Kucinich: Striking Syria Will Make U.S. Military ‘Al-Qaeda’s Air Force’
national review ^ | August 27, 2013 | Sterling Beard

... “So what, we’re about to become al-Qaeda’s air force now?” Kucinich sarcastically asked The Hill.

He went on to warn against attempting to “minimize” an intervention by terming it a “targeted strike.” Such a strike, he said, would still constitute an act of war.

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 find myself agreeing with Kucinich and Gingrich in the same day.

And Bill Maher too.

Bill Maher On Syria: "We're Basically Arming Al Qaeda"

Well, when they're right, I'm not going to say they're wrong.

Me neither.

Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi was right: "Great powers should never get involved in the politics of small tribes" Arab-Israeli peace or democracy in Iraq...WE cannot want it more than they do.

I wonder if Code Pink would be interested in this particular war? They don't seem to mind Afghanistan, or the little war in the Arabian Peninsula.

Maybe they might take a liking to this one?

I crack me up...

I hate to agree with Dennis the Menace but for the first time in his life he is correct.

This one has the potential for dems to want to impeach Obunga.

Prayers for obama? That worthless pile of excrement answers to satan.

It is useless to pray for something so inherently evil.

Kucinich is pretty conservative on abortion too. He was raked over the coals on it by liberals and that is one reason he never got traction in the primaries.

He looks goofy but he can pull in Reagan Democrat votes. His district was not a college town.

We were the Kosovo Air Force in 1999...

and the Bosnian Air Force in 1995...

and the Saudi Air Force in 1991...

Anyone see a pattern here?
