In reply to the discussion: Obama: US Has Concluded That Syrian Government Carried Out Chemical Weapons Attack [View all]Martak Sarno
(77 posts)Isn't it just so curious that we're on the verge of getting out of Afghanistan (2014) as Obama promised a while back (was it 2012 or 2013...or whenever). But he never said we'd be out of a war, just out of Afghanistan. Looks like we're just shifting the chickenhawks playing field somewhat. More political semantics, eh?
So the Obots can say he kept at least one of his few "words/promises" about getting out of Afghanistan so we can now turn the Corporate Wehrmacht to Syria. Gotta keep those military and CEOs happy and in the black.
And about that "evidence"...the transparency of this administration has become even more opaque...almost like an iron curtain between the White House and the Public, no?
I just wonder how many more American soldiers will have to die to satisfy the killing lust of the current politicians. Bush/Cheney evidently could live with their deaths. Can Obama live with even more?
By the way, as far as the Libertarian/Democrat thing on DU goes, Keith Olbermann was on Craig Ferguson a couple weeks ago. Craig asked Keith if he were a Democrat. Olbermann replied that he is a Liberal not a Democrat.
I, too, feel the term Democrat no longer applies to me either as it once did; no longer stands for what it used to. I like the word Liberal as a more apt description. At least of how I feel.
