Politicians never hesitate to hide behind “the children” when it comes to seeking cover, the little ones are right up there with old glory and the troops. This week while spinning the botched Somalia raid by the hallowed Seal Team Six, a military unit that is critical to the phony war on terror mythology the establishment quickly went to the well. After the most ass kicking military unit in the land was run out of Barawe with their tails between their legs under heavy fire it was sold as a strategic retreat so as to not harm “the children”. Funny that I don’t recall any such considerations for the safety of "the children" when it comes to drone strikes, cruise missile attacks, incendiary bombings or any of the other bravery of being out of range actions undertaken against the brown-skinned, non-Christians who are the targets of our imperialist policies. The Obama administration is certainly not shy about using “the children” for political purposes, this time it is to cover their asses for batting .667 over the weekend in black ops renditions but only weeks ago it was “the children” who laid dead at Ghouta, the victims of sarin gas and last year it was the Sandy Hook victims. Pretty damned shameless but dignity and grace have never been Barry’s strong points being the calculating political animal that he is.
Despite the triumphalism exhibited over the two successful renditions over the weekend, one being the kidnapping of the alleged perpetrator of embassy attacks back in the 20th century, after which Secretary of Skull and Bones Kerry crowed “they can run but they can’t hide” in a rather eerie reinvention of the unspoken “kill everything that moves” Vietnam dictum the administration now is in damage control mode. Kerry, the windsurfing elitist who married into the Heinz ketchup family fortune after parlaying his Vietnam era experience into a national political platform conjured up memories of the fascist Bush administration by warning critics of our now firmly entrenched policies of kidnappings, torture and extrajudicial killings that “I think it’s important for people in the world not to sympathize with alleged terrorists.” This of course speaks volumes about the rogue Obama regime’s ongoing war on journalists. Now if you are a dissenter from the imperial policies you will be marked in some manner, the NSA Stasi sees everything and is warehousing all of that surveillance data in a gigantic complex in Utah where one day in the near future it will be used to retroactively identify enemies of the state and as in all authoritarian states their associates and families. Hitler, Mao and Stalin would have drooled over such capabilities.
The failed Seal Team Six raid will now join the list of taboo subjects in The Homeland and will be washed clean of the stench of illegality and failure by reliable state shills like NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski among many others. It will then be flushed down the memory hole once and for all. I suspect that at this very moment that the Pentagon planners and the narcissist in chief are concocting another series of commando raids to dominate the news cycles and divert attention from their enormous list of policy failures that have destroyed the economy and dragged America from the moral high ground it had occupied for decades – and sadly it did not go kicking and screaming when it was driven down. The new raids will be free of “the children” other than those who end up as “collateral damage”, Seal Team Six will be lionized once more and Obama and Kerry can prance around on the world stage, their complete and utter hypocrisy evident to all but themselves and the majority of their exceptional people.
