For those unfamiliar with planet Bizarro, it isa planet that seems to be a mirror image of Earth from certain issues of theSuperman comic books. People say hello when they mean good-by.  Trash is considered treasure. Everyone dressesup like Superman. Every thing on that planet is the opposite of Earth.So the recent stories of Gen. David Petraeus(AKA Be-tray-us) and his sex affair with PaulaBroadwell seem as if the whole thing has been taking part in the BizarroWorld. Here is a man who made a career of helping the US Army conquer a nationand then kill off all of those who refuse to accept the US installedphony democracy. He played a major role in the CIA, a spy organization designedto manipulate, disrupt and sometimes assassinate any people or groups of peoplewho refuse to support the USforeign policy objectives. Many of us on the left consider his career to benothing more than that of a war criminal.And yet there is almost overwhelming supportamong US politicians and mainstream media pundits for his job of oppressingpeople in their own countries and killing lots of people in Iraq and othercountries in the Middle-east. However it took a sexual affair to finally bringdown this war criminal. In this country it is an honor to kill and oppresspeople to steal their resources. But cheat on his wife and the man hascommitted a serious crime that will probably end his career.  An article in the KasamaProject  points out that politiciansfrom the right-wing to the liberal left have nothing but “Awe and respect for a vicious war criminal.” The article, by Mike Elygoes on to say;“It is amazing to see how  DavidPetraeus is portrayed as a man of honor and accomplishment throughout themainstream commentary, including by people who are considered liberal and even“progressive.” A sexual affair is portrays as a tragic stain on a brilliant and honorable career. And his resignation is portrayed as an unfortunateand even shocking development in the life of a man devoted to service.What could be more perverse than such a description?”As thearticle points out, it is hard to find any mainstream politician or news punditwho has anything bad to say about Petraeus, out side of his personal life. Otherthan his wife, who cares if he had an affair? That is the least of his crimes.
According to TheNew York Times, Petraeus did take the time to speak to lawmakers aboutthe attacks and answer questions about the (Barack) “Obama administration’s handling of the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi that killedAmbassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans….”And;“Mr. Petraeus, who resignedlast week after admitting to an extramarital affair, said the names of groupssuspected in the attack — including Al Qaeda’s franchise in North Africa and alocal Libyan group, Ansar al-Shariah — were removed from the public explanationof the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militantsthat American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them,lawmakers said.”And we all know that anyone who opposes what the US has done totheir country and tries to retaliate is nothing more than a “terrorist;”“They knew right away thatthere were terrorists involved in the operation,” said Representative C. A.Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland,the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.”By now many of us realize the word terrorism is purely propaganda andsimply means any person or group who takes us on by military means. The termused to mean that a person or group of persons were terrorist if they didthings to terrorize people, such as a bombing or an assassination that isdesigned to scare people into submission. Today it has only propaganda meanings.Any military or paramilitary group that opposes US foreign policy objectives isa terrorist group.  -សáž�ិážœ អáž�ុ
