Awww, Come ON Folks!
Its ONLY just a little "limited" WAR.
Its just a few thousand dead Syrians, and ONLY for a little while.
The Republicans would take em ALL out.
The Great Compromiser only wants to meet them half way.

You "PURISTS" just have to ruin EVERYTHING with your inability to compromise. Disgusting!
