War at Toss of Coin: 'US abuses power it no longer has'

The decade that followed the 9/11 attacks was marked by wars fought under the flag of ridding the world of terrorists. Lawrence Wilkerson, ex-chief of staff to US Secretary of State Colin Powell, told RT that America thinks it holds an unchallengeable place in the world, and abuses the power it no longer has.

If you live by the sword you die by the sword. So I agree with this man. I do worry for my kids an grandson. I just hope the youth of today stands up an make a change but no matter how you look at it, its gona get bad before it gets better.

You gotta love Larry Wilkerson because he was there and he suffers no liars and bullshitters. He says he is doing this out of love for his country and I would have to agree.

Larry speaks out bluntly now when we really needed him in 2002 and 2003.

@sunRsaturn - Ben Shalom Bernanke and his zionist buddies useing dolar and us military power to protect state of Israel. They print fake money, but buy real goods (whole countries), corupt politicians (for example Mubarak) etc so they ar ehelping Israel 24/7. I expect to to give back Palestinians land to them.

[sunRsaturn]

@OrkaNSZ Well, Ben Shalom Bernanke and the rest aren't helping any Jews with it. Probably expecting us all to live in tents on a street named after them. Or the door ways of buildings in the honor.
