War! We have to go to war!

Be afraid, give up your freedom, and remember how awesome war is. Because ISIS is very scary.


Corporate Media: War "Wicked Awesome" & ISIS "Very Scary"

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, the corporate media in the United States urged Americans "to remember how wicked awesome and fun" going to war was when President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 with absolutely no plan for what to do afterward. For those unconvinced, spurious corporate journalists like everyone on Fox News and CNN's Wolf Blitzer spent the day fearmonging, and interviewed a slew of pro-war guests to convince Americans the Islamic State (ISIS) was so scary the United States must immediately send ground troops back to the Middle East.

Not to be outdone, CNN's Wolf Blitzer declared, "Everyone needs to remember how wicked awesome and fun war is. I got to hold a gas mask in 2003 while covering the invasion of Iraq from Kuwait. We totally need ground forces back in the Middle East."
