Obama Threatens With War – He Should Give Back Nobel Peace Price!

Wolfgang Gehrcke, member of the Party Executive Committee of DIE LINKE, declares to U.S. President Obama’s threats with a military intervention in Syria:

U.S. President Obama threatens Syria with a military intervention. Completely in the tradition of former Presidents war is his means of campaigning for election. Bush senior won his campaign with Iraq war I, Bush junior with Iraq war II. Obama wants to promote his reelection with threats against Syria. The sequence is the same: first the lies about weapons of mass destruction, then war threats, eventually war. Hundreds of thousands of people had to pay for this cynical, inhuman campaigning tour with their lives.

Equally conducive to war and escalating is the attitude of the Federal government. During the second Iraq war it were BND agents delivering target dates to the "coalition of the willing", today a spy ship of the German armed forces submits informations from Syria unlawfully and behind the back of the Bundestag (Federal Parliament). DIE LINKE calls for demonstrations, pickets, and rallies on September 1, the German date of the International Day of Peace. Offer resistance to the imminent war! President Obama threatens with war. He should better return the Nobel Peace Price.
