@Finn dAbuzz,

Some measure of the truth from Finn, for once. But even in his "truthfulness" he seeks to deceive, in at least two ways;
We don't know, nor is there anything to suggest that this was written as any kind of smoke screen. The other, he missed an important defining word, which I've added below.
But this sort of neo-con blather is simply another smoke screen designed to put a smiley face on the congenital imperialistic cravings of
ONE of the greatest criminal nation[s] of all time - the USA!
One also has to wonder just how genuine are these pleas to save the North Koreans. No mention from either Mr Goldbrick or Finn of the US general in charge of war crimes in Korea"
Quote:Un-indicted war criminal and U.S. Air Force commander in Korea, General Curtis LeMay concurred with this observation, boasting that U.S. warplanes "killed off 20 percent of the population of Korea as direct casualties of war, or from starvation and exposure."
His is a common ploy; "the whole world will blame the US"; "oh sure, but what about [stick in the bad man/bad country du jour]"; .... .
The ploy is employed to distract from looking at what are clear examples of US imperialism and US war crimes to support those efforts.
I guess one could say, thank goodness for small mercies, but considering Finn's long time and myriad apologies for war crimes/war criminals/US terrorism, it's a small mercy indeed.
Why Finn, would you go this route, rather than address the huge volume of facts that describe exactly what you've spoofed here? Why would Mr Goldberg take the same path?
