There isn't any news in wiki leaks, never will be. The same old distraction in a new way.
Slight of hand....
Anti-American whatever, pay attention to this stuff and you have fallen for the psy-ops once again.
Might as well sit in front of the TV all day and consider that reality.
Good day.

TheAbility, the reason these leaks thus far have been so important, is not exactly because of the information in them. Sure, anyone who's done a bit of research will already know most of what's been released. What IS important, however, is that the release of these cables have shown just how "UN-AMERICAN" the politicians at the top are.
Maybe you should take a second look, instead of instantly dismissing what's happening right now.

Yes, the release is just a distraction... a distraction for TPTB, to show their true colors to the citizens of the world.

It's the same as the lable "anti semetic" that they try and stick on anyone who DARES to criticise.
You can be against US policies without being against US people - sadly, some people just don't get, OR use it as a strawman to try and discredit others.
There's plenty of it about, in all arena's and unfortunately, people have bought into it.
I have been very critical of my own country's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan - does that make me anti - my own country?
No, just able to see past the bullplop and propaganda.
There's nothing wrong with patriotism - it's blind patriotism that's the problem.
That and lying, attacking other sovereign nations to steal their resources and generally being a bully on a worldwide scale.
The US is heading for a fall - sadly it's the nice, normal people that will suffer, not the ones who created the mess in the first place.
But isn't that always the way...
In fact, your post made me think that it is actually the people who are criticising the wars which they believe to be wrong, and government corruption which they see, who care about their country and are PRO-American.
Those who see these things and say and do nothing are actually anti-American. It is every American's duty to hold the Government accountable and ensure that they do not abuse their authority.
As ever, the Government (ab)uses words to turn things on their head.edit on 5-12-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
