One quote in the article I disagree with: “No one in the US wants this except the Military-Industrial complex.”

I don’t think the military wants this, either. They have no choice but to present action plans to their CIC when asked. They can also present assessments, but Barack and his cabal look like they are ignoring them. That’s consistent with Dempsey declining to answer the question of what we expected to accomplish, deferring to Kerry, in his testimony before the Senate Committee.

It wont be glorious and I predict he will actually use his race card to get us into a war to save his own ego

thanks to our spineless gutless US Congress and the corrupt venal Senate

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, in mum.

Classic Mitch McConnell. He will wait until the issue is decided before taking a position that allows him to claim conservatism. As always. A leader would take a position and rally others to him.

Even if the citizens all turn off their watch boxes, the lamestream media will describe his teleprompter speech as inspiring and persuasive

Our media promoting the cult of personality has become North Korea

Bammy’s going to be in office for no more than three more years

I wouldn’t bet on that. He’s clearly practicing and experimenting with tactics to create crises and a sense of urgency about every perceived problem. Syria is just a dry run. And there will be even more manufacturered crises — if he gets away with this.

IMO, Zero is probably out spreading the cash as he did for Obamacare support. Remember Nelson from Nebraska and Landreiu from Louisiana. They were the last 2 support votes for Obamacare.

The president has done a pretty good job of selling his plan to congressional leaders.
********

He didn’t have to sell it to Boehner. He already has him in his back pocket.

McCarthy’s phone took a little searching (at least for me!). He’s the Majority Whip so its worth leaving a message on his voice mail: (202) 225-0197

In the history of this republic, foreign and domestic policy has never been so effed up. FUBO. FUCONgress. FUUSSC. FUFED. FUIRS. FUNSA.

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

My reps are all Dems but I called anyway. I have to assume that lots of libs must be calling them as well since according to polls, even some of them are not comfortable with this ill-conceived adventure.

Letters to edictor in Jacksonville this AM were 10 to 2 against. One of the pro letters looks like it was written by democrat party HQ comparing it to outright genocide...I guess they are a bit slow on using words in proper context.

Why is it that the military must obey their boss, the Commander-in-Chief, but yet he doesn’t have to obey his boss — the American people, an overwhelming percentage of which don’t want to do this?

Excellent. We must keep the pressure on our reps. Especially the flakey Republicans who are the most prone to caving in! :)

I write mine every other day...got back a response from my pro bonehead guy who gave some wishy washy non committal response which means he is in favor of it IMO. I wrote back that if he support it so much, he along with Bonehead and his excellency need to be in the first wave to get some idea of how things are going from the front. No answer to that one.

Great link to send to McLame, Kerry, Schumer Rangle, Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Boner the Eunuch, Collins, Bera, Cantor, Linda Graham, et al. All the gutless Elitist waste.

Yep, the doors to the Candy Store are wide open. You’re so very right; that’s exactly how Washington works. A little “grease” on the wheels to get where you want to go.

Hey nooby, this article is not about amnesty, there are many threads about amnesty. Find one and post on those, but don’t hijack my thread and change the subject. Also if you had a clue you would realize it is not so much about the illegals we have to worry but the terrorists that want to kill us, who sneak in through the tunnels with the illegals from Mexico
