My fremdschämen explodes at “la petite cacahuète,” Nikki.
Seriously, she’s an embarassment. Is this the best we can offer?
Telegraphing our intentions, yet again…
I thought Dotard was against that?
Better watch out Russia, she’s giving you the stink-eye…
“When our President draws a red line, our President enforces a red line,” said Haley.
With adequate notification, of course.
Sorry Nimrata, you can play John Bolton all day, but you won’t be the first female president of the US.
“Locked and loaded?” Don’t tell me—“we’ll be back” to say “do you feel lucky? Well do ya punk?” And then we’ll blow something up and say “hasta la vista baby” because our government is apparently run by a pack of 13 year old degenerates.
That’s exactly how I feel every time I hear her. Wasn’t she supposed to be some kind of smart female politician with a promising future? She sounds childish, over her head and completely unconvincing. A perfect partner for Trump, I guess.
“Locked and loaded” is not foreign policy speach, war speach or even threatening speach. Rather, it is speach only for domestic American political consumption. That is the attack and the continued tough talk makes no difference to what is happening in Syria nor does it represent any serious deterrent to Russia, Iran or Assad. Its only possible influence is on American politics. I am not saying this was done to detract from other issues. I am saying this was done to avoid real action on this issue and allow a tin man to pound his chest.
Nikki Haley is to Trump as Grover Dill is to Scut Farkas.
OT
I could not agree more that Assad’s use of chemical weapons to kill and maim his own country’s men, women, and children is horrific! But in terms of scale and magnitude the carnage resulting from such attacks pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands killed and maimed by conventional bombs, artillery, and other weapons, not to mention the millions of Syrians forced into refugee camps as a result of the ongoing assault by Assad and his Russian and Iranian allies. And yet, our fake-president revels in the one time shot of a half-billion dollar’s worth of cruise missiles in response to the chemical attacks, but completely ignores the much more severe consequences of the daily carnage wreaked down on his own people by the dictator Assad.
I won’t pretend to have an answer to all this, but somehow patting ourselves on the back for a distant, flash-in-the-pan response while the killing over years goes on unabated seems unseemly at best and downright crazy in the absurdity of it all.
I was celebrating this with other commenters over on another site. Looks like the Trump-Pence anti-LGBT mission wasn’t accomplished.
Is this the “sustained” attack on Syria that Bonespurs promised until all its chemical weapons are gone?
I seem to be experiencing déjà vu. I’m positive I’ve heard this “tough talk” before.
“Wag the Dog,” indeed.
President Trump reportedly cast a wide net in seeking advice on a military strike in Syria, including from the legal counsel defending him in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election
Yeah, when I heard that, I cringed. I wonder what the professional adults in the room thought when they heard that phrase — they probably wept.
How do we know that Syria used chemical weapons on its own people? Did we rely upon the same intelligence agencies Trump has been telling us we shouldn’t believe?
Haley said she had spoken to President Donald Trump, who
told her: “If Vlad wants to use use poisonous gas again,
to distract from my dumbshit problems, the United States
is locked and loaded to make our fake outrade look legit."
Assad and Syria’s people are nothing more than props in this debacle …
part of Vladdy’s grand scam —
“When our President draws a red line, our President enforces a red line,” said Haley.

Channeling her inner Clint Eastwood?! Is this the best we’ve got, is right. In spades.
