The quick pivot says, "Oh, there's an opportunity. Perhaps it will work. Nothing else has."
Smart would be, "Okay, I've set this up so it looks like I'll fail, and now I'll have this all set up behind the scenes so it'll look really, really effortlessly clever."
Rising polls again, the hell-bent push for authorization for a strike ... Not clever.
This is "I want to believe." Like the friend who was nearly in an accident and prayed to be protected ... She closed her eyes to pray so she missed what actually happened, but was convinced that God made the two vehicles pass smack-dab through each other. It was a miracle. Nothing else could account for it, there was no way the vehicles could miss each other.
The loud honk and swerving to avoid the other car that she admitted to played no role. His swerving to avoid her played no role. Nope. The cars passed through each other. Some skeptics might say the only real result of her closed-eyes prayer was to guarantee that she ran off the road, with a divinely sanctioned concussion and stitches required. Plus a towing and a repair bill. Such skeptics, of course, should seek psychological services at once for doubting, being the devil's sock puppets.

(36,974 posts)For you to say that I was 'howling for blood' or that I said anything about the need to kill Syrians is ridiculous and disgusting
I have NEVER called anyone a hater or an extreme-left nutjob or any of the other things you mentioned.
Please stop your disgusting false accusations.
