That's the far-left motto.

Will we bomb Syria, Yemen or Bahrain next? They've been lighting up their protesters.

Not sure. But I know Syria is an Islamic supremacist terrorist state so that rules them out. Bahrain is buddies with Saudi Arabia but Obama's thrown that alliance to the wind. Yemen is Yemen.
