We're not happy that nearly 16 years later, the Iraq War continues or that the US continues to occupy Iraq or that the so-called peace leaders are in a tizzy over a possible new war on Venezuela but can't object to the ongoing Iraq War.
Right now, there's only one candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination who is consistently raising the issue of endless war.
@TulsiGabbard is committed to stop these costly wars like no one else. She is a Major in the Hawaiian National Guard and has done two tours in Iraq heading up a medic unit. She will put an end to interventionist and regime change wars. Tulsi knows the real cost of endless wars.
Only one candidate is raising the issue consistently and she's the one that the media can't stop attacking. Is that just a coincidence? Or is it that the media-defense industry is not about to let peace become a topic without a fight.
Think back a moment on Dennis Kucinich. He was a peace candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Do you remember how the media attacked him? Mocked him? Did he believe, they wanted to know, in UFOs? And then played him as crazy.
Now think about 2016. Think about how respectful the media was to Hillary's campaign flunky John Podesta who, by the way, publicly believes in UFOs. He was the chair of Hillary's campaign. But no one tried to ridicule him in the press. No one mocked him for believing in UFOs. If you're a War Hawk you can believe and it's okay. If you're a War Hawk, you can get away with a great deal.
