Am I Nostrodamus for calling this 75 days ago, or is the President just sickeningly predictable?

[Poll_Blind]

Guys, what the fuck is the pushback against tangling with Syria? The line. They crossed THE LINE.

The President said there was a line and then today the Whitehouse said the line had been crossed.

You can't argue with The Line!

The President? Hands are tied. Blame The Line.

The Line exists so we know when somebody crosses it.

For fuck's sake: If somebody crosses the line and you don't have A Line, then it's like you...shit...it's like the old times when everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off and chopping down wheat with sickles and playing giant harmonicas to pass the time.

If you don't have a line, what do you have? You have a bunch of people discussing and arguing about shit, that's what.

Do we want to return to those dark days?

Discussing the merits of military action while some grizzled asshole plays "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain" on a harmonica the size of your goddamned leg?

Really?

I didn't think so. So it's settled. End of discussion.

If you feel compelled to discuss something with your filthy bored mouths, discuss who we're going to toss the no-bid school building contracts to. We need to get those ducks lined up in a row because if we don't have those plans down, something might fuck up after we win and ruin it.

No, your Summer War this year is with Syria. Did you have some better war in mind? No? Oh color me surprised! If you don't have a better country to attack maybe you should just sit down, clam up and go back to browsing Pinterest, howsaboutthat?

Your Summer War This Year Is Syria. Hope you picked out a good outfit, the party's starting soon! Welcome to "Depressingly-Predictable Foreign Policy".

It's not just for Repukes, anymore.

1. Predictable. Sickeningly. n/t

[railsback]

2. The only think predictable was the impending outrage

i.e. We are humanitarians… but its an exclusive club. F*ck the Syrians.

3. You may be Nostrodamus

More predictions please!

4. Having neocons in high positions in an administration has a way of getting outcomes

to the liking of neocons/Repukes.

5. Predictable

Our foreign policy still appears to be largely neocon. Consult the think tank plan for the Project for a New American Century. The intended outcome is, predictably, to install a new government in Syria "sympathetic" to America Inc.'s interests in the middle east - whatever the hell that might mean these days.

I'm sure the public isn't in the loop and Obama's so-called pondering the attack probably has a hectic schedule of promises, threats and deal making attached to it.

The neocons aren't exactly batting a thousand so far and they're desperate for leverage. Problem is, most of the world knows why they have to roll out this new "Syrian War" product campaign and get in there now under any pretext.

I don't think many people or countries are buying it any more.

We can't afford any kind of safety net for the millions of Americans falling into poverty but somehow there's potentially hundreds of billions available for more war.

that red line. We should have all seen this coming.
