Product Obama Drops Charade about Closing Gitmo and Unleashed Drones on Africa. Progress!

Just a quick note: as the title says, it's time to put pretense aside. Barack Obama is nothing more than a neoliberal DLC New Dem in sheep's clothing and now he's in office for another 4 years, it's time for the Obamadrones to shut up and face the facts.

"The State Department on Monday reassigned Daniel Fried, the special envoy for closing the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and will not replace him, according to an internal personnel announcement. Mr. Fried's office is being closed, and his former responsibilities will be "assumed" by the office of the department's legal adviser, the notice said." New York Times [  link to www.nytimes.com ]

"The United States military command in Africa is preparing plans to establish a drone base in northwest Africa to increase unarmed surveillance missions on the local affiliate of Al Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups that American and other Western officials say pose a growing menace to the region.

For now, officials say they envision flying only unarmed surveillance drones from the base, though they have not ruled out conducting missile strikes at some point if the threat worsens." New York Times [  link to www.nytimes.com ]

It's official, the blinders are off, the truth is out there. Starting off the next term and there isn't even a pretense anymore.

Hang on folks, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Only white racist US Generals would hire a black guy to recolonize Africa, not that African was ever truly independent of western white racist fascism.
