"Americans say US has no options but to fight on"

I have seen Stan Goff speak. He is eloquent, but also a tough guy who is usually deliberative and analytical. He has a son in the military, just back from Iraq, He is active in military families against the war. He must have watched video or saw pictures of this latest carnage on TV. He seems to have imploded with anguish over all the dead, writing yesterday:

"Today, I will appeal again to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell and Karl Rove and Condi Rice and every cheap careerist chickennuts member of Congress that authorized this war? you all go on over there. Go on. Take that puppet-thug Allawi with you, and strap on your body armor, and walk out into the streets. Lock and load, and walk right out into the streets of Baghdad and show everyone what a bunch of bad-asses you all are. Go out there yourselves and face the rage you have engendered in this broken nation with your lies and your bombs and your bullets and your round-ups and your prisons. Get out of your limos and posh offices and see the world. Please. Go enter the world that you have made. I beg you. Go."

I have seen Stan Goff speak....

Goff is an eloquent writer, whose material is sometimes abstract enough to challenge the brains of the reasonably educated. His writings I've noticed often view events through the lens of Marxism/materialism/political-economy, which jibes with my own bent, since this lens brings history and current events into greatest clarity.

See his recent FTW article, 'Persian Peril, Part Five: The Material Basis of Accumulation by Stan Goff':
www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/120604_material_accumulation.shtml

He also has a fine article in the current FTW subscriber newsletter, 'THE HAITIAN INTIFADA - A story of politics from black and white, high and low. - By Stan Goff'
(summary): www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/113004_haitian_intifada_summary.shtml
This article is particularly interesting in his remarks about the dubious role of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Again, I'll send along the latest FTW to anyone who asks via DD-mail, just provide me your email addy and I'll send the .5 MB PDF file along.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight

That makes about as much sense as a gang of home invaders who planned on hitting one house and later realized that they had invaded and trashed an entirely different house, and then bound and terrorized a different family, but since they are already there and have made such a mess of the place they have to stay and continue to make an even worse mess and continue to terrorize the homeowners or even kill them. Once having begun a criminal act one must continue acting in a criminal manner??

After all we're already here, right?
