is a high-value salvage item.
It also kills farmers in their fields, especially the kids because they don’t know better, yet.
There’s also the mines set by the Soviets and even some ancient hardware set by the British available. Also which target KIDS more than anybody else.
The land mines that the U.S. refuses to sign on to a comprehensive and enforceable Ban thereof. Because killing KIDS is less expensive.
The U.S., under the direction of Reagan, Bush the Elder and Bush the Incredibly Obtuse, also kept refusing to ratify in Security council, actually using their Arbitrary Veto Power to keep it from being ratified, not only the Land Mines treaty but also the ban on Child Soldiers.
One of the U.S. ambassadors to the U.N., Shirley “Curly Shirley” Temple Black, former Child Star, explained that having a ban on Children as soldiers would mean the Army wouldn’t be able to recruit in High Schools (They’ve also been putting their recruiters on Middle School and Elementary School campus, and at every Child oriented public event that catches their nasty attention) that JROTC, Young Marines, and even Scouting would be banned because, in the words of the Former Child Star, they’re Paramilitary Groups.
All this “one-off” TARGETING of American kids is just a sick reflection of the targeting of children in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now, if the War Pigs have their way, Iran.
Sure, they’ll get some grown ups too, and some of them will be armed.
Armed with weapons provided by United States weapons corporations, who are by another Bizarre Co-inky-dink the major beneficiaries of the Generosity of the Pentagoons.
Don’t make me break out the pictures of kids with their legs arms and faces blown off by American firepower.
JULY 18– Syrian rebels led by CIA and US special forces were able to assassinate three senior officials of President Bashar Assad’s regime, targeted by NATO and the UN for Obama’s TM Change, which we now can believe means “Regime Change”. But news headlines today also tell of 24 NATO fuel tankers set alight in Afghanistan, by a Taliban insurgency of undetermined US backing, of course US contractors now get to sell NATO replacement tankers, AND elsewhere in occupation news, US auditors report $8 billion squandered in Iraq, although total spent, minus reconstruction achieved, probably yields far more billions than that. Meaning more growth opportunity for the US war industry, at Cost Plus. Unless cost squandered means plus should be refunded.
Poor Kofi, it is not easy being the head of the ‘United Nations’ brigade of the US military. Here he is, trooping off to Moscow pleading with Putin to allow the Pentagon to continue to try to smash up the Assad government in Syria.
