Another GOP president.
More death.
Mission accomplished.
No, this was done in the âvital interestsâ of propping up his âAdministrationâ and his popularity ratings. Note how his enablers in Congress are in unanimous support of this clearly illegal military action. What U.S. territory was involved? How many U.S. citizens were threatened directly? One can only imagine the GOP reaction if President Obama had done the same thing. The hypocrisy is stunning, once again.
If this moron was the least bit honest, heâd say it was prompted by humanitarian interests to protect innocent civilians and this was paybackâŚbut instead he went with the old standby about this being in our âvital national security interestâ, which truth be toldâŚit really is not. Syria does not pose any vital or imminent threat to this countryâŚand every fucking general, the entire military industrial complex, and all those bullshit pundits and journalists on TV this morning praising this one-off action ought to know this. Period.
So againâŚNow what?
this will not end well
And effectively ignoring that this shit has been going on for 10 years with 500,000 dead, Hospitals and schools bombed , sections of the country reduced to dust.
All this while the world, Syriaâs neighbors Russia et al stood around whistling and twiddling their thumbs
âTrump: Syria Missile Strikes In âVital National Security Interestâ Of USâ
Just watching some of the early morning spin on this,Trump supporters are using the word compassion a lot for the pictures that were seen after this horrible incident.What I canât seem to get out of my head is the medical benefits that our seniors .womans health care and children would be thrown off of the ACA and the GOP didnât show any compassion there. I could be mixing apples and oranges.
Yep !
âAlthough Congressional leaders hailed his decision to seek the permission of lawmakers who had been clamoring for a say, the turnabout leaves Mr. Obama at the political mercy of House Republicans, many of whom have opposed him at every turn and have already suggested that Syriaâs civil war does not pose a threat to the United States. His decision raises the possibility that he would be the first president in modern times to lose a vote on the use of force, much as Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain did in Parliament last week.â
The looming scandal of his presidential campaignâs treasonous collusion caused him to feel compassion and to reverse his position on Syria as documented in a stream of Tweets. This is Wag The Dog on the Russia Scandal with a military action that has no ultimate long term effect on the conflict in Syria, for which he and his increasingly obvious incompetent Secretary of State have no simple solution. Wag the Dog, Donnie.
Have you tuned into any of the bobblehead TV shows this morning? I wish I hadnât. Theyâre all pretending like Obama never tried this same tactâŚto no avail, with very little, if no support overall in Congress, and with nothing but constant criticism in the press, that his actions were either too much without any tangible results, or too little with problems growing out of control nonetheless. It was never enough in either direction. But somehow this morningâŚall that has changedâŚbecause the Fruitcake-in-Chiefâs heart was touched by âthe babiesâ suddenly after 6 years of constant oppressionâŚand because he saw it on TV for the first fucking time in his life, I guess.
The level of disingenuousness and phoniness is beyond ridiculous since these same reporters/pundits that have gotten on these shows, are managing to go out of their way to avoid any context to what Obama actually tried to do, and how little the Congress was willing to help him deal with the problems in Syria as a growing humanitarian crisis. It really is like watching theater of the absurd this morning.
âHave you tuned into any of the bobblehead TV shows this morning? I wish I hadnâtâ TOUCHE !
Raise your pant legs and hold your noses this week end you know whats coming.
This stinks to high heaven,
I am not convinced âThere can be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weaponsâ
It makes no sense that Assad would launch a gas attack on some little burg when he has plenty of âconventionalâ weapons, knowing how freaked out world opinion would be.
And of course the blatant GOP hypocrisy is just part of the fabric now with their previous positions totally shoved down the memory hole.
I donât know what worries me moreâŚThat these same reporters will treat this story like a one or two day thing because like everything else, its all about the news cycle and its actually more like click-bait for their ratings (war sells)âŚor that theyâll stay focused on it entirely, heaping praise for this action, because it puts the entire wing of military pundits back in those seats for interviews, and because theyâve been waiting with anticipation long enough while those retainers donât come cheap, as they idly standby letting them go to waste.
Plus, anything to change the subject from Russia interfering in our elections, and how mentally unstable the US Presidency is right now, seems to be in the works at some level. Pretty soon Congress will be on recessâŚand the holidays are coming up. This will stay in the news only if he buys them ratings I suspectâŚbut to be honest, I donât think most Americans overall are for military intervention in Syria, no matter how hard they try to sell it, or commend The Real Estate Business Guy that retreats to Mar-a-Lago to go golfing every weekend.
War is the birthplace of cheap glory,
Trump should fit right in.
Vainglory on the part of their commanders, in chief or in general, has bloodied many young soldiers needlessly.
And that same vain, cheap glory of war has also murdered milions of innocents in its profane course to personal agrandizement.
Putin wants WAR to burn up all that oil⌠every day of conflict makes him that much richer and puts him that much closer to reaping the deadly harvest of fossil fuel buried in eastern Siberia.
ALL his efforts in the middle east have been to subsume the worldâs oil market control OPEC once commanded.
Trump wants to be a war president worseâ,n W did.
And Putin wants desperately to be the first oil trillionaire.
They both may get their wish, and then they will live to regret every moment of it.
Guaranteed.
What kills me is the morning bobble heads are saying we finally have a leader showing American strength.
What happened to America First.
âStupidityâ and âstrengthâ are comically interchangeable in the Trump era.
Gassed dead âbeautifulâ Syrian babies: inhumane evil.
Bombed dead Syrian babies: regrettable âcollateral damageâ.
Immigrant live Syrian babies: little Trojan horses.
That does seem to be the most common thread from the false equivicatorsâŚ
Funny how they want to blame Obama for Assad, but no one mentions it was Putin who empowered Assad inthe first place.
So, who are the allies and who are the adversaries?
I donât think Trump and Tillerson really know. Thye are just looking at all that Siberian oil for future war-machne consumption, they donât ponder the human implications until babies die in torment.
And then they blame our last great President for it.
Shame on them, and much more, if they continue.
i woke up today even more angrier than usual but surprisingly not at the puppet.
but at hillary clinton and the DNC for not beating the most unqualified human on the planet to be president.
yeaâŚi know that ship has sailed and i know how much easier it is to just fool ones self with hopeful comments that are meant to get nothing more than an internet high 5.
butâŚwho is going to stop this madness and why shouldnât we look back the last 8 years or so and put the blame DIRECTLY where it belongs?
the puppet has discovered what i have repeatedly warned againstâŚhe can bolster his need to âfeel a winââŚjust by bombing people!
how nice to know we can anticipate more and more aggression and military solutions in place of diplomacy which would require actual knowledge of WHY you result to launching bombs instead of other non-BOMBING solutions.
lets hope we see congress put the breaks on to his madness but the senate is in the process of putting a judge on the SC by destroying the one thing that made it uniqueâŚso much for congress.
how many democrats are going to remain silent or because they know the American people LOVE a good bombing will just become cheer-leaders for the puppet and applaud the revival of his approval ratings which then give him the leverage to call them names even while they are crossing the aisle to gush at his ever increasingly great legislation!
SO MUCH for the democrats!
hey!.. maybe i just had a bad nightmare and i am just reacting to thatâŚlets see how this day goes
