"Preparing For More Slaughter in Syria" By Chris Floyd

At some point in the next few hours or days, it is likely that deeply damaged collection of moral cretins known as “Western leaders” will sit down behind the gargantuan phalanxes of heavily armed security that keeps their well-wadded rumps safe and cozy and give the nod to some close-cropped flunky laden with medals for mendacious time-serving and relentless butt-covering to launch the airstrikes that will kill a large number of human beings who had absolutely nothing to do with the alleged chemical weapon attacks allegedly carried out by Syrian government forces.

That is to say, the leaders of the West, particularly the notoriously bloodthirsty nations of the United States and Great Britain, will murder a number of their fellow human beings for no reason whatsoever. What’s more, they know this and admit it beforehand, speaking under oath, as the U.S. military chief did this week, of the inevitable “collateral damage” the coming attacks will cause.

These Western leaders, primarily Barack Obama and the pathetic, feckless ex-PR shill David Cameron, will knowingly murder an unknown number of people while braying all the while of their own righteousness and the strict “legality” of their acts of mass murder. They will be supported in these murders by the leaders of the so-called opposition parties, who will, as always, line up like automatons and spew out mindless, spineless rhetoric in favor of murdering people, because they too are deeply damaged moral cretins who hope one day to have the opportunity to sit in well-wadded comfort and order human beings to be killed.

Chris Floyd's name appears on the Blogroll list to the left of the DU screen. I don't suppose that will prevent him from being stuffed under the bus, though, for being intemperate enough to call Mr. Obama a murderer. Tsk tsk.

1. I don't give a flying fuck where his name is. why should that be in any fucking way

determinative?

It's an awful piece full of silly ad hominems that don't do a thing to persuade. And the lurid overuse of adjectives is mindnumbing and for shit journalism.

It's pretty typical of the Counterpunch style and it's gawd awful.

it's about as persuasive as a sledgehammer. It's counterproductive.
