War Gods Angry!

As we’ve noted in previous pieces, the war gods are strong in America. And they don’t particularly like being told “no.”

Accordingly, top GOP military-industrial complex servants John McCain and Lindsey Graham are a bit miffed that their erstwhile interventionist ally, U.S. President Barack Obama, is now seeking a “diplomatic solution” to the wholly manufactured Syrian crisis.

Having been told in no uncertain terms that the American people do not support intervening in the Syrian civil war absent a compelling national interest (which does not exist), Obama has decided to grasp at a Russian proposal which would ostensibly address the cache of chemical weapons held by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.

In fact that screeching sound you hear is Obama’s armor-plated SUV racing as fast and as far away as it possibly can from a congressional vote authorizing his Syrian aggression. And with good reason … Obama was going to lose the Syrian military authorization vote. Badly.

But retreat has its consequences … and we’re not just talking about the goat show our leaders are currently putting on for the rest of the world to see.

McCain is already referring to the Russian proposal embraced by Obama as “a game of rope-a-dope.” Meanwhile Graham joined McCain in stating Obama should have offered a “clearer plan to test the seriousness” of the Russian plan.

In other words, the warmonger coalition backed by the fourteen percent of America that “strongly supports” military action against Syria is splitting apart … which we think is nothing short of poetic.

The government’s military-industrial complex thought it could follow the same old interventionist playbook: Fabricating intelligence, manufacturing outrage, strong-arming our “allies” and bypassing Congress en route to the senseless waste of American money and lives.

Except it didn’t work this time …

Now they get to fight amongst themselves.

“McCain is already referring to the Russian proposal embraced by Obama as “a game of rope-a-dope.”

Ironic, this is the same game McCain played with Senator Graham a few years back. At that time McCain called it “Pop goes the Sphincter”

Word is the rope and its 8 brass balls spaced evenly at 1 inch intervals is now in the Smithsonian awaiting display

Yet.

TBG would not be surprised if Assad, after gassing his own people (in defiance of Obama’s Red Line), decides to shoot at an American ship or plane or have some of his agents arrested plotting a terror attack on the Homeland.

War GODS angry…………if Wil Folks would review his Bible …..did Jesus not go “war-nuts” in a Temple and not a battlefield…?

The Israel-ites leaving Egypt did not use guns or knives……

Where the rams Horns used on Jericho …a weapon..?

When David picked up just one rock…is that anger..??

When MLK sat at a lunch counter….is that anger…?

Did Barney Fife ever use his one bullet…?

Oh hell. Did this idiot just begin an argument with the Bible and end with the Andy Griffith show? Tell me I’m seeing things. Oh shit I’m going to piss all over myself laughing.

Bogart………..we are delighted that you are “all over yourself”…. matter of fact we wonder if Steven Colbert or John Stewart has ever allowed Wil Folks to do that to himself. This may be a comment section first.

Bravo….bogart…..Bravo…

Ya know, Aunt “B” was known to keep a Bible somewhere. Question is…..did she ever talk to the War Gods in Mayberry while singing with Barney in the church choir…?

But God is also a kind God, because he gave us a crack in our ass that is vertical. If God had made our crack horizontal when, as children, we slid down bannisters our asses would go “filip filip filip filip filip ” …..

Am I the only one who struggles to understand his posts? The Romans called it a “non sequitur.” Maybe I need to try harder but its not worth my time on a message board.

“War Gods Angry” sounds like the name of a metal song, but all I’m hearing from McCain/Graham is the Benny Hill theme.

This “we’ll launch terror attacks against you if you bomb us” routine is laughable. We are to believe that we are at war with terror already. How is that a new threat?

Well, that reminds me of this story—-

“Good morning. I came to this store because I don’t like to bargain.”

“Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’re strictly a one-price outfit.”

“Excellent. I like that blue suit over there. What will it cost?”

“Like I said, I don’t fool around with bargaining. So I’m not going to ask $250 for this suit, or even $235. I’m going to give you my best price – $220.

“Well, you’re my kind of businessman, and that’s why I’m here. I won’t fool around and offer you $165 for that suit, or even $175. I’ll give you $200 for that suit.”

“You can have it for $210.”

“I’ll take it.”

Graham is going to get flushed down the toilet at the ballot box. Nothing can stop it now. Nothing at all. He is finished in South Carolina. And he deserves more than just that. He must be punished and sent to prison where HE BELONGS!

One slight change. Instead of “military-industrial complex”, it has grown into an “intelligence-police-military-industrial complex”, in that the US now has 16 major intelligence agencies and 100+ federal police agencies.
