* Obama also maintains that Syria ’ s chemical weapons arsenal poses a threat to United States security … THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE ! Syria is engaged in an internal civil war , and has given no hints & shown no tendencies whatsoever to evidence that it wishes to attack the United States in any way — either directly or covertly . In essence , neither the everyday American citizen ’ s overall safety , nor their general livelihood , nor their practical freedoms are being threatened by the Syrian government at all … period .
Now , it IS true that the financial lusts & potential power-grabs of American politicians and American corporations are being threatened by Syria ’ s regional independence , and yet these desires are NOT valid justifications for putting American troops in harm ’ s way — and they are certainly NOT valid justifications for destroying the lives of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians -- most of whom simply want to get on with living their lives .
So , to the American corporations sponsoring the administration ’ s current war machine , I ask : Don ’ t you have enough already ? Does your greed really know no bounds ? How many wars will you have to engineer — how many cities will you have to destroy , how many families will you have to rip apart , how many children will you have to murder — before you will have enough to satisfy your lust and cease this Machiavellian madness ? Well I say you already have more than enough … … and I say the time to stop the killing is NOW .
And to Mr . Obama , I ask : Have you so soon forgotten the brave , moral man you once were ? Have you truly strayed so far from the noble promises and glowing goals you recited to us so eloquently during your initial inauguration ?
Well I say you still have time to wake up … I say you can still remember … I say that it is time for you to obtain your power from the American people , by honorably serving them …
… not from defense contractors , by selling your Soul .
