Viet Vets in Charge: Kerry for War on Syria, Hagel Against...

Unbelievable. According to antiwar.com, ex-Vietnam Vet John Kerry, who threw away his medals, wants US troops to fight and die (both Assad's government troops and inevitably all those Al-Queda rebels running and bombing about).  Viet Vet Chuck Hagel says, woa, not too fast now.  Would be interesting and said if it was a couple old homeless vets debating under and underpass.

But SCARY because it's the Secretary of State for war and the Secretary of Defense against it.  (Would it be worse the other way around?)

There go a few thousand more American lives, a couple trillion more dollars - and probably another 20-30,000 dead Arab/Muslims - down the drain. And more blow back like the absurd and disgusting bombing of the Boston Marathon. And the civil liberties implications as Republicans try to figure out the best and quickest way to deprive an American citizen of his rights to due process so they can prepare the way of the next American dictator to kill American dissidents on sight.

Oh, and did I just notice that the US is giving Israel refueling planes so they can bomb the hell out of Iran and get home to dinner safely and on time?  Another 10 trillion dollars, and 10,000 American and 1 million Iran lives down the drain.

No wonder I drown myself in WikiHoHas and springtime yard work in order to avoid confronting the madness.  Dang, what did I say last week about getting my head out of the sand and making the revolution? Maybe I need to make a bunch of signs saying that and tape them all over the house and the lawn mower and the grass seed bag and the hedge trimmers.

Blowback...all over again...

As American waits breathlessly to see WHO the arrested and suspected bomber of the Boston Marathon may be.  To find out WHICH group they can hate and punish for the crimes of one or a few individuals. (Unless its some "troubled" law enforcement agent or agent of a friendly government power in which case the story will quickly wither and die). 

Thoughts come to one about "blowback":
*Did a pissed off "patriot" and gun owner do it? It was the official Patriots Day in Boston, celebrating April 19, 1776 first battles for Independence from the British Imperial Oppressors.  It's also the 20th anniversary of the day FBI tanks started at least one fire that killed 76 Davidians in Waco, Texas as the end of a 51 day siege after ATF's violent and botched serving of a warrant for illegal guns.
*Did a pissed off national of some country the United States has bombed or has threatened to bomb the hell out of do it?
*Did a pissed off Muslim from some other country pissed off at US Imperial Oppression and what they see as the US war on Islam who has become a radical jihadist do it?
*Did a pissed off individual of whatever country pissed off at US Imperial Oppression who got manipulated by the FBI into planting the bombs - and got away from his handlers - do it?
*Did an agent of a foreign government trying to get benefits from the United States government do it? (Think especially North Korea and Israel.)
Well, if I think of any more, I'll add them.  Uploading fast.  More analysis by me to follow - and probably lots of conspiracy theories by others on the World Wacky Internets.

Update 4/20/13: I was right, of course. According to Washington Post (which sometimes gets it right): "Michael Newcity, a Duke University Slavic and Eastern European studies professor...[said that] the Chechen heritage of suspects Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev may matter mostly because of their religion and not their birthplace... a more likely motivation was generalized anger over U.S. actions and attitudes towards Islam."  

Not to mention the older brother had been questioned (probably disrespectfully) by the FBI branch of the surveillance state in 2009, couldn't find a job for last year or so because of statist destruction of the economy and was at some point a "house husband", and - of course - he was just a macho guy who had to prove his manhood (by initiating force for his religion, when boxing just didn't do it for him any more). And his dumb little brother went along with it and will spend the rest of his life in prison for a dastardly act that does no one any good except politicians and government contractors out to increase their power and politics.  Don't you get it guys? Doing violence is doing the job of the government. Cut it out!
Not to mention, it still may turn out they were encouraged by FBI undercover agents who will never be identified or found...Their MaMa sure thinks so.
