Comments on: Why Obama has defaulted to Bush foreign policy positions http://warincontext.org/2010/01/05/why-obama-has-defaulted-to-bush-foreign-policy-positions/ ... with attention to the unseen Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:49:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jerry Beck http://warincontext.org/2010/01/05/why-obama-has-defaulted-to-bush-foreign-policy-positions/comment-page-1/#comment-7137 Jerry Beck Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:54:15 +0000 http://warincontext.org/?p=2737#comment-7137 How silly we are to expect change from either Democrats or Republicans. In fact they are halves of the only political party in America: The Money Party. It's obvious to anyone who looks at his political appointments that Obama made a deal with the CIA and the Bush people to maintain the wars that are so profitable to the military-intelligence-industrial complex. In Vietnam the US military and CIA were partners in a profitable dope import business. That business continues in Helmand province in Afghanistan. Civilian contractors and their employers make lots of money out of Iraq and Afghanistan so why be surprised that the war continues. As a commandant of the Marine Corps said eighty years ago "War is a racket." How silly we are to expect change from either Democrats or Republicans.
