Is The Government Lying?
Amid the awful situation in Mali, The Pentagon just announced the following:
#BREAKING: US special forces assist in Mali hotel hostage recovery: Pentagon
— Agence France-Presse (@AFP) November 20, 2015
And this:
- BREAKING NEWS: About 25 U.S. military personnel were in Bamako at the time of the hotel incident - U.S. defense official.
Which is odd, given the following...
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that the U.S. has ruled out putting any American troops on the ground in Mali, but officials are hoping the French will succeed in establishing better security for the West African nation.
So is the government just lying (as usual)?

Why the question mark?!

maybe they're in a helicopter... or in a humvee, can you honestly say their real actual feet are on the real actual ground?
Depends on what your interpretation of "is" is ...
Great article on Global Research about Paris attacks. Another false flag? Put two & two together.
Highlights from article;
-Syrian refugee passport found so quickly
- supposed witness “this is for Syria” immediately immerges
- President Hollande kept repeating in the next several hours what appeared to be his scripted lines already declaring that France was at war against already identified terrorist attackers from Syria before any investigation had even begun
- French authorities knew of an impending terrorist attack being planned by Islamic State jihadists “at a French rock concert” as early as August.
- Turkey also warned the authorities in France twice about one of the three alleged suicide bombers but no response and nothing was done
- Paris attack was described on twitter dated a full two days in advance of the November 13th killings
- Wikipedia running an early story version at 23:06 specifying that French President François Hollande declared a state of emergency and closing of borders. That didn’t happen until 23:58, nearly an hour prior to Hollande’s actual statement
- security forces in Paris were simultaneously undergoing another live action emergency drill earlier that same day as we’ve seen before in other such events like Boston Marathon and 9/11
- two weeks prior to the attack, CIA Director John Brennan met with his French counterpart along with UK’s MI6 former chief and former Israeli national security advisor. On Monday Brennan admitted that the international intelligence community expected a terrorist attack in Europe
- Overwhelming evidence has proven the US-Israeli-Saudi-Turkish connection to ISIS terrorists
- In September Putin outed Obama’s fake war against ISIS at the UN, then actually began destroying ISIS where Obama only pretended
- US-Israel held joint military exercises at the same time and same place that ISIS took down the Russian airliner
- Defense Secretary Carter’s Russia bashing threats followed just hours later a few miles away with the Trident missile’s LA light show seen around the world as a threat to Russia and China to back off from challenging US Empire’s global hegemony
- Syria now being bombed from French jets as well as Israeli and Saudi warplanes. Timed purposely on the heels of the Paris tragedy and the G-20 meeting in Turkey which has turned into a war council to drum up intensified world war effort against nemesis Assad and Putin. But the Western bombs are making sure that they do not destroy ISIS nor ISIS-controlled oil refineries because they sell the oil to NATO member Turkey. Nor are they attacking the critical ISIS supply line in northern Syria that extends back into Turkey.

NO!!! You see, they didn't lie. They are not "us" troops, like Us Magazine, they are United States troops.
"It depends on what the meaning of is is."
Progressives specialize in lying.
Go Hillary!
What were those troops doing in an African country? Here's my guess:

Yeah! We need a return to the honesty and transparency of the George W and HW Bush administrations! Bring back Oliver North, Poindexter, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney! We need the honest brokers of those legendarily law abiding administrations! Oh wait maybes it's not about R&D but about Deep State vs a return to rule of law in a Democratic Republic. I don't like Obama or Hiliary, but I get so sick of people on ZH acting like this is all a god damned partisan issue instead of a continuity of government issue. C.O.G. (Or the shadow government) was implented by Bush with Poindexter and North during the Reagan admin.
Yeah! I agree with ya, dude! Bush was as much a progressive as the rest of them. Get all of the lying progressives the hell out.
IT'S A GOD DAMN (woo, hoo... I can swear too!) PROGRESSIVE/STATIST PROBLEM.
"Is the Government lying"?
Better question:
WHEN ISN'T the government lying?
are their lips moving?
I get your trick question. They're lying when moving or not. Their body language tells they just have someone else lying for them at the moment.
When they threaten to throw you in jail for not paying taxes.
>for not paying taxes.
Congress is poised to enact a law denying or revoking passports for U.S. citizens who haven’t paid their taxes.
Under a new law expected to take effect in January, the State Department will block Americans with “seriously delinquent” tax debt from receiving new passports and will be allowed to rescind existing passports of people who fall into that category. The list of affected taxpayers will be compiled by the Internal Revenue Service using a threshold of $50,000 of unpaid federal taxes, including penalties and interest, which would be adjusted for inflation.
The rule has been passed in similar versions by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is part of a highway-funding bill, H.R. 22

Just another coincidence kinda like FEEMA was in NYC the day before 911.
It is not possible! The .gov loves us! Stop criticizing the regime!
And if you do criticize the Emperor, expect some IRS questions, and dont make international travel plans, as you'll need to hand in your passport.
The paradigm of a rhetorical question.
Yes
Since when did the Government stop lying ?? It's all they can do.
No. No they are not lying at all.
Lying? Or does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?
When a person on the Left Hand knows whats going on with the Right Hand that person gets moved to a completely new project. Compartmentalization is used in the sneaky programs that are illegal to begin with.
Define : " TROOPS ".
Answer : " CIA "
There will be a fairly significant, platoon sized unit, of embassy guards, all U.S. uniformed soldiers
That's the official story. Then there will be a number of CIA 'contractors' (mercenaries) in addition to that.
Who should be on alert guarding the embassy, not running around the local mall.
A platoon will be 4 squads of 12 soldiers for a total of 48, 24 of which will remain guarding the embassy and 24 of which can go out on patrol. In some African and ME countries there will be company size embassy guard units - 200 soldiers plus support.
And when an incident is happening, they should all be securing the embassy.
What's a a few mercs between friends?
From my SF friend: Yes, there were some guys there already. Not a lot, some. Numbers we see here are not out of line. The thing to watch is if they ADD any more.
Leon Panetta ISN'T the defense secretary - hasn't been for a while. Hmmmmmm
The date on the linked page is January the 16th 2013.
Come on Tyler(s)! That was bit disingenuous.
DavidC
It's long enought for someone to change their mind, though.
Define Lying
Is the government's mouth moving? Is our children learning? Is ISIS funded by CIA? Who is funding Sissi? Is Sissi and ISIS learnng?
At this point why bother even asking that question. It has become as excepted as the answer to "does this skirt make my butt look big?" Of course not dear.
As long as they have a pulse and are conscious then the answer isn't even in question.
Lying? No. http://www.africom.mil/about-the-command

Yeah, I raise Hell. So what?
Lying or incompetent or both.
For those in the land of the free that refuse to see the nazism infecting our nation and the world....

Does the pope shit in the woods?
When do we get together and put a stop to it?
In a word: N. E. V. E. R.
Panetta said that in 2013. This is just bad reporting (and bad screening by ZH).
So typical of ZH. This story shows how you always have to be skeptical of what you read here.
Is The Government Lying?
are their lips moving?
Much has changed since Panetta. United States Africa Command, (U.S. AFRICOM) is one of six of the U.S. Defense Department's geographic combatant commands, Mali is in the commands AOR.
Established in 2008 the United States Africa Command, in concert with interagency and international partners, builds defense capabilities, responds to crisis, and deters and defeats transnational threats in order to advance U.S. national interests and promote regional security, stability, and prosperity.
Don't confuse the lingo...."Troops" are those regular schmos, whereas "Special Forces", well, they're special.
If their lips are moving they're lying.
Simple.
Cant be a serious question.....
Of course they are not lying... give me one good reason why they would? /sarc
Depends on your definition of "is"
-Slick Willie Clinton
"About 25 U.S. military personnel were in Bamako at the time of the hotel incident"
Yeah swell, but were they quartered at the said hotel, let me guess, contract quarters on the seventh floor.
isn't calling someone "special" really a micro aggression? i.e. he's the special kid from the short bus. I must protest, get some muscle in here and maybe shoot the reporter.
.gov is vacilating on whether or not special ops helped out. If they did help out, how could they scramble to a hotel in Mali but not to a CIA station in Libya?
A better title: "When Isn't the Gov't Lying?"
Because if you want soldiers to a job without calling them Troops or Boots on the ground, you call them SPECIAL FORCES... I am not sure why that is the new rule... Obama made it up so who knows.
Yes I know Even the most SPECIAL of forces are still called troops, "special operations troops"... whatever... and presumably they wear footgear that qualifies as boots...
MINISTRY OF TRUTH!! DO NOT QUESTION BIG BROTHER (soon to be big sister).
Sometimes also called "advisors" or "trainers".
Anything but what they really are: boots.
Mali: George Soros and the Crime Syndicate must have a vault they need to loot.
No Troops
Hollywood Spec Ops
Last time i checked Panetta hasnt been SecDef since 11
They're certainlly not truthing,
We have 'special forces' in 81 countries, so maybe he just got confused.
The government giving up lying is like Charlie Sheen giving up transexuals.
"BREAKING NEWS: About 25 U.S. military personnel were in Bamako at the time of the hotel incident - U.S. defense official."
Were they there to finalise details of the terror attack with its perps?
Tyler: "So is the government just lying (as usual)?"
Yes, obviously, .gov always lie.
Panaetta is not in a position to know anything anymore. And he's sticking to that story until the next time he is asked.
A lot of gold in that country.French want to stay in control and don't want China getting it.
ZH just a clarification, Panetta is the former SECDEF.
The point of elections in this democracy is to select the politicians whose lies you enjoy hearing.
Ronald Reagan is the undisputed champ in that contest.
If you like your body bags you can keep your body bags.
Deep Gov doesn't inform the other gov (shall we call it shallow gov?) which therefore is in the inferior position to know anything important.
If you were in a position to act in a situation in which your training and tools would likely insure a good outcome, would you want others to be able to steal your thunder, since it was you that risked your life?
I thought not!
