Code Pink: "We need Smart Senators, not Smart Bombs."

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/code-pink-heckles-john-mccains-war-talk-you-have-no-authority-on-this-issue/

snip:

Protesters from the group Code Pink repeatedly interrupted Senate hearings on military action the U.S. is taking against ISIS, an army of Islamic radicals in Iraq.

At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was thanking the committee for their support when Code Pink protester Medea Benjamin stood up with a large pink sign reading “More War = More Extremism.”

Unfortunately, the one percent's military industrial complex is designed to produce dumb senators and smart bombs. Not to mention astronomical profits.
