WHAT THE HOLY FUCK IS WRONG WITH DU???


We elected Obama, and he/his cabinet is NOT at all like Bush/Cheney and their cabal. They actually got elected PLANNING to invade Iraq. They looked the other way while Al Qaeda planned to attack us just so they could have their war.


Good people don't want war. That doesn't change the fact that it's a monumental mistake by America and the world to let a chemical weapon attack go unanswered. Chemical weapons like sarin can not be targeted narrowly enough to allow them in to wars; they are as likely, strike that, more likely to kill civilians, children, housepets, as they are to kill combatants.
