According the Washington Post, “President Obama is weighing a military strike against Syria…”
Over a decade ago, then Senator John Kerry supported the effort to invade Iraq over WMD’s. The next decade was democrat pundit after pundit decrying the prolonged war in the Middle East-even Kerry claimed that Bush had mismanaged the new conflict. As Saddam died, so did the anti-war left. Yet, the war raged on.
Now Secretary of State Kerry has found a new pie for his warmongering thumb: Syria. Syrian President Hassad has also been on our President’s radar for some time, perhaps even back to his Nobel Peace Prize days, by calling for his resignation, freezing all assets of the Syrian government subject to U.S. jurisdiction and prohibiting Americans from engaging in any transaction involving thegovernment.
The talking points have shifted from, “Saddam has WMDs” to “Assad has WMDs.” These acts of war are now going be justified, along with new crimes, by another WMD conversation. But that makes perfect sense right? These tyrants might hurt innocent people. That is unacceptable, we will send in some cruise missiles to ensure that if anyone gets hurt, it will be on our un-stainable American “freedom fighting” hands.

The mindlessness of this age is taxing as it allows the same worn out arguments to be used over and over. The faces change but the theatrics remain the same.
