Censorship of war casualties in the US

~

"Pictures [of dead or dying American troops] have rarely been seen in recent years from Iraq and Afghanistan," acknowledged The New York Times in September 2009. "This was not the case during the Vietnam War."

Why is it so easy for political leaders in the US to convince ordinary citizens to support war?

How is it that, after that initial enthusiasm has given away to fatigue and disgust, the reaction is mere disinterest rather than righteous rage?

Even when the reasons given for taking the US to war were proven to have been not only wrong, but brazenly fraudulent - as in Iraq, which hadn't possessed chemical weapons since 1991 - no one is called to account.

Barack Obama's prospects for reelection are much worse than his handlers think.

There's a big opening for the GOP to retake the White House in 2012 and implement the final phase of their nightmarish vision for America.

U.S. Military Spending Has Almost Doubled Since 2001

~

How do the oil companies pay Americans for fighting their oil wars in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan? They pay no taxes. They pollute our oceans. They raise gasoline prices.

A new report released today by SIPRI, a Swedish-based think tank, reveals that U.S. military spending has almost doubled since 2001. The U.S. spent an astounding $698 billion on the military last year, an 81% increase over the last decade.

U.S. spending on the military last year far exceeded any other country. We spent six times more than China — the second largest spender. Overall, the world expended $1.6 trillion on the military, with the United States accounting for the lion’s share.

It also aims to create a public health insurance option, end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and invest $1.45 trillion in "job creation," energy, housing and education programs.
