This foppish Australian ange who leaked all the top secret Afghan War files - hero or villain?
If you’re anything like me, you prolly think that war is not our greatest invention, am I right? This business in Afghanistan and Iraq is pretty galling considering our experience of the Vietnam War. The more I hear about these leaked doents the more I ask myself why they were clified in the first place. This attitude that all the things the government screws up are top secret is exactly what killed 50,000 men in Vietnam. Our government is deciding (once again) that we shouldn’t know things like the commonly known fact that Pakistan Gov’t officials steal all the foreign aid that we send them and then they gleefully collaborate with the Taliban and Al Qaeda as soon as we leave the room. Why shouldn’t we know that? Or that Karzai’s Afghani gov’t is contemptibly corrupt? It’s a failed narco state with no popular support and, in fact, no support at all other than our tax dollars. Wait, I guess I can see why our government wouldn’t want us to know what a great job we’re doing spending billions of dollars every month while our economy goes down the toilet and unemployment remains so high that we have to resort to creating false jobs with the Census Bureau. And don’t even get me started on Iraq. Hey, I have a great idea! Why don’t we elect Charlie Rangel president? (If you have to ask who Charlie Rangel is then just go stuff your head in a toilet and keep flushing until you see the ocean.) Or we could bring back G.W. Bush to finish off the job of flushing the USA down the toilet. No, I’m not bitter… not much.
