rich vs. poor and we're defending the rich? 9/11?

[2bRealist]

After seeing how easy the republicans can be bought off and to the extents they are willing to go to get there privet agendas done...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised 911 was an inside job.. and I'm just being honest, I wish I could say otherwise...

[HerroHerrar]

he know whats he talking about

[jzxonly]

The news anchor/reader is trying to IMPOSE his version in the mouth of mathew hoh..

They have their priorities after all

9/11 was done for this war n neo-imperialism !

9/11 inside job !! may god protect us.. Amin

[soundmoneyfan]

jeez, no one said he had to be your hero! I'm happy he is speaking truth to power as not just another talking head on a cable news network that hasn't worked for the defense department since Clinton was in office. It takes a lot of courage to do what he is doing. I want to see more insiders side with me and my moral objection to our wars. They dont have to share my morality to be important to the cause of ending the wars. I don't expect anyone in DC to do anything based on morals.

[Webins]

How can he be a hero for opposing something on pure practical grounds?

It means that if things were to improve, he switch and support the war.

Only morally-based opposition can be true and meaningful.

[soundmoneyfan]

i never said it had to do with morality and that is what makes him a hero in my eyes. he is speaking out to the public about the facts/strategic calculations which is a hero when you look in comparison to the rest of the federal gov't

[Webins]

Mr.Hoh is twisting things by making America inot some kind of innocent bystander caught in a civile war cross-fire.

[Webins]

I must disagree.

Mr.Hoh's opposition to the war has little to do with morality. It's just strategic calculations, is all.

[LLMood]

I like your motto " UNFAIR AND BIASED"

[AFGHANVIEW]

salute to this honest guy

respect

[CaIgaryFIamesFan]

I think only Muslims can destroy Al Q, not US. Therfore, US/Canada should never ever support corrupt regimes in those countries. never interfere. What they should do (because lets face it, US was attacked on 9/11 and public can't sit back) is support the progressives there! not the dictatorships, curruption, theocracies, martial laws etc..

Just today an anti-taliban mayor died! THOSE are the people US needs to protect.

But then again, govt. lies to us...theyre there for selfish, economic reasons
