Former U.S. ambassador Chas Freeman, hit the nail on the head when recently describing America’s failed strategy in the Middle East: “If at first we don’t succeed, we do the same thing again harder, with better technology, and at greater expense. The patch provides a cogent – if uncouth – summary of the results of this approach so far this century.”
Freeman’s remark was my inspiration in responding to questions in this episode of Crosstalk.

The ENTIRE worlds problems stem from this basic fact. The belief that one interpretation of “god” is superior to another.
Meanwhile, the universe doesn’t give a flying fuck about our pathetic petty human squabbles. The human race could disappear tomorrow and what would happen? “God’ would sigh in relief while rolling his eyes..that’s what.

“Failed” strategy is a lie Peter. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe it anymore.

3Failed policy? Follow the money. US policy is very successful lining the pockets of the military industrial complex and the state bureaucratic apparatus. All is well in Washington.

4It’s a Mafia in every sense; it’s just a big protection racket:
DiFi on David the P-brain:
“This man has suffered enough,” Ms. Feinstein said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “People aren’t perfect. He made a mistake. He lost his job as CIA director because of it. I mean, how much do you want to punish somebody? It’s done. It’s over. He’s retired. He’s lost his job. How much does government want?”
This man knows where the bodies are buried.
