Kucinich: Striking Syria Will Make U.S. Military ‘Al-Qaeda’s Air Force’

Kucinich also blasted the Obama administration for “rushing” into what he said could become a third world war, and he cast doubt on reports by rebels of governmental forces using chemical weapons. He declared that the use of chemical weapons in Syria was a “pretext.”

“The verdict is in before the facts have been gathered,” Kucinich said. “What does that tell you?”

I’m with you on Kosovo and Bosnia. But the Gulf War is a bit of a stretch, IMO.

The Saudis (and Kuwaitis) needed someone to go up against Saddam to keep him from occupying their country. Ergo, we became their (defacto) Air Force.

Not denying there were plenty of other tasks accomplished!

But wait. They can have an intervention. Just have a bunch of Assad’s close pals sit down and confront him with his sad addiction to power, and explain how they care about him, but the war crimes will have to stop. Then he’ll resign, and the MB will take over Syria, and everything will be donkey-hoary.
