Awful yes, a lie no, you have some due diligence to do. War is just business in america and there's always room for more, it's good for the economy. Your power structure just came right out and told you so. Here's a partial list of who we've partnered with recently:
Saddam
Osama
al Qaida
al Nusra
ISIS
Neonazis in Ukraine
The genodical Israelis in their endeavor to cleanse Palestine
The genocidal radical Wahabist Islamist beheading/dismembering Saudis in their slaughter in Yemen
as we fled the UN Council on Human Rights. We also have a dominatrix torturess heading up the CIA who already disappeared evidence of US torture.
It is indeed awful, but it seems to bring the "left" and the "right" together doesn't it.
Fweedumb.
