Dear Prof. Chomsky,

Please wait at least until the body is in the ground.

Thanks,

it's not like the bush family cared about the troops who died fighting these neocon wars based on lies. 22 vets commit suicide every day

Well did he say this recently or is the fellow in the video just rehashing what he said long before President Bush's passing? I admit I didn't watch the video in the OP but the thumbnail looks pretty dang old. The quality of it doesn't look modern at all. I agree with you if he said it now, it's wrong on account of the timing.

I think his son, George W. Bush, is just as guilty of being a war criminal than his father is.

The response from Common Decency is applicable to all.

IMO The Bush family have led some of the most humane wars in history.

You're right. I shouldn't speak ill of the dead. Is it acceptable to speak ill of his son George W.?

I have partaken in more than one of the Families wars; humane is not a word I would associate with any war. The First Gulf War was short and humanitarian feeding was performed for the thousands of Iraqi troops that surrendered, but it was still a war that cost lives.

That's helpful to know so I won't waste any time in my life watching his videos either.

I watched two minutes before I looked him up. Minutes gone forever…

This video was "published" on 12/3/18.

The interview, as stated in the very beginning of the video actually took place "a while ago", and i'm assuming that means it was before the death of former President George H. W. Bush.

jimmy dore is an anti war progressive who isn't afraid of calling out neocon lunatics. alex jones plays a character and is solely responsible for making the 9/11 truth movement look like a joke.

dore is a skeptic, not a conspiracy theorist.

Chomsky is a deceived, rebel atheist so you really have to filter out the BS when you read what he writes.

If George H.W. Bush is a war criminal, then so is Barack Obama, who own drone wars, torture, backing Islamists in the Arab spring, Libyan intervention, backing neo-nazis in Ukraine, etc. has made access of this world, and a lot of blood shed.

George H.W. Bush for all his faults was actually restraint in foreign policy, didn't intervene when the collapse of the Soviet Union was happening, didn't intervene when the revolutions of 89-92 swept Central & Eastern Europe, he did get the Iraqis out of Kuwait, yet stopped short of going into Baghdad, and overthrowing Saddam, and in the case of Panama it was quick, and was to stop a pro-soviet drug dealer threatening our country, and flooding our streets with drugs. Not to say I agreed with Desert storm, as that was a Arab vs Arab problem.

As far as war criminals go look at Barack Obama (ie - backing genocidal Islamists against Christians, alwaites, druez, etc. In the Arab spring mess, the Libyan intervention using deplated uranium, giving weapons to the drug cartels in operation fast & furious, expanding bush jr drone wars, backing the Saudi Damon induced invasion and war on the Yemeni people, etc. continuing torture, etc) , Bill Clinton (ie - deplated uranium over former Yugoslavia, using a drug dealing death squad to kill Pablo Escobar, sanctions killing up to 500,000 Iraqis, no fly zone strikes targeting civilians in Iraq, torture, etc.) , Harry Truman (ie - nuclear bombing of Japan, etc.), George W Bush (ie - Drone wars targeting civilians, Guantanamo bay, secret prisons, torture, etc. )

out of all the people he choose to call war criminal former President George HW Bush was down the list. Heck Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter were even worse by supporting the Muslim Milltartist Indonesian occupation, and Genocide of Catholic East Timor, and the Muslim Turkish massacre of Orthodox Greek Cyprus.

Chomsky is a joke, and not a funny one, either. There are no words which are appropriate for this setting to describe that particular individual.

Yes.

 

[Just Another User]

If George H.W. Bush is a war criminal, then so is Barack Obama

Certainly. Anyone with a conscience would agree with this. Practically every president the Second World War has committed some form of war crimes. About one of the only bi-partisan things America can do is blowing up foreigners to infiltrate new markets.

Chomsky is a deceived, rebel atheist so you really have to filter out the BS when you read what he writes.

If he doesn't talk about religion then I don't see the problem with having to filter out anything. He's certainly more honest than any president he talk about and he's been spot on when it comes to calling out American imperialism.

I do understand that this is an argument from popularity but nevertheless he is the most quoted intellectual living and one of the top ten of quoted of all time. Can you explain to me some of his major ideas and beliefs which can be considered idiotic when it comes to America?


Just look at what's happening right now. Trump has named Juan Guido President despite around 80% of Venezuelans never hearing of him before this event. Guido has never won a single election and yet calls himself President Interim. What's with America always interfering with other country's business? He claims he serving the Venezuelans despite over 4/5 wanting America to leave them alone. American exceptionalism at it's finest.
