I firmly believe that if our nation’s citizenry had not been so successfully plied with bullshit from the MSM about our “defeat” in the “illegal Iraq war for oil” our people would be more resolute. And that resolution would have translated into a different calculus by Moscow and Tehran. Both consider us weak and lacking the political will to stand up to them. Our President, I believe, was fatally wounded by the refusal of his government to confront Russia with the truth about their removal/cleanup in Iraq prior to the invasion, and then to spill the beans to our public. The nation would have understood two things better:

1. That we did not lie about the WMD thing.

2. That Russia and other nations had been an integral part of the weapons’ programs and the coverup.

The State Department and the President, so we are told, did not want to risk alienating Russia by publicly embarrassing it. We thought that maybe Russia would help us with Iran.

So, now we are stuck, and we are in a bad place, because of a poor calculation. State and the White House (and also the CIA) misread Russia and Putin very badly. There were so many bad effects that resulted from this it would take a voluminous position paper to expose and explain it all.

We should now do our own HONEST information war against Russia and finally spill the beans as to how evil and doublecrossing they are. The government should apologize to the people for withholding the truth about Operation Sarindar. We should expose it all and ram it up the Russians arses as far up as it will go.
