The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

President Obama has announced the deployment of 250 more Special
Operations troops to Syria in a move that nearly doubles the U.S.
presence in the country. This comes just days after the Obama
administration announced 217 more troops would be sent to Iraq to help
in the fight against the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
As the U.S.
expands its presence in Iraq and Syria, Democracy Now speaks with the legendary
investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, who has just published a new
book titled "The Killing of Osama bin Laden." In the introduction, Hersh
writes: "It’s now evident, fifteen years after the 9/11 attacks, that
Obama’s foreign policy has maintained many of the core elements of the
Global War on Terror initiated by his predecessor—assassinations, drone
attacks, heavy reliance on special forces, covert operations and, in the
case of Afghanistan, the continued use of American ground forces in
combat. And, as in the years of Bush and Cheney, there has been no
progress, let alone victory, in the fight against terrorism."
