sweet. RIP King Kirby.
will the Sun ever set on US interventionism (such a polite expression for making death)?
Are there any significant segments of the globe that dont have our fresh bloody fingerprints on it?
What sort of measures would the US military take to control Party policy?
up and down the pyramid of the Democratic Party, what sort of interactions do you think our military/intelligence
chooses to have with various strata? Elected officials, party players etc?
kickbacks? blackmail? security perks? contracts?
absolute control?
we already know how they do the hoi polloi.
I suppose they can be trusted to turn themselves loose on the world,
when they feel its appropriate.
Obama expands war on terror

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced a broader war against the Islamic State, pledging a U.S.-led coalition to destroy the militants "wherever they exist" as he escalated U.S. involvement in an armed conflict he spent years trying to avoid.
He authorized airstrikes inside Syria, though he did not detail his plans in his speech to the nation. He renewed a quest to arm and train Syrian rebels. He escalated the mission of existing U.S. airstrikes inside Iraq, dispatched more troops there, and pledged new aid to allies in the region.
"With a new Iraqi government in place, and following consultations with allies abroad and Congress at home, I can announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat," he said from the White House.
"Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy," Obama said of the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS.

How big a box should we keep FREE SPEECH in?
seems like the first amendment is our favorite freedom to toss out for the silliest, made up excuses.
Isnt that true?
are there other rights and freedoms we would prefer to abolish/ignore first?
