FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The invasion of Iraq, which Mr Obama has often called “the wrong war”,
remains deeply controversial, both for the Bush administrations’s promise of
finding weapons of mass destruction and the 4,500 US troops killed.
Meanwhile, the ongoing war in Afghanistan, which Mr Obama has pledged to end
by 2015, is opposed by up to thirds of the American public, according to
recent polls.
“When our troops return from Afghanistan, America will give this entire
9/11 Generation the welcome home they deserve,” Mr Obama said.
As with everything in an election year, the President’s speech contained an
element of politics. According to a Gallup poll, Mr Obama lags behind Mitt
Romney, his Republican challenger, by 24 points among veterans.
Former troops, who make up 13 per cent of the voting population, backed Mr
Romney by 58 per cent to Mr Obama’s 34 per cent. Among non-veterans Mr Obama
enjoyed a four-point advantage, putting him in a statistical dead heat.
Mr Romney also used Memorial Day as a political peg, warning that Mr Obama’s
proposed cuts to military spending would put the US on “the pathway of
Europe”, where defence budgets came to second social welfare.
He vowed he would “preserve America as the strongest military in the
world, second to none, with no comparable power anywhere in the world.”
Mr Romney was joined at his San Diego speech by John McCain, the Republican’s
2008 presidential candidate and a former prisoner of war in North Vietnam’s
infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison.
