First, we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. Working with the Iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions, so that we’re hitting ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense. Moreover, I have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven. . . .” These exact words, without change, could have been uttered by George W. Bush. They could have been spoken, exactly as they are, by William Jefferson Clinton. They read exactly like every war speech that George H. W. Bush ever gave. The dates change, but the war rhetoric is always the same. Every President is a war President, and in war every President talks in the same voice from the same mouth with the same lies for the same ultimate purpose: to legitimize politically-organized mass murder.
