Obama's Generals

Much trouble was created for the Dutch government when the Prime Minister failed to make good on his campaign promise to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan. The German President resigned after confessing that his government's participation in the Afghan War had nothing to do with safety and terrorism, but rather it was in the interests of big business. All of this was topped off within the past few weeks with the resignation of American General Stanley McChrystal.

The writer of the Rolling Stone article that caused the General so much trouble said, "[McChrystal] was marred by a scandal of abuse and torture of prisoners at Camp Nama in Iraq. [...] He was extremely successful as head of Joint Special Operations Command, the elite forces that run the darkest government operations."

"We killed a staggering number of people, but as far as I know, none of them came to prove a threat," said General McChrystal earlier this year.

General Petraeus, the replacement commander of NATO forces appointed by Barack Obama, is the author of a secret directive that authorizes the use of American Special Operations troops for deployment in other countries, regardless of how friendly or hostile they are to the USA. This may pave the way for military strikes against Iran. Petraeus is in favor of taking the war in the Middle East beyond Afghanistan and Iraq.

The fact that Barack Obama is working with Generals who employ such criminal tactics shows exactly what kind of "hope and change" he is bringing the world. Hope his henchmen don't kill you next because he is only Changing his butcher apron.
