Fog of War

No BootsAmerica’s blood and treasure ready to be spent once again and for what? Preventing the carnage between Shia and Sunni? Settling centuries old animosities between tribal factions of which we know little? American interests are simply not at stake in Syria, and if our brave allies in the region insist on war, let them fight it. Alas, we are nevertheless plunging toward the precipice to save a failing President’s ‘credibility’ (of course, that requires believing that Great Britain now has no ‘credibility’ since they had the good sense to stay out of a conflict which they could not win). But back home, just where is the opposition party? Well, they are doing what they do best…listening to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Peter King. In other words, bailing out Obama and giving the voters one more reason not to vote Republican. This is a very sad-and dangerous-spectacle.
