Not long ago people complained about the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay . Back then President George Bush
called those prisoners "enemy combatants." he said they had no rights
at all as enemy soldiers. They had no right to trial.
Today—many years later—where are the enemy combatants?
The answer is simple—we no longer take prisoners. We just
kill those who violate our western values. Not since the US Indian Wars
was there such an attempt to exterminate a people as is now being done in Iraq .
If we go back to World War II, our army captured many troops
and leaders of those troops. Out troops took prisoners in the Korean War. Not
today. We are exterminating them.
So what happens to those who actually surrender to US led
coalition troops?, according to Independent
UK News:
"Iraqi security forces kill Isis prisoners
because they believe that if the militants are sent to prison camps they will
bribe the authorities in Baghdad to release them. “That is why Iraqi soldiers
prefer to shoot them or throw them off high buildings,” says one Iraqi source.
A former senior Iraqi official said he could name the exact sum that it would
take for an Isis member to buy papers enabling him to move freely around Iraq ."
"The leader of an ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan was killed in a U.S. airstrike
on the groups’ headquarters this week, the Pentagon said Friday.
Abu Sayed, the emir of the Islamic State of Iraq
and Syria in the Khorasan Province ,
called ISIS-K, died in Tuesday’s airstrike in Kunar
Province , a region on Afghanistan ’s northeast border with Pakistan .
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters on
Friday that when leaders of terror groups like ISIS-K are killed the groups
could be set back a day, a few weeks or a month. "It's obviously a victory
on our side, in terms of setting them back. It's the right direction," he
said."
So we see the proud victory of an Army that takes no
prisoners and celebrates every time the kill an important person.
This is nothing less than genocide. This country has decided
to kill all those who don't fit in with their new global order. In this war the
idea is to wipe out the people who may have differences of opinion.
Another thing missing is any kind of negotiating. Our
military treats that as weakness. But we have no way of moving out of this war.
There can be no solution to these wars but absolute and total victory for the
US Empire who is now relying on their superior weapons.
This is one more reason to oppose these phony wars. We know
they are not about terrorism, that is a lie. This is about defending the US empire
against all those who oppose it. The US started this war, not them. They
are extermination campaigns and nothing less.
