Oscar Heck: What about USA? Haven't they been committing mass genocide for over 15 years?

VHeadline commentarist Oscar Heck writes: Double-faced liars. The UK's Financial Times has published an article entitled, "Uribe accuses Venezuela of backing Farc 'genocide'" ... in which we read ... "Colombia ramped up a war of words with Venezuela and Ecuador yesterday, with President Álvaro Uribe pledging to denounce Venezuela's Hugo Chávez in international courts for 'sponsoring and financing genocide' "

Now, my question is, what genocide is Uribe talking about? He never says what that genocide is. Sly guy, right? Wasn't it the Colombian government who last Saturday threw a bomb on a bunch of Farc members while they slept, on Ecuadorian soil? And didn't they do this with US collaboration? Is that not an act of genocide ... blowing up 17 people while they sleep? Furthermore, what genocide has the Farc committed? And if so, how might the actions of the Farc compare with the thousands of people which the Colombian government has killed, tortured and jailed over the years with the assistance of the AUC (the mercenary/paramilitary forces which mostly protect the same elite who run the Colombian government) and with the help of the US government and US-based mercenary outfits like Blackwater? I don't have the figures at this time ... but I am quite sure that a little research will provide an interesting picture about who the real genociders are ... the Colombian government itself, along with the AUC and the US government and US mercenary contractors.

Hey ... and what about the USA? Haven't they been committing mass genocide for over 15 years in Iraq and, more recently, in Afghanistan?

At least 2 million innocent people have been killed since the Gulf War because of the USA. Nah ... I guess that ain't genocide, right? (I was there during the Gulf War ... I know what I saw.) Liars. Hypocrites. Murderers. I cannot get it out of my head.

The article goes on: "Colombia's vice-president Francisco Santos also accused the country's Farc rebels of planning to make a radioactive "dirty bomb", citing information from computers reported captured during Colombia's raid on a guerrilla jungle camp over the Ecuadorian border."

Oh ... what a surprise, another new expression, "dirty bomb" ... ooh ... I rattle with fear ... just as I trembled out of my socks when I heard "Weapons of Mass Destruction." Ooh ...

Then: "The accusations, together with Colombia's claims that the governments of Ecuador and Venezuela have had direct links with the Marxist insurgents ... "

Doesn't that sound like when Saddam Hussein was said to have had links to the attackers of 9/11?

Ooh ... now I am really scared ... liars.

And then, of course: "President George W. Bush yesterday sent out a strong message of support for Colombia. 'America will continue to stand with Colombia as it confronts violence and terror and fights drug traffickers,' he said after a telephone conversation with Mr Uribe."

Of course, Bush is going to back Colombia because the USA is deeply and militarily and mercenary-wise involved within Colombia through Plan Colombia ... and because anything that sounds like "dirty bombs" and "direct links with Marxist insurgents" is clearly a complete fabrication of the criminal US government.

Liars.
