"disturbing images" of Syrian gassing films on network TV? This is propaganda set to get people's visceral reaction to support the bombing. Why didn't they show the "graphic videos" of the victims of our attacks in other countries?
Why does Kerry keep saying that it concerns our security? Do they know something that we don't or are they just intimating that in order to get support.

So I think DU, America, and the world should be reminded that a child or a house pet might get lucky, or might be able to take cover from, or might just not be-targeted-by a conventional weapon...
but that same child or house-pet or old person or just any non-combatant is going to die a horrible death if they are within breathing range of a gas attack. Said attack, if recent history is relevant, is MORE likely to have targeted civilians in the first place.
They are outlawed for a good reason, and the world community should shut that shit down so fast a dictator doesn't have time blink anytime chemical weapons are used.

Your characterization of the debate on DU is false, and disrespectful of those whose opinions differ from yours -- and the only reason for that mischaracterization is that you're evading the issue being debated because it isn't compatible with your line of war propaganda.

(9,688 posts)It'll get worse. Hell, this round of shock warporn propaganda started with Kerry invoking Hitler.
There are too many who will turn on a dime when the warporn is trotted out in the buildup to a new or expanded war -- these same ones who pretend that they were "fooled or tricked" into their slavering war hysteria before the previous war.
