“Trump Admin Is Going to Take Saudis at “Their Word” on Pensacola Terrorist Attack
“A treacherous attack on US officer candidates on US soil and Trump' first reaction is to run interference for the Saudis with the press”
The truth be told, investigating whether a specific act of killing was terror or not much resembles the work of Medieval Scholastic Fathers determining the number of angels accommodated on the head of a pin.
It's a laughable exercise, one serving no useful purpose. It is simply a search for more headline-grabbing propaganda in “the war on terror.”
It makes no difference to anyone what was going on inside the head of a killer. Some people just kill, and their "reasons" wouldn't even make sense to many.
Almost by definition, all killers are insane, either temporarily or clinically.
The only genuine large-scale organized terror we see today is America's. And it is on a massive scale.
As in Afghanistan, where Washington has bombed peasants for 18 years to achieve nothing.
They are still at it, having squandered enough money to rebuild many of America's own crumbling cities.
They had no clear purpose from the start. The Taliban are not terrorists and were not responsible for 9/11.
Those truly responsible for 9/11 were never even named, let alone dealt with in any way.
As I said, killing always involves a form of madness.
