[B]The Mount Suribachi Photo and WWII[/B]
For the past few days, the American media has been making a lot of fuss about the famous photograph of the U.S. soldiers planting an American flag on Mount Suribachi, on the island of Iwo Jima, during WWII. That photo was taken on Feb. 23, 1945, and admittedly it is a great photo. It suggests heroism and glory and so forth. It symbolizes winning a fight against long odds. It symbolizes freedom and valor.
But it's too bad that the media didn't bother to tell the public the real reason why American soldiers fought on Iwo Jima.
The truth of the matter is that America should never have fought a war with Japan at all. Oh, sure, Japan attacked America in December 1941. But why did Japan attack us? The answer is that U.S. president F .D. Roosevelt, a communist sympathizer who is on record as saying that some of his best friends were communists [1], began economic sanctions against Japan as early as 1938. Those sanctions prevented Japan from getting vital resources, such as oil. Japan is an island, and as a result had to import nearly everything, and Roosevelt and his Jewish advisors knew that very well. They knew that those sanctions would greatly harm Japan. (FDR also failed to sign a sensible anti-communist treaty with Japan in that era, and at the same time he continued his warm relationship with the murderous, communist Soviet Union).
Why did Roosevelt impose sanctions on Japan? For at least two reasons: 1) he wanted to fight Germany, but he couldn't declare war without a reason. He needed a "back door" into WWII [2]; 2) Japan had the colossal nerve to oppose American demands regarding the Far East. (the fact that America had no business telling Japan what to do in that region was apparently beside the point according to FDR).[3]
Sure, a clever history buff might argue, 'but Japan attacked a U.S. gunboat in China, the USS[I] Panay[/I], in 1937. They started the fight between America and Japan.' But that's a trivial matter because America had no business being in China in the first place. In fact, it is America's habit of meddling in almost every country on earth that caused so much conflict during the 20th century. But don't wait for the Jewish media to tell you that [4]. (speaking of meddling, in the Spring of 1941, long before Pearl Harbor, FDR planned to use the Flying Tigers air squadron against Japanese troops in the Far East, which was a planned act of war no matter how you spin it. In fact, one could say that with the Flying Tigers plan, America literally set the stage for war with Japan. In other words, due to American actions, even if the Pearl Harbor attack had never occurred, America still would have ended up in a war with Japan, in all probability).

Some photos of that event, and the landings at Iwo Jima

By pure fluke the flag-raising was captured on film from two different angles simultaneously (the photo, and a still frame from a military film), so it's possible to view the scene stereoscopically:

I don't want to believe that the US has been such a warmongering nation for such a long time but it looks like that's the case.
"REMEMBER THE MAINE"??????? The reason as to why the US declared war on Cuba? it was found out later that it was an inplosion (from the inside) and yet the US keep it a secret for the longest of time.
As you all know it was the plan of the US government to, once again, declare war on Cuba by making a make believe attack on the Guantanamo base and saying that it was the Cubans, I wonder how many Americans troops would have been killed?.
Makes me wonder about 9/11.

Too bad it is fake... Wasn't the photograph staged after the fighting was over? I don't remember the details.

It was staged Faust and you can read about it in the article, the original photo shows the Americans in a circle looing up at the flag which is already standing up.
For the second (the fake one and more popular) photo they choose a bigger flag and it was staged and taken by a second photographer.
PS: I believe that 3 of them did get the CMH.
