I don't know but determining that is what separates the great presidents from the shitty presidents.  It's just like determining which is responsible for more murders,  Ted Bundy or Charles Mason.  Because the one with the most murders is shitty and the other one is great.

It's like a recurrent nightmare.

The chemical attack does not pass the smell test.

The UN inspectors had just arrived in country, and the regime was doing well in and around Damascus.

Who would benefit from an attack there and now?

Only the rebels.

Kerry's remarks were a joke.

Watch the social media?

Really???

This is what passes for proof now?

The corporate media is again falling into line parroting the OBAMA administration's propaganda.

Congress is again abdicating its responsibilities.

The somnolent masses are outraged only by Miley Cyrus.

There will be no mass protest to this indefensible waste of national blood and treasure.

All this despite the fact that there is no evidence that the government is responsible for the chemical weapons attack, and we have no compelling reason to attack Syria.

The whole thing is just depressing as hell, and the only explanation I can find for any of it is the omnipotence of the MIC.

The day after President Bob took office he would fly to the studios of Al Jazeera (and fly coach,  not in that battleship with wings).

And he would deliver this message to the entire world.

"Hey dickwads,  listen up and listen good because I'm only gonna say this one time.  
Starting tomorrow,  I am assembling the best minds of science and technology and business and every other of the best brains we have in my country.  And we WILL find a way to quit our addiction to raghead oil.  And we will do it before my term of office is completed.  We're gonna do it for the same reason Kennedy said we were going to the moon.  Not because it's easy,  but because it's hard.
And today I'm withdrawing every last personnel and asset my predecesor governments have squandered on the middle east.   I'm leaving you backwards ignorant religion fanatics to your own devices.  
BUT, at the same time I'm establishing the Gort Doctrine.

I came here to give you the facts. It is no concern of mine how you run your own countries,  but if you threaten to extend your violence to my country, this region of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.

Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace. Or pursue your present course -- and face obliteration. I will be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you."

God help us.  I'd probably be drafted,  cancer, geezer and all.

Yeah. You know those damn right-wing warmongers would have carpet bombed at least five or more countries by now and be looking to get us into a shooting war with Syria.

Thank God with have our Noble Peace Prize winner to bridge the gap and bring about the...

Why would that shut me up, dingbat?

Let me spell it out for you ...

I am against our intervention in the Syrian conflict ...

I am against the expansion and the scope of the Obama administration's drone program ...

I was against the surge in Afghanistan ...

I was against the invasion of Iraq ...

See, I'm against these military adventures regardless of which party's wrassler (as Bob puts it) is in office.

Now, are you for our military intervention in Syria, or are you just a hypocrite?

You have a good point.  But if he was Romney we'd be boots on the ground in the entire mid-east, excepting, of course, those countries run by dictators who sell us oil.

Did you listen to Romney's campaign promises to increase our military forces and use them aggressively to achieve our foreign goals?

So, we cancel Assad's air power and his ability to deliver WMD, he's forced out, and Al Quaida and the other insane Islamic Fundamentalists take over.

Great.  We're managing the same program for Egypt and Libya and Afghanistan too.  Toss in Pakistan whose on the same path ...


Whoopie.  Our MIC gorges.
