The rightward-tilting Supreme Court is transforming the traditional Miranda RIGHT into the NeoConned Miranda LITE!
Typical U.S. "maybe culpa" that defends the terror tactic first, and then half-heartedly blames the massive killings by USA air pirates on some mix-ups in bureaucratic procedures. In other words, no real apology and absolutely no intention to change its terror tactics. It's like a bank robber who blames his killing of bystanders on defective ammo that he bought from Chinese suppliers at WalMart!
Obama is truly doing an A+ job in repackaging the now-discredited Cheney/Bush-concocted "Operation Enduring Fiefdom" in Afghanistan. POTUS 44 talks about respecting Muslims and about his desire to close Guantanamo, but then he escalates the USA occupation troops and drone attacks; meanwhile, he revives the "reformed" Military Commission trials and defends most of the core Bush policies on detaining "illegal combatants." Wall Street could not have picked a better mouthpiece than the ambitious Afro-American politician with the gift of gab. But ultimately, a successful used war salesman cannot save the Empire from its inevitable Imperial defeat and demise in central Asia's infamous "Graveyard of Empires."
Obama shows his pro-Israel--or is it his gratitude to AIPAC donations to his campaign?-- bias yesterday by praising that Likud extremist. The USA empire is too indebted to the pro-Israel lobby that both Democrats as well as the GOP will defend Israel's right for first strikes with $ Billions more of made-in-USA WMDs supplied to the Zionists military.
To paraphrase the famed Chinese strategist Sun Tzu, Out of 36 strategems(regarding a hopeless quagmire), Cutting and Running is the best course of action!
On the other hand, Obama and his band of "Surge-on Generals" have the rare foresight and Bush-like Iron Will of committing $100 Billion a year(times whatever number of years it takes "to succeed")to the Cheney-concocted "Operation Enduring Fiefdom"!
