War with Syria

    John McCain and Pres. Obama are now bosom buddies!

    What suddenly brings them together? War!

    Pres. Obama is normally not a war monger, but he has gotten a severe push from John Kerry, his new Secretary. of State.  Since Obama needs to keep his team together, he doesn't want to squelch Kerry, and he previously placed himself in a box on his "red line" statement  concerning chemical weapons, he is going along with the war fad.

    Senator McCain is a war monger from day one. He comes from  previous 2 generations of military officers. He was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War.

    McCain and Obama are now jointly beating the war drum to obtain a positive "war with Syria" vote from Congress. The wishes of the American public on the matter be damned.

    We also suddenly hear that House Speaker John Boehner has joined the war group, which rather surprises me. Boehner has previously done a few things, which has shaken my confidence in his judgment, but this is the last straw. I can only regard him now as stupid.

    For those who may not have been following the situation, but have heard of the Syrian conflict, let's remember that Americans have no "dog in that fight" and should not be participating in any form.
