I promise you, if a Republican is elected in 2012, we will have yet another war in 2013.

9. War is no-lose for TPTB
1) distractions from their class warfare
2) weapons sales
3) tighter security state
4) get rid of excess population
5) misc reasons

I'm actually surprised we're only in 6 wars right now. With the current state of the world/environment/economy, I would've thought we'd be in 33 1/3 wars by now.

11. I have a modest "option" for Lindsey Graham to "consider:"
If any military action against Pakistan is undertaken for any reason other than a dire direct threat to the USA,
then the first invader wearing a US uniform should be none other than Lindsey Graham.

Whatcha say there, Lindsey? Still think it's such a great option?

12. We started creating this enemy....
back during the Rambo Ronnie presidency. ALL they thought about was revenge for Viet Nam. We built them up to take down the Soviet "Empire". Now the GOP says "fight them". I know it sounds silly and whiney but I really wish Americans would start looking at the governments foreign policy decision-making.
