"I KnowHowToWinWars!" Says McCain Who Bombed Cities in a Lost War OpEdNews, 7/16/2008
Huh? Which war did McCain know how to win? His 23 bombing runs over North Vietnam did not win anything but shame and disgust at home in streets filled with war protests. America LOST THE WAR. Surely CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX anchors and CNN celebrities Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper REMEMBER that America LOST THE VIETNAM WAR, though their paid to forget it. In reality McCain is to pitied.
And still later in 2008:
Media Suppression of MLKjr's Condemnation of Vietnam War as an Atrocity Helps McCain OpEdNews, 10/21/2008
Martin Luther King's blistering condemnation of the Vietnam War as a crime against humanity, which made bold type headlines on the front pages of newspapers all over the world BEFORE McCain's 1st bombing mission, has been intentionally suppressed in commercial media and school books. If voters knew King's sermon on the true history of the heroic Vietnamese fighting invasions of three powerful nations, the Japanese, US backed France and finally the great USA, McCain's 'hero status' would evaporate
It
serves McCain's presidential campaign well that all mention of Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s blistering condemnation of the war on Vietnam
as a crime against humanity has been intentionally suppressed in media
and school books.
War mongering conglomerate-owned media are always very busy
deceiving the public on present wars and future possible wars,
presenting them, and all past wars, as necessary and just. The New York
Times, The Washington Post and most major media slammed King as
unpatriotic after his truthful 1967 Riverside Church speech denouncing
his country's government as "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world."[1]
For years now, 'big brother' media has re-painted that Vietnam
War as good, and as having been a heroic adventure for all politicians
who took part in it as military personnel. Whew, talk about brain
washing!
But before voters accept Senator McCain's credentials as having served
his country well, they might better look at some of what Rev. King Jr.
said forty-one years ago in his Beyond Vietnam speech, as, within it, King gave clear historical context of US crimes:
"They move sadly and apathetically as we herd into concentration camps. They know they must move on or be destroyed by our bombs. So they go, primarily women and children and the aged. They watch as we poison their water, as we kill a million acres of their crops, destroy the precious trees.
We test out our latest weapons on them. So far we may have killed a million of them, mostly children. They wander into the towns and see thousands of the children, homeless, without clothes, running in packs on the streets like animals. They see the children degraded by our soldiers as they beg for food. They see the children selling their sisters to our soldiers, soliciting for their mothers. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men." [1]
