US Must face the Truth : Know who is the Terrorist
25 Classic Quotes on Western Hegemony
1- “Its really not a number Im terribly interested in.” -General
Colin
Powell [When asked about the number of Iraqi people who were
slaughtered
by Americans in the 1991 “Desert Storm” terror campaign (200,000
people!)]
2- “I will never apologize for the United States of America – I dont
care
what the facts are.” -President George Bush 1988 [Bush was
demonstrating
his patriotism by excusing an act of cold-blooded mass-murder by the
U.S.
Navy. On July 3, 1988 the U.S. Navy warship Vincennes shot down an
Iranian
commercial airliner. All 290 civilian people in the aircraft were
killed.
The plane was on a routine flight in a commercial corridor in Iranian
airspace. The targeting of it by the U.S. Navy was blatantly illegal.
That
it was grossly immoral is also obvious. Except to a patriot.]
3- “To maintain this position of disparity (U.S. economic-military
supremacy) we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and
day-dreaming…. We should cease to talk about vague and… unreal
objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standard and
democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to
deal
in straight power concepts…. The less we are then hampered by
idealistic
slogans, the better.” -George Kennan [Director of Policy Planning U.S.
State Department 1948]
4- “If they turn on the radars were going to blow up their goddamn
SAMs
(surface-to-air missiles). They know we own their country. We own their
airspace… We dictate the way they live and talk. And thats whats
great
about America right now. Its a good thing, especially when theres a
of oil out there we need.” -U.S. Brig. General William Looney
(Interview
Washington Post, August 30, 1999) [Referring, in reality, to the brutal
mass-murder of hundreds of civilian Iraqi men, women and children
during
10,000 sorties by American/British war criminals in the first eight
months
of 1999]
5- “The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign
policy.”
-Ramsey Clark [Former U.S. Attorney General under President Lyndon
Johnson]
6- “I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar
soaked fingers out of the business of these [Third World] nations so
full
of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their
own. And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type
because the “haves” refuse to share with the “have-nots” by any
peaceful
method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American
style, which they dont want and above all dont want crammed down
their
throats by Americans.” -General David Sharp [Former United States
Marine
Commandant 1966]
7- “We have no honorable intentions in Vietnam. Our minimal expectation
to occupy it as an American colony and maintain social stability for
investments. This tells why American helicopters are being used against
guerrillas in Colombia and Peru. Increasingly the role our nation has
taken is the role of those who refuse to give up the privileges and
pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investment.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr. [“A Time to Break the Silence” speech given at
Riverside Church New York City April 4, 1967]
8- “Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world
particularly the Third World – since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by
elite-owned media.” -Ralph McGehee [Former CIA analyst & Author]

9- “The U.S.A. has supplied arms, security equipment and training to
governments
