[Peace] Stand with France, Lebanon, & Russia Against ISIS Terror

[C. G. Estabrook]

We shouldn’t sign this petition or support such liberal belligerence. 

“…support cooperation…”? Is that a not-so-covert call for more US killing in the Mideast (cf. “Support our troops!”)?

Obama is already carrying on a world-wide assassination campaign with drones (he chooses the targets) and an 80,000 member private presidential army (“special operation forces,” who report only to the president’s National Security Council). He’s already killed more than 6,000 people with drones alone (including US citizens and hundreds of children), and his SOF terrorists boast of their activities (which include kidnapping - ‘rendition’ - torture, and murder) in three-quarters of the countries of the world. Obama continues to conduct what Noam Chomsky has called “the most extreme terrorist campaign of modern times.” 

“High-level lying … remains the modus operandi of US policy,” writes Seymour Hersh, “along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command, and cutting out those who might say no.” 

We should say no to calls for “cooperation” like that. Here’s a better idea of how to respond to ISIS attacks:

http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2015/11/15/how-to-beat-isis-quarantine-them/

That would mean
~ closing US military bases in foreign countries (there are 1000 - no other country has more than 12);
~ bringing US troops (and mercs) home; and
~ halving the Pentagon budget and using the resultant force to defend US territory against killers foreign and domestic (notably the police, "a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state").
