WorldWar3: Priceless!
Breaking all the windows in the Middle East.
Winning!
The liquor store that cashed that check is going to be sooo pissed when it bounces.
American Taxpayers...LOL...All 5 of us?
Wouldn't it be funny if these fuckers turned down our checks and ask for "assistance" in gold and actual guns and ammo?
As a staunch liberal, I'm wondering why you guys are so mad?
Can't you all see the genius in all this? We give them $500 million...and then we TAX that $500 million and get like, at least $100 million back! Makes great sense to me. Let's give more money away and tax every dollar! Our government can really use that revenue, you know...
No. The military-industrial complex sells more weapons and makes money. The banks loan the government money and collect interest on money for the government to pay the military- industrial complex, and that includes Big Oil.
Every one (in the top .001% that is) is happy.
War is those that benefit sending those that pay to kill or be killed--a "racket" of blood.
An American, not US subject.
George W. Bush was right...

Obama declares war? Where are the bombings? The shock and awe? They have had over a month to prepare.
There is and will be no war. Its all just PR for the upcoming election.

Hmmmm...
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! You've discovered the secret of perpetual prosperity!
By the authority vested in me, I hereby grant you The Nobel Prize In Economics*.
Well hell yeah. The national debt can now be paid off by the end of the year.
Great work!
*Of course, as everyone knows, you don't really get a prize, because there is no such thing as the Nobel Prize in Economics. What Paul Krugman, the guys from Long Term Capital Management, and other unsavory characters received was the Sveriges Riksbank Nobel Economics Prizelike Participation Trophy, also known as the "Sveriges Riksbank Attempt to Purchase Legitimacy for the Economic 'Sciences' by Deceptively Associating Itself with the Nobel Prize" award.
ISIS/ISIL is not Islamic... It must be true, Obola said so!
//sarc off
I go back to what I said last night.
If...(as the nutters say)...ISIS is a zionist plot populated by CIA mercs (or some variation of plucked from the bosom of western multiculturist-EBT-progressivism) whats the problem with killing them? ;-)
.
No problem with that at all.
However, I would suggest a word to the wise, and I think you'll agree. Given the track record of utter failure of America's deranged child-kings in Vichy DC, it would be best if they just stayed out of it.
They'll never admit that they were wrong about Assad (or about anything else), so I don't expect them to help the Syrian government. That is actually good because, even if they did that, somehow they'd still end up making things worse.
The US just needs to stop interfering. With the success of Assad's amnesty program, many thousands of Syrians who had sided with the "moderate opposition" have surrendered. Of those, substantial numbers have then volunteered to fight on the side of the Syrian government. The "Syrian" opposition is really just a bunch of foreign rodents funded by wahhabi scum.
Best to just stay out of the way of the Syrian Arab Army and Syrian Arab Air Force and let them continue to exterminate the vermin.They've had more experience and success at it than anyone else.
Disemployed Americans? $0
Soon it will be disemboweled Americans.
I thought it was a "buy two wars in Iraq, get the third one free" type of thing.
Or the official government slogan...Why buy one when you can buy two for twice as much?
Yep it's all about spending
finding budget cuts is not their speciality.. Congress, the President, then the Super Committee couldn't find a single Cent amongst $billions
and you know Nancy Peloski-Trotski and Joe Biden tried their hearts out ...million Dollar taxi bills each of them.. we can't do without that for the socialist elite
What an idiotic strategy. Training and arming a bunch of weirdos and then not expecting them to turn on you? The next 9/11 atrocity will likely be courtesy of the Syrian rebels trained by USA blowing up USA. Are there no brains at all in Washington!?
Of course there are brains in Washington.
You just misunderstand what the goal is...
Down vote for the curiously generic comment that I would expect to find on Discus.
@ Stilletto,
And, that's exactly the Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC., CIA plan. Continue the bedlam Phoney War on Terror.
Remember the Psycopaths at PNAC's goal was a hundred year war to continue enriching themselves, the MIC, Military Contractors & Mercenaries all owned by the Banksters.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
disgusting
Oh of fucking course! M.I.C. to make out like bandits, again!
Meanwhile; young Men and Women put in harms way.
Yes, flying a jet over a combat zone is combat and can be dangerous.
How about you go along on a sortie or two Mr. Prez?
In the backseat of course.
......he might serve a more useful role as a mudflap on an aircraft carrier ....... just a thought.....
Holy Ebola!
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for someone to use ebola as a weapon. With video cams and NSA snooping everywhere, what easier way is there than ebola to anonymously bring a country to its knees?
Stilletto :What an idiotic strategy. Training and arming a bunch of weirdos and then not expecting them to turn on you?
You a young one? Shorty? Ever hear of

Backed by US taxdollars to defeat USSR. Unfortunately we could never figure out how to put the toothpaste back in the tube after that one.....
..... I don't think it was ever about putting the toothpaste back in the tube and the objectives were more than just bleeding the USSR - of course that was the main objective but there was also the underlying goal of heroin production as the western empire transitioned from the golden triangle to the golden crescent, which as always creates a golden horseshoe for TPTB
As Chupacabra just mentioned Rinse/Repeat; this narcotic meme has been around for a while now see also East India Trading Company; Opium Wars, Origins of Skull and Bones/Opium Trade; CIA, Iran-Contra ............. yadda yadda yadda.....
The punchline for the banksters ..... the same government whose drug money your are laundering fine you for laundering said drug money........ all in all a pitence to be sure but still the hypocrisy.
Why does he never talk from the Oval Office?
I think it would be a hoot if he spoke from the 19th hole. No need to get dressed up for a bunch of ragheads.
That would be great. Every day, a new presser from some pro shop. I bet Taylormade, Ping, Calloway, Cleveland would pay handsomely to have their logos redacted from the background.
"Why does he never talk from the Oval Office?"
Could it be because in this case, he DOES have a strategy and he's already looted the office furniture and art ahead of looting the rest of our country's wealth, rights and respect?
WHAT...a down vote! Pray tell why?
...... it might be full of Wookie eggs ....... and as you no doubt know you can't expose them to light.....
His wife kick him out of the house for (cock) smoking.

He laughs until he cries.
And then he dies -- then he dies.
Whoever is the next president of the United States.
The real tell: The Free Syrian Army has agreed to the deal provided they get paid in gold.
Never take a check demand gold oops we don't have that either. Do we have anything of value left to pay ISIS for doing the bidding of killing Assad. Wonder if Rutin Putin gonna do anything along with that pussy iatoilet Komani. This whole thing one big cluster fuck. I cant wait till the first bomb drops on Syria and Putin doesn't do shit about it then say hello to that pipeline and Europe will have their gas for winter. What a game being brought to you exclusively by the Obama roadshow comming to a country near you
They still have stuff to bomb left overthere?
pretty soon Syria will be just like home...Chicago!
Off to another fund raiser....then golf. The world is a scary place if you don't have full time security for the rest of your life.
So, the Great Black Father pulls money out of his ass for this war and everybody goes about their business with a ho-hum, what games are on this weekend, etc., etc...... So, the Great Black Father says, "We're taking 25% of your paychecks and reducing your EBT allotment by 25% to fund this war" and everybody marches on down to DC and burns the fucker down....It's not what you do, BUT how you SELL it and boy, can DC SELL it......
This smells suspiciously like paying half of the poor people to kill the other half... on a global scale.
USA has already lost its right to exist due to being the origin of most terrorism, human rights abuses , violence & bloodshed all over the world.(also include immorality i.e. Homo$exuality, porn, prostitution , legalizing drugs and many illegal activities funded by C-I-A)
Yes, the one big flaw in the Obama military policy "strategy" - he already spent all of the money (and then some) on social welfare.
