All of the far Left, anti-war blogs (by &#8220;all&#8221; I mean literally hundreds of cut and paste blogs) are running an <a href=\"http:\/\/english.aljazeera.net\/focus\/2009\/12\/200912883024475217.html\">Al-Jazeera article <\/a>by that title written by Sarah Lazare, who happens to be the &#8220;project coordinator&#8221; for Courage to Resist &#8211; a band of smelly hippies who help the military&#8217;s derelicts be derelict.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, her contention is that the military is just worn out from the war. Of course, the best way to spread that kind of lie is on Al-Jazeera, which has a stake in the defeat of the US military, Besides no semi-legitimate news organization would give the hairy-legged Lazare a column inch for this kind of tripe;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Many from within the ranks are openly declaring that they have had enough, allying with anti-war veterans and activists in calling for an end to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with some active duty soldiers publicly refusing to deploy.<\/p>\n<p>This growing movement of military refusers is a voice of sanity in a country slipping deeper into unending war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many? She counts two &#8211; Victor Agosto and Travis Bishop. Seems to me if there are &#8220;many&#8221; she&#8217;d have more stories than those two. Digging a little deeper, I found she&#8217;s been collaborating with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=15475\">Dahr Jamail<\/a> who has also been trying to pimp the story that the military is on the verge of complete collapse because of all of the desertions &#8211; based on interviews he did five and six years ago with stellar troops like Geogg &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=5858\">Stolen Valor<\/a>&#8221; Millard.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Lazare sees the real reason for the US war in the Middle East as a war of imperialism;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The never-ending nature of this conflict belies the real project of establishing US dominance in the Middle East and control of the region&#8217;s resources, at the expense of the Afghan civilians and US soldiers being placed in harm&#8217;s way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The region&#8217;s resources. Because every imperial power needs a major shit hole to administrate. Our children are always demanding newer sources of sand and rocks for their playground antics.<\/p>\n<p>Lazare, you&#8217;re an idiot &#8211; I don&#8217;t mean that as an insult. It&#8217;s the closest thing to a compliment I could summon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have an internet feed that tracks a good number of the anti-war bozos and the &hellip; <a title=\"Sarah Lazare is exhausting\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=16399\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sarah Lazare is exhausting<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,30,7,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-phony-soldiers","category-terror-war","category-usual-suspects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
