Bernie and Hillary Come Out in Favor of Perpetual War in AfghanistanBy John Vibes Speaking in an ABC interview with host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning, Sanders defended the position that the U.S. military is needed to keep peace in the Middle East. Well, yeah, I wont give you the exact number. Clearly, we do not want to see the Taliban gain more power, and I think we need a certain nucleus of American troops present in Afghanistan to try to provide the training and support the Afghan army needs, he said in the interview. Sanders enchanted followers have defended his words, saying the military forces left in Afghanistan would be on humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, or that they are there to help rebuild the country. However, military occupation is never humanitarian, nor is it not peaceful. Further, when politicians speak of rebuilding countries, they are usually saying they want to occupy the territory long enough to establish a puppet dictator of their choosing. Hillary Clinton shared Sanders pro-war sentiment. As she said in an interview with the Boston Globe: I admire the fact that the president has very strong positions about trying to end wars and bring people home which is exactly the right place to be in but is not so doctrinaire, absolutist that no matter what the circumstances are that hes going to stick to his position. You have a position of responsibility and a real obligation to try to make the best decisions possible, and I know thats what he did on this one. In Obamas statement following the decision to continue the war, it was obvious the primary interest of the U.S. military is to establish a puppet dictatorship. As he asserted: I know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. As you are well aware, I do not support the idea of endless war, and I have repeatedly argued against marching into open-ended military conflicts that do not serve our core security interests. Yet given whats at stake in Afghanistan, and the opportunity for a stable and committed ally that can partner with us in preventing the emergence of future threats, and the fact that we have an international coalition, I am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort. Although Sanders broad promises appeal to many people who are frustrated with the system, his campaign is not much different from the Obama campaign that hypnotized millions in 2008. The hope and change that Obama promised was nothing but more of the same Bush-era policies of endless war, police state intrusions, surveillance, and oppression and increasing signs indicate Sanders will be no different.

The people who own the US government and all the candidates, want war. Therefore, whoever they have picked to live in the white house, will be installed in the white house and there will be war until the US is incapable of making war against humanity. I was intending to continue support for Sanders in the WH, but I cant as long as he intends to continue his support for the US criminally fraudulent for Wall Street profit wars of terror and aggression. Both St. Bernardo and Killary want to succeed Obama Bin Bush as Assassins in Chief with their support of the Drone Assassination Program and perpetual war for Israel. The Zionist banksters own these compromised politicians Get used to perpetual war on the Muslims. Its never going end.
