What about Liberia?

What about Liberia?

I must say, I am deeply surprised that Liberia hasn't been mentioned on this newswire or even in rallies that I have been to. Whatever the reasons for US involvement in Liberia, it certainly has nothing to do with "Peacekeeping." The US applies the label "Peacekeeping" to justify its heinous slaughter of millions of innocent people who want to live a normal life with no control from Americans or American bought politicians. Here's an article that may be of some interest to you:

He's too busy defending his "honor" in other posts. And cleaning his glasses.

Of course we are not in Liberia for purely peacekeeping. We are there to clean up another mess created by the French and our other European "allies". Liberia is a lost cause, like most of the rest of the continent. The African continent is trapped in its own tribal/religious in-fighting and corruption. It has vast resources, but these can not be exploited for the benefit of the populace when the governments there are more interested in stealing from the people and with wars like that in Rwanda see the senseless massacre of 3,000,000 people (including women and children) just because they happen to be of a different religion or subculture than their murderers. But guess what ... THAT AIN'T AMERICA'S FAULT (besides, Bill Clinton did nothing about those conflicts and just let them run there natural course).

Although it is not even half as assanine as your usual leftist carping and BS, ME, is that assanine enough for you :)

We Have No Troops In Liberia

Despite Jesse Jackson's demand for American blood to referee the latest tribal massacre cum junta musical shrunken head/chairs fiasco in the Homeland of Us All, Bush cleverly landed the USMC for a day then sent them back to their assault carrier to sleep out of range of the khat chewing 14 year old AK-47 wielding skinnies.
Oh the humanity (sorta).

I never said that the french and european governments are any better. They have their selfish agendas as well. Does that still make me a "leftist"?

He would defend Charles Taylor, like I did.
