'US engaged in a war on the Muslim nations'
 [Iran Press TV] The United States "is engaged in a war on the Muslim nations of the Middle East over control of oil and other natural resources and strategic shipping lanes", says Joe Iosbaker, spokesperson of the United National Antiwar Coalition.Iosbaker says the U.S. war on Muslim countries is the real reason behind the assassinations of American citizens abroad. The fact that the U.S. government's can order the killing of American citizens is a "terrible development", Iosbaker said in an interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk. "The justification can only be one of an imperial president who takes powers greater than that allowed or provided in the constitution". A confidential Justice Department memo concludes that the U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they are believed to be "senior operational leaders" of al-Qaeda or "an associated force" -- even if there is no intelligence indicating they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S. Posted by: Fred 2013-02-06 |
