[Vision2020] [CORRECTED] Disloyal Americans spread propaganda

[Tony]

Folks, when reading all these lengthy reports from the left detailing how corrupt your country is, it would be helpful to note the sources these America haters rely on.  Our beloved Tom relies on anonymous "unofficial" reports.  The good professor Gier relies on enemy propaganda.  In my opinion, before one dismisses his own government's version of events, he ought to at least give it a fair hearing rather than view any official utterance as automatically suspect.  These leftists have not believed in their country since 1968.  They view anything America does as "imperialistic aggression."  They feel that as such aggressors, we deserved what happened on 911.  They, whether they are conscious of it or not, share the goals of our enemies.  They are what are frequently referred to as the enemy from within, and their tales of America's failings should be taken with the appropriate shaker of salt.

A merry Christmas to lurkers everywhere.   -Tony

  From:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_bomb

   

  In Vietnam, people are still being killed as a result of cluster bombs and other objects left by the US military. Estimates range up to 300 per year.

              

  In post-war Kosovo unexploded cluster bomblets caused more civilian deaths than landmines.

              

  In Lebanon as many as 70% of the bomblets dropped may not have detonated. 16 have been killed and 100 civilians were injured by unexploded bomblets since the August 14, 2006 ceasefire in the 2006 Israeli-Lebanon conflict. Unofficial reports indicate that the US State Department is inquiring into whether Israeli use of US-made cluster bombs during the conflict conformed with the terms of agreements between them as to the conditions of the munition's use. It is confirmed that Hezbollah also used clusters. Israel has expressed readiness to cooperate. In August 2006, the UN's Mine Action Coordination Center in Tyre, Lebanon, raised an alarm over the post-conflict impact on returning civilians of unexploded cluster bombs used by Israel in village areas. Israel immediately after the cease-fire gave UNIFIL maps indicating the likely locations of unexploded ordnance, to aid the international attempt to clear these areas and avoid injury to the population. Furthermore, immediately after the cease-fire the it distributed warning notices to the residents in the areas of warfare, and recommended that they wait a few days before returning to the south until the UNIFIL forces were deployed there and the area had been cleared of unexploded ordnance.
