Hiding murder of civilians, eh? You seem very eager to forget Bush only acted because of the murder of thousands of American civilians in New York.

LOL!!
Yeah, by sending more americans to their death then the 911 attacks.
Go figure.

By freeing millions of people from tyranny and beginning the dismantling of Al Qaeda that Obama is finishing. America's soldiers and allies knew exactly what they were getting in to, and don't need you to spit on their accomplishments.

You mean the Al Qaeda that was trained and weaponized by the US to fight for them against the russians?
That Al Qaeda?

That has been slightly overstated. Osama himself never directly received any funds from Americans. Most of the funding for the fighters came through middlemen in Pakistan, and that is the country to look towards for training and weaponizing Al Qaeda, as if the fact that they sheltered Osama for ten years after the attack was not evidence enough for that. Again, the world is complex, sometimes reality just doesn't fall into the neat little anti-American storyline you wish it did. It may be satisfying to hate on America, but when you ignore Pakistan you are again giving the true criminals a free pass.

It's like I am actually experiencing a news announcement from a telescreen after Two Minutes Hate.

Are you saying Al Qaeda was an imaginary threat? Again, the thousands of people they murdered around the world might take issue with that. In Atlas world I guess they just stop murdering on their own without need for military action because he was going to give them a flower or something.

Whether they are imaginary or not, I don't know. However, they were a good excuse to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the name of corporate and banking interests.
