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. I think they've got some oil. Do the Euros have claim to it? After all, our military is securing Libyan oil for the EU.  ::)

I can assure you that this does not sit well at all with true progressives.  In fact, he lost most of us with the Health Care Debacle.

Stunning, isn't it? How many threads did Neurotoxin start about Bush "the warmonger"? All the more reason to never take any of them seriously.
