On the NBC national "news" tonight:
Coverage of the three USians killed in Syria. "News" reporting that, while the US has been sneaking forces in country down, the experts have been warning words to the effect "if the US pulls out, the boogyman will come back". Don't be surprised if the US escalates in Syria, which, by a cheery coincidence, will cover Israel's flank.
Then, the "news" moved on to coverage of Machado's escape and her saying words to the effect "we will free Venezuela, and Cuba, and Nicaragua, and get rid of all the Communists. She sounds just like CIA director Casey, forty years ago, mumbling about "Nicawawa". What I don't know, if if she really thinks this way, and thinks the US will leave Venezuela to the Venezuelans, after tossing Maduro, or if she is a "useful idiot"/paid for front person, reciting a script written by the CIA.
Either way, the Neocons are certainly ascendant.
