Lindsay Graham wants "points on the board" by invading Venezuala

[Cyrano]

His idea is that by invading Venezuala, we will convince Iran and North Korea that were not playing fuck around anymore.

I've got a different idea, Lindsay. How about we bomb the shit out of your home state, South Carolina? That would really show them how serious we are. Whadda' you think Lindsay? Would that put enough "points on the board?" It would also prove that we're willing to put "skin in the game."

1. Seems to me that was partly the rationale

behind invading Iraq (according to Tom Friedman). Throw our weight around and remind 'em how tough we are. Worked great too

....oh, wait

2. We never did find all those WMDs

4. That was a sales pitch

not the reason. Get control of the oil, justify our obscene defense spending, enrich the war profiteers and fellow travelers, etc.

I'm sure we all knew it was BS, but they didn't care.
