The Anti-Benghazi Back to Iraq III: it's been too long I'm glad we're back

Cause We're Back, Yes We're Back
We're Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack
We're Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack
We're Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack, in Iraq
Yes, We're Back in Iraq 

The US launched some airstrikes at the end of the year which apparently killed 50 US trained erstwhile allied security forces. After the strikes, the US Embassy in Baghdad came under an "attack" and the protesters bypassed all the ineffectual defenses but, the attacks did not result in any lives lost. The Department of Defense officially claimed Iranian backed Shia-militias were responsible because leaders were spotted int he crowd. Less talked about by the DoD was Secretary of State Pompeo slashed funding for the security in a repeat of the embassy funding cuts done by Republicans in 2011.

Donald Trump began tweeting out "Anti-Bengahzi" because he is an illiterate buffoon who can't even spell let alone comprehend the forces Dickless Cheney and George W(worst POTUS Ever) unleashed during their Great Boondoggle along the Tigris and Euphrates. Iran became the preeminent power in the Middle East as a direct result of the Iraq War.

As the tensions escalate we face the near certainty of a renewed Iraq War. Or worse still a proxy War with Iran in Iraq which will eventually spill into direct war with Iran. Trump is blustering boob who, in fits of phony toughness, has publicly and repeatedly staked out the maximalist position of 100% retaliation at any provocation. Thus, Trump can not rely on diplomacy when faced with an escalating crisis and even if he wished to, his undermining of the State Department during his Ukrainian Crimes has closed that avenue for him. And there is no longer a so-called adult in the Oval Office to keep the childish Trump from lashing out in a fit of pique. Thus, he's left only with the military option.

But, as is always the case once Trump fucks something up the Magat Horde take it upon themselves to retcon his mistakes into glory whilst finding a way to Blame Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

In this case, the decision seems to be to blame John Kerry. Rightwing social media is circulating pictures of a White House visit in 2011 by the Nouri Al-Malki administration in which Hadi Al-Amiri takes part.

This alone is all the rightwing Wurlitzer needs to spin a million and one fables via a million and one tweets. The Joy of being a Conservative is having No Memory and acting as though incidents and people spring up ex nihilio. To conservatives on-line (and the bots that amplify them) until December 31st 2019 there never was a Hadi Al-Amiri. He isn't the Minister of Transportation. He wasn't part of the post Saddam post Coalition Provisional Authority Government. He never fought in the Iran-Iraq War, which was fomented by Ronnie Raygun, Donald Rumsfeld, and George Bush Senior. Nope. Instead Had Al-Amiri sprung up from Barack's tears of capitulation from the desert during Obama's Surrender World Tour.

Propaganda Never Sleeps.

Right now, the US has proclaimed at the direction of the "President", a targeted airstrike at Baghdad Airport has killed General Qasem Soleimani. Thus raising the question: under what authority was this attack authorized? The Ancient crumbling AUMF? Don't expect Republicans to break with Trump over this bombing they've given themselves completely to MAGA. And the jingoistic war-boners this is giving the Magat Horde on-line gives lie to the Donald the Dove narrative they careful curated for Media consumption.

So now... now we await the response from the Shia Arabs, Iranian directed militia forces, and Official Iraqi government. Will they ratchet up incidents to force Trump to respond with his phony bravado and send the troops surging back to Iraq? Or is the long awaited Invasion of Iran about to begin?

White Conservative Domestic Terrorists strike again, 3 dead and 19 wounded, Worse Than Benghazi.

The first thing to recognize about the Domestic Terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a brave young woman lost her life fighting Nazis on American soil.  And two LEOs died as a result of the actions of a cadre of conservative traitors and nazis; The TeaKKKi Party.

Next, demand a congressional inquiry into the events leading up to and during the gathering of violent anti-american white supremacists.  Why was a permit granted to them initially when the list of attendees included all manner of right-wing domestic terrorist groups before it was rescinded?  Why did the Police not monitor the broadcast on-line for additional right-wing fascists to descend?  Why were neighboring police departments not tasked with providing QREF in case of trouble?  Why was the State Police not notified and placed on high alert and checking for outside agitators coming in?

Now, it has been pointed out repeatedly on various social media platforms the Police response to rallies involving Africian-Americans or #blacklivesmatter are always greeted with overwhelming force and military grade equipment, while the police in several instances during the White Riot apparently did not intervene, even as women were beaten by conservative criminals.  I was not on the ground and do not know the micro-tactical situation but, the questions are why did the Police either show up without a proper response plan in place or without the proper assets?

White Conservative Domestic Terrorists have conducted numerous attacks on U.S. soil and have been emboldened by the tacit and overt support from Republicans in Congress, Statehouses, Faux News, and now the White House.  Conservatives have increasingly been radicalized into a Reactionary Paramilitary force with the approval of high-ranking Republicans and conservatives in the media.
What this amounts to is no less than a Coup d'etat and an attempt to turn the United States into a Right-Wing Fascist Plutocracy.

Never Forget using vehicles as weapons in the United States have been a tradition of right-wing domestic terrorists and far from being inspired by Islamic extremeists this latest attack was inspired by other Conservatives and Republican Lawmakers.

As protests against police brutuality escalated over the repeated unconstitutional execution of black men by Police Officers, Republican "Lawmakers "in various states attempted to pass legislation making it legal to run over people in the roadway.  Pause and reflect on that.  In multiple states, Republicans attempted to make it legal to run over and murder someone with your car for the act of getting in your way.

Conservative asshole and Law School professor Glenn Reynolds wrote last year, "Run them Down".  Reynolds one of the first big right-wing blogger types has always advocated for the murdering of Americans whose political affiliation he dislikes.

Conservative Domestic Terrorists are waiting, aching, yearning for Traitor Trump to give them the go ahead to begin slaughtering Americans.  Conservatives believe they have a Casus Belli (a cause or event to justify war) whenever, they sputter their "Whataboutisms" containing the names President Obama, Hillary Clinton, or George Soros.

Conservatives long ago declared war on America.  They hoped with the election of more and more Reactionary Republicans; from the Arch-Criminal Dick Nixon, to the alzheimer addled Ronnie Raygun, to W(orst POTUS Ever), to the ultimate distallation of conservative thought and emotion, the Alt-Reich Traitor Trump himself, would allow them to perversely install the unholy evil conservative agenda of intolerance, oppression, and worship of the rich into "Law".  But, Conservatives have been stymied by the #Resistance and a strong united Democratic Party.

Of course, it should be noted the goals of rank-and-file conseravtives are different than the Republican Party, which serves as the Guard Dogs of the Plutocracy but, the Republicans often throw more than enough red meat to their conservative drones to keep them satiated.  However, as it becomes more and more likely the conservative dream of a White Power Government will be thwarted conservative domestic terrorists will turn more and more to violent methods and means.

The NRA has already volunteered several times to be the Vanguard of an overthrow of the Untied States and the rounding up and murdering of liberals, feminists, minorities, immigrants and everyone else Traitor Trump and his 63 million Nazi followers deem enemies.

Exterminate the Brutes has been the unofficial motto of the GOP for decades now and multiple generations of conservatives have been raised on fascism but, conservatives haven't been this openly fascist since World War II.  However, conservatives know they have a staunch ally in the White House and his Executive staff is replete with fellow fascist travellers and white supremacists.  Traitor Trump can no more denounce the TeaKKKi Party than he can denounce himself; They are Him.

Right-Wing treason and conservative domestic terrorism is now the number one threat to the United States of America.
