The Proxy War… a war of double deception http://www.islamtimes.org/vdciuwaq.t1awz2lict.html

When any group raises its weapons to protect themselves against an aggressor, it is an act of self-defense, but the aggressor somehow orchestrates it all to look like they are the guilty party.The American government, or any other group that starts a war is caught up in a web of deception and hidden agendas. First they have to rationalize to themselves that going into a country and killing its citizens is somehow good for some greater cause. Then they have to fabricate a story to convince their own people and the world at large that what they are doing is good not only for the people who live in the target area but for the people of their own country as well.

It doesn’t take a lie detector test to know that this is nothing but propaganda. Recently, the American public just about fell out of their collective chairs when President Obama and Secretary Clinton announced that U.S. forces would help the people of Libya for humanitarian purposes by attacking their country with air strikes. One news commentator asked a government spokesperson “Can you explain please, I don’t quite understand… 

what exactly is a humanitarian bombing?”But this is only one level of the lies that accompany war – or strategies as the militarists call them. Secretary Clinton addressed the American public stating that every middle-east country undergoing a revolt has different circumstances so each one needs to be handled with a different strategy. What that really translates into in non-diplomatic terms is “We have to take advantage of these opportunities individually and use them for our own benefit while making it look like we are helping the oppressed people”. So, the ruse of war is custom designed for different circumstances.
