We don't need more war. Every time we get into one it turns into a massive clusterfuck.

Obama hasn't even wrapped up Afghanistan, a war which was already way too long in the tooth when he took over. Doesn't look like he's going to, either.

Libya is an indescribably huge mess, which we invaded and destroyed why exactly? Because chaos and civil war is better for us than Gadafi was?

So today we're all asking why the fuck are we in Afghanistan, why the fuck did we go into Libya, wtf is going on in Iraq and Yemen, and so on and so forth down the line of the failures of the "Global War on Terror", and we really should be asking what positive outcome, if any, can reasonably be expected from handing open-ended global war authorization to the next President who is at this time more likely than not to be a warmonger on behalf of the 1%ers.
