It is useful to reflect on the manner in which the supposedly strictly- divided mainstream media in the US — rabid anti-Trump CNN and rabid pro-Trump Fox — have been fully integrated behind the British Empire’s hysteria against the Biden administration’s ending the Afghanistan war without getting British approval. As EIR has documented this past week, the British are terrified that the US acting on its own to end the “endless wars,” and potentially joining with China and Russia to develop Afghanistan, would mean the end of the Empire, since it depends on US military might to run its colonial wars.
A clear example of this was available Monday night by switching back and forth from the simultaneous news shows by Hanitty on Fox and Chris Cuomo on CNN, who usually pride themselves on exposing the “lies” and “fake news” of the other side. Last night, one could not tell which channel was on, as the words from both were virtually identical — and straight from the bloody British:
Hannity: “Apparently Joe Biden was telling all of us an outright lie, because there are still hundreds, maybe thousands, of Americans left in Kabul. This transcends politics, this is not Democrat, Republican, conservative, or liberal. Everybody should see it right here.”
Cuomo: “Americans are still on the ground, who wanted to get out, and couldn’t, an unknown number of families, who believed America when they were told that they would be saved if they worked with U.S. troops, are also still there. The concept of `No man left behind’ is centuries old. And it is a concrete commitment that inspires loyalty. Do we still believe in that commitment?”
Hannity: This was “the worst self-inflicted foreign policy disaster in American history.” He demanded that “everyone involved” be fired — Blinken, Sullivan, “yes, Joe Biden too, fired…. Under Joe Biden, the terrorist called all the shots. Let’s stop lying to ourselves right here. The Taliban is a terrorist group. He [Biden] said the Taliban has made commitments on safe passage…. Joe, you’ve got to be kidding.”
