Iraq's New Death Squad »

Posted By AnteUp 6 months, 2 weeks ago in News

Per retired Lt. Col. Roger Carstens, US Special Forces are "building the most powerful force in the region."
"All these guys want to do is go out and kill bad guys all day," he says, laughing. "These guys are sh*t hot. They are just as good as we are. We trained 'em. They are just like us. They use the same weapons. They walk like Americans."

    So they call themselves the DIRTY BRIGADE?
    Who said the Dirty Wars are over - we're even using
    the same people we employed during that Latin American terror!
    FTA:
    Trombitas told the official blog of the Defense Department that the training missions used in Latin America are "extremely transferable" to Iraq. SALVADORAN Special Forces even helped train the ISOF, he tells me. "It's a world of coalitions," he says. "The longer we work together, the more alike we are. When we share our VALUES and our experiences with other armies, we make them the same." (Emphasis added)

    Help me out? Is there any way NOT to feel a little green after reading this article? Yet another sickening, "Not in my name" segment of US foreign policy.

      Obama wants to increase our utilization of Special Ops Forces -
      and he is AWARE of this obscenity?

      To quote Sly Stone, "...and on and on, and on and on........."

      If this is the world we are building - tell me where we can
      run when even the USA no longer respects human rights - law
      and order - justice? When the image you get of our future
      resembles something out of a Terminator movie - and that's
      if the"good guys" are running the show - you've got to ask
      yourself if having children was a very selfish and poorly
      thought out choice. God help our babies, and all that we
      will be leaving in to this man made Hell on Earth.
