Obama: Another American Imperialist

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Monday November 03, 2008 10:24author by Jim Report this post to the editors

Change? What Change?

In a speech in July, Barack Obama stated that he wants to "re-deploy" American troops in Iraq "carefully" with their safety in mind and "responsibly" leaving behind a "sovereign" Iraqi government that can "take responsibility for its own future."

In doublespeak that means Barack Obama is as committed as George W. Bush was to the imperialist American project in the Middle East - toppling anti-American elites and replacing them with pro-American elites to administer the American agenda.

Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

This speech is the clearest evidence that Obama is a just as right wing in regard to the "War on Terror" and as gleeful in projecting American global military, economic and cultural dominance to every corner of the earth.

Don't be fooled by "change." A frosted sugar coating of welfare programs for the American poor should fool nobody.

Obama is in bed with the corporations and the white elite like no other candidate in American history.
