Sep 2014

See, Obama's mouthpiece said that we decided to attack Khorasan because we worried that the other airstrikes in Syria would cause them to flee if we waited. Greenwald said that the U.S. only mentioned Khorasan because we needed an excuse to strike in Syria!

Clearly everything Greenwald says is TOTALLY BOGUS! How can we trust someone who does not repeat and agree with whatever the latest general or "security expert" says?!
