So, TPM, you didnât bother to note what those âother optionsâ were? Or if Rogers didnât offer them, you didnât think that was an important detail to add?
If youâd watched This Week youâd know the answer, and it is NO.

âAnd so the reason they avoided Congress, this isnât about we didnât get
invited to the party, so we shouldnât have our feelings hurt. It is
because we can empower all of the people â diplomats â who disagreed
with this decision, intelligence folks who disagreed with this decision,
military folks,â he continued.
Translation: âWe didnât get a chance to be obstreperous and intractable and throw a monkey wrench into the exchange deal with manufactured controversy and fauxtrage.â

âThe administration has this theory that youâre either with them or youâre for thermonuclear war and thereâs not in between.â
Amazing that he couldnât work a Nazi reference in there somehow, they must be running low on them.

Mr. Rogers may think heâs a mindreader, but the rest of us know weâre not, so if weâre reluctant to venture a guess as to what options he referred to, in the absence of his proffering them, can we be blamed for not doing his work for him?
Heâs paid the big bucks to represent constituents, not the other way around.

Thatâs a really extreme false dichotomy isnât it? Thermonuclear war? Rogers also assumes that Obama needed Congressâs approval anyway. Itâs well established that the administration has been consulting with congress for some time, since 2011, IIRC.

Everyone knows theyâre not for thermonuclear war where their own cowardly candy asses might get burned. Theyâre only for wars where the children of other people do the killing and dying for corporate profit.

âHostages are now currency in this war on terror. Thatâs always dangerous for both diplomats, aide workers, soldiers on the battlefield,â he said.
Two of our biggest problems are the poisonous right wing talk radio crowd being promoted to elected office in the GOP and the pandering of other, elected back bench idiots for promotion to talk show status.

I had just finished reading the Politico piece and my first reaction was, of course, heâs rehearsing his snappy patter beginning with thermonuclear war. By the way, it was Cumulus that engineered the boycott of the Dixie Chicks and the end of their careers after one of them said she was ashamed of dubya. Another guy finding a big teat.

Apparently Rogers et al have been obstructing a deal for years. All they got is diplomatic vaporware.

Well Mr Rogers, when Republican opinion makers measure their views against the Fox News opinion cauldron which vilifies and condemns any republican who would dare to take a moderate view on any subject can you really say that the administration is wrong in their analysis?

You know why he didnât inform you Mr. Congressman? Because he doesnât trust a single one of you to put nation and/or our troops before politics. Nor should he.

No congressman,itâs because the President is tired of dealing with âknuckle draggersâ.

In case this dimwit has missed it, his party (since 1980) is convinced that youâre with it or youâre a traitorous, socialistic, atheistic, so and so (or one of âthose peopleâ).
