Maher Tears Into Panel Over Syria...



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-tears-into-panel-over-syria-intervention-foreign-policy-cant-be-do-what-we-want-or-we-bomb-you/

Bill Maher bemoaned the increasingly likely intervention into Syria on Friday night, especially so recently after Obama’s speech about the drawdown of the War on Terror. “Can’t we just sit one of (the wars) out?” he asked. “Does every time the bat signal go off, we have to answer it?”

Republicans have lost FOUR out of the last six presidential elections, not FIVE. Unless, of course Alter is viewing 2000 as a SCOTUS "selection" rather than an "election".
