Panama War was practice for Iraq?

[peacetalksforall]

In watching the documentary on link tv, the similarities are amazing.

Panama must have been practice for Iraq (in addition to weapons and drug dealing?)

> Cheney in his droll, super serious demeanor in front of the cameras giving a news conference most likely about saving the U.S. from Panama. He was also bald back then with a little bit of dark hairs.

> George, Sr excitedly banging his fists and yelling on camera - angry at (whatever).

> Night photography of the invasion – by air with bombs – blowing up people as is their way.

> Noriega replaces Trujillo who most believed was taken out in a airplane accident? What else – the buildings weren’t high enough for a suicide jump?

> Noriega doesn’t do everything they want – they plan an ‘overthrow’ with the Southern Command - they indict him (a foreign leader) and let him rot in jail in Miami, Florida – jailed way up high in a skyscraper where he reads and sleeps all these years later.

> Marine group called Hard Chargers inside Panama inciting?

> After four hours at on city in a night operation US moves in demanding surrender - in English.

It's sickening. Including coming up with names for their operations.

It's all the same players. All the same kinds of deaths. All the same kinds of lies.

1. The firebombing of the City of Angels was one of the most despicable

War Crimes of all times.

2. It is the exact same script

I started a post this morning about the documentary on Panama (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1458606&mesg_id=1458606) and it sunk like a stone.

I couldn't believe the program because it is the exact same game plan. And because Americans are so ignorant in our history and what is being done in our name they are allowed to do it all over again and again.

The programming on LinkTV is must watch TV. I am glad that a few people have seen it.

3. I'm watching it again. Piles of rubbles everywhere. People sitting and

sleeping out in front of what was their home. And some military brass using his arms to explain how they try for no collateral damage and explaining to the camera what is meant by collateral damage.

I am deeply ashamed of our military brass who commit and pledge to the political wars of men who are pledged to their greed and their agenda of control of humanity and earth resources under the feet of people that they feel they can blow up at will. Just how much do these political brass make for their killing?

Yes, I am very ashamed of our military brass.

I feel very, very sorry for our kids who like some of their parents and some of our friends are delusional, misled, mis-informed about patriotic duty.

This country is a living tragedy. We can't rid ourselves of these creatures who are ruling us. Living creatures without souls.
