| Uncle Sucker, world's rent-a-cop? |

| Hat tip Gates of Vienna I'll admit, there is an argument – a thin, riddled, web of an argument – that it was U.S. interests that drove military interventions gone wrong in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't buy the argument: It morphed into a nation-building fantasy. It became disastrously, tragically and recklessly mistaken. But I can see at least that tarnished glimmer of national interest flash in the sludge before sinking from sight. Nothing like this is to be found in the sands of Libya. This is why the weirdo-bizarre assault on Gadhafi's forces led, but supposedly not really, by the United States under order of the U.N. Security Council (motley crew) and the Arab League (rogue's gallery), crossed a fat, red line. The president of the United States sent the U.S. military, already stretched and worn by darn near a decade of wars, into harm's way for no compelling American reason. ...It's as if Obama considers the interest he serves as being above all that Congress-American-people-stuff. "Humanitarians" are like that, and what we're seeing is so-called humanitarian military intervention, the doctrine is promulgated by Obama's human rights adviser Samantha Power. Known as a genocide expert, Power has gone so far as to argue for the insertion of a "mammoth" American "protection" force into Israeli-Palestinian environs to prevent "human rights abuses" – code for neutralizing Israeli self-defense. ...If this continues, don't be surprised to find Uncle Sucker "promoted" to world's permanent rent-a-cop, setting up the next no-fly-zone over Israel to intervene for the "humanitarian" cause of Hamas in Gaza. What can I say---the DMGA (Dimona Mushroom Growers Association) is a great comfort to me. |

| #1 The president of the United States sent the U.S. military, already stretched and worn by darn near a decade of wars, into harm's way for no compelling American reason. Quislingcrats believe that the presence of ANY American national interest by definition makes an associated American military deployment illegitimate. Even the defense of our own citizens or territory (NatGuard to Mexican border, for example) is deemed an exercise in evil. Only "humanitarian" expeditions under UN auspices are acceptable - oh, and by the way, any "coalition" MUST include the French, or it's not a real coalition. |
