You can't spell M-I-S-S-I-S-S-P-P-I GOP without I-S-I-S K and F-A-V-R-E

A man's flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe - Dune, Frank Herbert

One of the things rightwingers have consistently done to aid their efforts is focus all their energy on one Democratic "scandal" and relentlessly catapult the propaganda.  Of course, the truth of the scandal is immaterial to conservatives what matters is the ceaseless repetition.

"And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping..." - Kevin McCarthy to Sean Hannity October 2015

Republicans are committing so many misdeeds, crimes, offenses, scandals, and treason that it's hard to keep track, document, and continue to focus on them.  This is one of the reasons Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans want to do away with the FBI.  Those damn Federal Officers are investigating and arresting Conservatives!  And to any Leftists, who've long called for the dissolution of the FBI, understand Major Traitor Greene isn't your ally in this because see doesn't want to eliminate the FBI she wants them replaced with a Trumpstapho or Trumpstazi, a cult of personality police force rigidly adhering to the Republican agenda of oppression and intolerance and one which will work to undermine Democrats the way the New York FBI did with Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Back in April I did a post on Brett Favre stealing from millions from Mississippi taxpayers.  Well, since then more detail have emerged about the scope, intent, and direct actions Favre took to make sure he was able to illegally obtain Other Peoples Money.  Recent legal fillings have included additional texts sent by Favre as he was involved in a Republican scheme to "misuse" $94,000,000 of federal grant money earmarked for TANF and other projects to help the people of Mississippi.

One Hundred Million Dollars.  Stolen.  A Hundred Million!

But, of course Republicans don't care about this.  Governor Phil Bryant was, most likely, involved in all of this but left office in 2020 to his flabby underling, Tate Reeves who was Lieutenant Governor during this theft of A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.  Reeves is still in office as Governor now as he seeks to make all abortion illegal, seeks to privatize the water supply for the poor people isn't facing daily calls to resign in disgrace.  Isn't facing Federal prosecution (as far as I know).  Tate Reeves is one of those bulbous, well-fed, smooth bodied rightwing Republicans who calls the meager assistance Americans receive from their government "cruel socialism" all the while ensuring those federal funds flow into the coffers of the rich and religious right wack-a-loons.  

And look in Jackson, Mississippi Americans don't have clean water.  For drinking.  For bathing.  For laundry and dishes.  For schools. For months.  Because Republicans don't invest in facilities for the people they rule over.  Because Republicans steal public funds and funnel it to their friends and ideological allies.  Because Republicans whole raison d'être is to get into office to undermine and hamstring government and then claim government doesn't work.  This is what they do with Education, Infrastructure, and any other public utilities.

The question for Americans and those living in Mississippi is; Are Republicans more dangerous to their health and well-being than ISIS?  The answer clearly is yes.

Republicans don't give a shit about people.  They don't give a shit.  Veterans, Law Enforcement, Women, and anyone who doesn't ceaselessly toe-the-line of Intolerance and Oppression and Adulation of the Rich.  Republicans idolize ISIS and want to create and Rightwing Fundamentalist Nation with 90% of people shackled in Wage Slavery, women and minorities reduced to second class citizens, and a Rightwing Paramilitary which rigidly enforces the White Evangelical Patriarchy with unimpeded violence.   

Let's talk Turkey. Trump is owned by Erdogan.

Thank you Prime Minister Erdogan for joining us yesterday to celebrate the launch of #TrumpTowers Istanbul!—Ivanka Trump 4/20/12

And the rush by Rightwing liars to justify whatever Trump does is off!!!

Conservatives #dgaf about the chaos in the Middle East or the struggle of the Kurdish people. The only thing conservatives care about is #OwntheLibs. DJ Traitor Trump has never and will never care enough about anything difficult to understand. Trump is a vile and venal creature who views the world and people as how they can aid him and whether or not they can make him pay his debts. Turkish President Erdogan clearly can make Trump pay,

"I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul" - Traitor Trump 2015

As Trump's impeachment is certain; Putin, Erdogan and others are going to call in their chits. And Trump is uncaring or too dumb to see the whole timing of the US pullout shows it. Turkey declares they are moving forward with a long planned military operation into Northern Syria and Trump gets a phone call from Turkish President Erdogan demanding payback.

So Trump being stupid but, needing the fawning adoration of his #Magat Horde declares he defeated ISIS and is now pulling back US Forces;

“Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria. The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation, and United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial ‘Caliphate,’ will no longer be in the immediate area,” according to a White House statement.

Trump knows his rabid base only care about the semblance of victory. Conservatives long ago abandoned objective reality and treat Trump or a Republican administrations statements as stone-cold facts. So Trump tweeted out,

As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over... the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT! Oct 7, 2019

It's shades of the conservative reaction to the Iraq War. Conservatives proclaimed Iraq a Glorious Victory dozens of times during W(orst POTUS Ever) pResidency, beginning when C+ Augustus awarded himself a Triumph aboard the USS Enterprise on May 1, 2003 and continuing until right-wingers declared V-I Day on November 8, 2008 in order to "get it on the record".

But, while the Iraq War Crimes and Middle East chaos were exactly what Dick Cheney and the Republican Party wanted in order to make off with Trillions of dollars in Wealth stolen from the American and Iraqi people, Trump's decision is actually more pathetic.

Ultimately, the chaos in the Middle East ties back directly to George W(worst President of All-Time) Bush ginning up a war in Iraq and ISIS is the unholy muslim love-child of Ronnie Raygun and W(orst) but, that doesn't matter right now because Trump's weakness is going to get a massive number of people killed, destroy any semblance of stability in the Middle East, and cede geopolitical dominance in the region.

Trump wants an expanded Military able to fight multiple wars at the same time

"We got two, three, four wars goin' on,
All I can do is sing this song..." - Times is Hard, Loudon Wainwright III, Songs for the New Depression (2009)

According to reporting in the Armytimes and MarineCorpstimes, Donald Trump wants an expanded military able to project military power in multiple theaters simultaneously.

Trump wants an active-duty Army with another 60,000 soldiers in the ranks, an unspecified number of additional sailors to man the 78 ships and submarines he intends to see built in coming years. He wants up to 12,000 more Marines to serve in infantry and tank battalions, and at least another 100 combat aircraft for the Air Force. 

Where is he going to get the extra Americans from? Right-Wingers love to talk up the military but shy away from actually joining and doing the work. Conservatives shirk duty at every opportunity.

But, during the Global War on Terror (GWoT) sometimes known as World War IV to Conservatives (Ronnie Raygun having won World War III against the Soviet Union by himself), Young Conservatives eschewed military service. During W(orst POTUS Ever) misadministration military Recruiters, under massive pressure to make quotas, were driven to signing up gangbangers and white supremacists to fill vacanies which conservatives were reluctant to fill. But, conservatives were more than willing to fight the battle on the homefront; Attacking liberals, defaming anti-war activists, and joining the couch-borne keyboard commandoes.

However, during the year-long 2016 Presidential Race, conservatives adopted a mealy-mouthed anti-war stance, which they really didn't believe. Right-Wingers and their media sychophants assured America that Trump hated Wars, especially Iraq. Of course, Iraq really was entirely the fault of HRC and her 30 year reign as Emperor of America. The vote totals probably indicate Trump's new found anti-Iraq War stance didn't sway anti-war people into Trump's camp but, it did afford ratfvckers like Glenn Greenwald and Jill Stein cover to go after HRC while minimalizing the world-wide danger represented by Donald Trump.

So, what we are seeing is a repeat of Reaganomics. Massive deficit spending on the military. Jobs creation focused on the military; more soldiers, more contractors, more non-military support staff.

Remember that for every soldier, airmen, sailor, or Marine in uniform you're talking at least 9 non-military personnel added.

Trump has promised to build a Marine Corps capable of simultaneously winning two wars. It would be based on 36 battalions, up from the current force structure of 24 active-duty infantry battalions, two active-duty tank battalions and supporting units. That means adding between 8,000 and 12,000 more Marines to the service’s roster, another potentially expensive personnel plus-up dependent on a significant influx of new funding.   Using the fiscal 2017 personnel costs as a base, that could total more than $1 billion per year just in personnel costs, before equipment and training are factored in. 

But, when coupled with the right-wing moronic lunatics Trump is proposing former Marine Corps General James Mattis for Secretary of Defense and General Mike Flynn for National Security Advisor it's time to realize the United States is about to enter two new wars in the Middle East; i.e. An invasion of Syria to unleash Trump's secret smarter than the generals plan to fight ISIS and a ramping up of tensions with Iran under the leadership of Warmonger Senators Tom Cotton and John McCain until Trump declares war to distract the American people.

So, as conservatives get their war back on, challenge them over and over to enlist and put their asses on the line instead just talking tough. But, get ready for Generation: Chicken Hawk 2.0.

ISIS and the Chicken Hawk Right-Wing Rush to send You to War (Updated)

The Terrorist Attacks in Paris weren't concluded before the Chicken Hawk Warmonger American Right-Wing Ghouls took to their keyboards and smart phones to celebrate.

Much like ISIS, conservatives see the Paris Attacks as a Victory. They have taken to their internet redoubts to clamour for another war. Conservative blogs, news sites and Facebook feeds are peppered with Right-Wing War Fanfic about murdering millions of muslims and liberals.

I eagerly await the rush of conservatives enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces to fight in the Syria. But,  I've been waiting for conservatives to enlist en masse in the Military for 14 years to fight, as they so often say, "the war of our time."

But, eventhough it's the War of Our Time according to Jeb Bush and legions of Conservative Keyboard Commandos, conservatives have absolutely been "leading it from behind". Conservatives comprise Generation Chicken Hawk, they are more than willing to Support the War Over Here while they send others to Fight the War Over There. Conservatives are always willing to sacrifice others to defend their values.

No less than Mike Huckabee gave a special dispensation to conservatives that's it's alright to agitate for war without serving,

"I might suggest to parents, I’d wait a couple of years until we get a new commander-in-chief that will once again believe ‘one nation under God'..." 

Of course, that doesn't explain why Conservatives fervently eschewed military service from 2001-2008.

ISIS, itself, is the Unholy Muslim love child of the Ronald Reagan's Cold War ignorance, W(orst President Ever) intelectual incuriosity, and Dick Cheney's rapacious appetitie for War Profittering.

Here are just a few of the minor Strategic Blunders by the Bush War Machine,

• Inviting Mongolia into the Operation Iraqi Liberation coalition without realizing that the Iraqi people still habor anger towards Mongols because the Mongol Horde burned down Baghdad and killed everyone there in 1258.
• Or say having the Paul Bremer led Coalition Provisional authority grant the Iraqis a 2-day weekend, because previously Iraqis were only given off one day a week, Friday. Now you're choices are Thursday and Saturday, and the CPA's choice? Saturday. Who else enjoys Saturday as a day of rest? The Jews. Predictably, Islamic Clerics took to their Mosques and declared the United States is trying to turn us into Jews and violence followed.
• Or say putting out a request for a new flag design to break with Saddam's Iraq and then choosing this one. Once again Imams reacted and declared the US was trying to turn Iraqis into Jews.

But, of course, the major blunder was the Iraq War, a war of choice, itself.

Bill Maher has again asked, "Why do they hate us?" and this question underlines the entire Strategic Failure, which causes us to continue to suffer defeats. We don't know why they hate us and we don't understand them thus,

One who does not know the enemy but know himself will sometimes be victorious, sometimes meet with defeat.- Sun Tzu, Art of War.

Because of the intelectual incuroristy of the Bush Regime. W(orst) surrounded himself with people who apparently believed the greatest threat facing the Nation was "State-Sponsored" Terrorism. Despite the repeated warnings of Richard Clarke and the CIA, those duplicitous conservative war criminals sought out Ahmed Chalabi who fed them as much tripe about Saddam as they could swallow.

Chalabi, much in way Ancient Satraps in the Middle East appealed to Roman Empire enticing them with the dream that it would be easy for them to overthrow the Tyrant in Mesopotamia and then install a new ruler favorable to their Empire, provided reams of fake information and false witnesses to support the delusions of W, the modern day Caligula, and his cabinent of cowardly conservative criminals.

Not, satisifed Chalabi's lies would sway the American People, the Republican Congress in 2002 invited another deposed Middle Eastern Potenate to extoll the virtues of War in Iraq. Bibi Netanyahu gave testimony which specifically linked Iraq to 911 and concluded,

"If you take out Saddam’s Regime, I guarantee you, that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Of course, W(orst)'s Fiasco in Iraq completely destabilized the reason, creating the void which ISIS has filled, while it killed a million innocent Iraqis, destroyed thousands of Americans Lives and ruined a hundred thousand American families, while transferring over $3 Trillion dollars into the hands of the American Criminal Rich.

The damage done to this Nation by George W(orst President Ever) Bush and his cadre of cowardly conservative criminals might never be undone.

Update:
Chicken Hawk and Possible Sleeper Terrorist Refugee Marco Rubio declared on Sunday the Republican Party sees the Paris Terrorist Attack as a "positive development" which his Party intends to use for "Political Advantage".

As a Liberal I'm Voting for Ben Carson for President (Updated)

Why am I supporting Carson? Mainly, because I hate America.

For years conservatives and elected Republican politicians have stated, matter-of-factly, that Liberals don't accept American Exceptionalism, that we wish to bring down the Greatest Free-est Best-est Country that every was, that we Hate America. This is common sense, no-duh, conventional wisdom on the Right. This is the starting point for every screed uttered on Right-Wing Toxic Hate Radio. This is the opening paragraph of every blog or facebook post, every conservative grifters latest book. It's the fundamental building block of everything the Right believes. This is Faux News.

Well, I'm going to prove them right. I'm going to vote for Ben Carson because a Carson Presidency will totally destroy the United States.

Ben Carson embodies C.S. Lewis' trilemma. Carson is a Liar and a Lunatic who thinks he's the Lord. Carson is a wholly unserious fairly demented individual. I can think of no one more qualified to usher in the End of the American Era. His Presidency will be quite a spectacle.

One of Carson lunatic beliefs (which I recall from years of Sid Meier's iconic computer games Civilization) that the Pyramids were built to store grain, seems to be Evangelical pablum recycled from middle-ages theologians that Joseph built the Pyramids for the 7 lean years. Carson, like all American Christianists, thinks he knows better than Historians, Scientists, Archaeologists and other trained people because he's read the Bible.

But, Carson's Presidential Campaign semi-admitted that Ben fabricated a story about getting a full-scholarship to West Point. Carson recounted his made up story in his novel, In Gifted Hands,

Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn't where I saw myself going.

Like, much of the Carson mystique, this account is a complete fabrication and outright lie. But, Carson's been recounting his lie of how he met General Westmoreland and was offered a "Scholarship" for 2 decades now. Of course, this doesn't matter to the "hermetically sealed" right-wing internet bubble. To them Carson's lies are proof the liberal media is out to get Ben Carson. (Just like that Faux News and every right-wing media site is covering for Ben Carson's West Point Lie.)

So, a proven liar and borderline lunatic, once Carson's beliefs are implemented into Policies and Laws would mark the End of the American Republic and usher in the Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave Corporate State.

Ben Carson has stated he will refuse to raise the debt ceiling. Boom, that alone will throw the entire World economic model, crafted post-World War II at the Breton Woods conference and refined at Bilderberg Meetings, into total Chaos.

Of course, it's going to be painful for the eternally butt-hurt white working class, because they are going to lose their homes, their meager savings, their pensions and 401k's and will not receive any Social Safety Net benefits. But, white working class people have been voting in Republicans for decades now and they deserve to share the pain they've inflicted on so many others.

Carsonomics having thrown the entire world into financial ruin will make the 2007 Republican Recession look like a Golden Era of Prosperity. So, Ben will move on to War to stimulate America.

Carson has declared he will order the military to destroy ISIS, so get ready for another decade of deployments to Iraq (Republicans and the Rich won't be worried because they don't serve in the military) but fortunately the military's hands, according to Ben, "will be untied" whatever that means? Torture? Burning Villages to save them from ISIS?

Carson now facing some discomfort at home, will declare Abortion is Slavery and use the awesome power of the government to ensure every pregnant woman carries her fetus to term. No matter what.

If that means quartering troops inside women's homes and detaining people without probable cause too bad, those amendments mean nothing when faced with the prospect some woman might get uppity ideas in her head about her body belonging to her!

Carson policies will tickle the right-wingers lizard brains and destroy America.

Update:
Kevin Drum over at MotherJones has a list of Carson's exaggerations (thus far). It seems to me that Ben Carson isn't satisified with his history. A quiet nerdy young man growing up in a tough section of Detroit (but before the Republican Economic Attack on the City), who went to Yale and then on to a brilliant medical career, so he's had to add elements and create a more compelling background for himself.

It's very sad, but what's downright disgusting is the way the Conservative Media Establishment is rallying, defending, and justifying Carson's baloney because they know he'll advance the Conservative Values of Intolerance, Oppression and Adulation of the Rich if he wins the White House. The Right-Wing media is hypocritically trotting out the 'High-Tech Lynching' rhetoric at the same time they've spent 7 years slandering and libeling President Obama.

ISIS is the unholy muslim lovechild of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush

A recent picture meme going around Facebook showed an image of Ronnie Raygun with the block letters

"If I was President ISIS would be called WASWAS"

And thus we have another hilarious incident of conservative ignorance.

Of course, this is active stupidity on the part of Conservatives because when faced with Muslim Terror Attacks in Lebanon, Ronald Reagan disarmed the Marine Corps Gate Guards and let hundreds of US Service Members and Diplomatic Employees get blown apart in two seperate Truck Bomb Attacks which used the same tactics.

After Ronald Reagan cut-and-run in the face of danger, he gave birth to Al Qaeda. Today's ISIS is the current incarnation of Reagan's explicit creation of Al Qaeda grown, nutured and trained by the George W. Bush and his Iraqi Adventure.

But, you can't expect Conservatives to know this history. Sarah Palin and other right-wing luminaries are paid to tell Conservatives that these Muslim Extremists were created ex nihlo. But, the rise of 20th Century Muslim Terrorism lays directly at the feet of the United States and the two worst Presidents to ever besmirch the White House; Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Post World War 2, the House of Saud was given a 40 year free reign to spread Wahabism throughout the Muslim World, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan many young Saudis Wahabist fanatics deployed to Afghanistan to kill godless Soviet Soldiers.

Of course, the Soviet Union was already on it's last legs, but the guerilla warfare of the Mujaheddin, armed with U.S. made Stinger missles and trained by the CIA and U. S. Special Forces helped hasten their demise. But, after their victory, Reagan's Muslim Extremists would not quietly slip back into their Madrassas. Thus, once the USSR sulked out of Afghanistan they went back to their texts but, kept their Kalishnakovs oiled and ready.

At the same time, Reagan's Muslim Fanatics were killing commies, Donald Rumsefled had been dispatched to provide aid to Saddam Hussein and his very secular Iraqi Regime to combat the Ayatollah and his Iranian Extremists. Of course, the Ayatollah and the Fanatics in Iran had come into existence in 1979 because the United States had overthrown the Iranian Government and placed the Shah into Power in 1953. The Shah was a brutal dictator but, much like Saddam Hussein in the 1980's he was our Dictator.

So, a million people died during the Iran-Iraq War but, Saddam Hussein felt he paid his dues to the United States, was now our newest Middle East Dictator,and was free to reclaim the Iraqi Province of Kuwait, which the British had created in 1919 as a port for British Petroleum.

The Saudis didn't like having Secular Saddam Hussein running around with his big military so they invited the United States into Saudi Arabia for protection and the lapdog of the House of Saud George H.W. Bush happily obliged. The House of Bush is a vassal client to the House of Saud and accepted the U.S. would be a Suzerain of Saudi Arabia long ago.

Unfortunately, the presence of American Armed Forces in the Islamic Holy Land angered Osama Bin Laden and his CIA -backed, Reagan-created Muslim Extremists. So, they focused their new Jihad on the United States.

Meanwhile, GHW Bush launched Desert Storm, based on lies, which routed Saddam's Army because it was a Paper Tiger despite all the US Propaganda about it being the World's 4th Largest Military. But, Saddam remained in power as Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld encouraged the Shite Marsh Arabs to rise up and do the work of overthrowing Saddam.

The Marsh Arabs rise and are crushed by Saddam's Forces who realise U.S. A-10's aren't demolishing their tank columns. Saddam Hussein spends the next 10 years slowly erasing the Marshes and eliminating the Shite Arabs.

Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden strikes at US interests across the Globe while Muslim Fanatics continue to train in Saudi created and Saudi petro-dollar funded religious schools. These later Muslim Extremists move into Afghanistan and create an Islamic State.

George W. Bush lost the 2000 Presidential Election but, was made President anyway. W, is expected to be a Calvin Coolidge like figure, dutifully helping Business gain power at the expense of the working class in the United States, while pretending to be a Compassion Conservative.

Now, George W. Bush wasn't interested in doing Presidential work, but in the regalia of being President, so he ignores the August 6th memo warnings about the Reagan-created Muslim Fanatics and their Plan to Strike in America.

And thus the United States is attacked on 9/11 (15 of the 19 hijackers are Saudi) while blithering idiots Rudy Giuliani and W(orst President in History) do nothing.

After the attacks, despite vowing to bring the evil-doers to Justice (a vow he never fulfilled), George W. Bush allows Osama Bin Laden to escape from Tora Bora in 2001 when Dick Cheney orders the SEAL mission canceled, and spends the next 2 years lying about Saddam Hussein, because W's liege lord the King of Saudi Arabia demands the United States attack Iraq.

So, based on "smoking gun, mushroom cloud" sized lies and a fabricated  connection between Saddam and Osama Bin Laden , W(orst President Ever) begins Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL).

The Iraqi War is declared won by Republicans and Conservatives many times over during Bush's Presidency from Mission Accomplished on May 1, 2003 to Victory in Iraq Day Nov. 22, 2008 this despite a constant flow of U.S. killed and wounded and the hundreds of thousands of murdered Iraqis.

And throughout the Massive Failure, Bush smirks and jokes about missing WMDs, while US Troops are killed and hundreds of thousands are wounded; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and morally.

But, what does the Iraqi War succeed at spectacularly? The creation of a new generation of battle -hardened Muslim Extremists. Because, while Saddam was in power in Iraq the fanatics did not have a base of Operations but now thanks to the complete destabilizing of the region ISIS fanatics have training, experience, weaponry and recruits aplenty.

So, that's ISIS, the unholy love child of Ronald Reagan and W(orst President Ever) and if conservatives want to the United States to re-invade and fight them? Well, there are local recruiting offices throughout the country.

President Obama still cleaning up Dick Cheney's Colossal Blunder(s)

One would be hard pressed to find a single Man responsible for more pain and damage to the American People and the Nation than Dick Cheney; Tojo and Robert E. Lee come to mind.

Cheney and his daughter whose only credentials are she's ridden Dick to further her political career and of being 1/5th of Dick's Deferments wrote an Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal which is a case study in projection and holds the key to the entire Conservative Mindset.

Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. 

This one sentence encapsulates the entire pathological evil which drives the chicken hawk cowardly warmonger criminals who infest the Republican Party. Republicans are everything they claim they hate and are the antithesis of everything they claim to support.

"In the last five years America has receded from leadership in the world. And into that vacuum has stpeed Nations like Iran, like Russia, like China. As we abandoned our allies the consequences has been to make the world a much less safer place."

Chicken Hawk Senator Ted Cruz, proposes what exactly? The US military should have invaded Russia to defend Crimea? Does Senator Croooze think we should station soldiers on micro-islands in the South China Sea? Does he propose we back the Sunni Insurgents agains the Iranian back Maliki Government? Ted Cruz is an unserious boob who wishes he could have voted for the AUMF in 2002 because that's when brave tough REMF could tell libtards to suck on this.

The Bush/Cheney Crusade in Iraq has resulted only in the destabilizing of the region. Everything which has happened in Iraq, happened because of deliberate lies and ignorant fantasies, from W(orst POTUS Ever) and his staff of NeoCon war criminal buffoons stated Casus Belli (Smoking Gun=Mushroom Cloud, Saddam's connection to Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden), the ever rotating reason for remaining, all the lies of progress we were making, all the fallout, the loss of American lives, the destruction of thousands of families, a million dead Iraqis and $5 Trillion stolen.

Of course, as Dick Cheney would say, "So?"

President Obama announced today that the US would be providing 300 advisors and established JOC (Joint Operation Centers) in Baghdad and Northern Iraq. Additionally, surveillance elements would be dispatched and re-tasked to provide US additional intel on the situation involving the ISIL/ISIS.

The President also declared he would make Congress take the lead in determining a further course of action. Congress, of course, wants nothing to do with Iraq and will demagogue hoping President Obama will choose an official course of action which, either way they can attack as wrong.

The Bush/Cheney Crusade was naught but a massive list of monstrous crimes against Humanity which continue to this day.

The Nations of Iran and Turkey now must turn a large amount of their attention and resources towards containing the violence unleashed by Cheney's Evil.

The continuing Civil War in Syria will create a stable of potential fighters. Additionally, thousands of displaced innocent people are in a humanitarian crisis.

If the Kurdish People begin a push for an independent state, the Turks and the Persians aren't just going to let the areas of their countries slip away. As late as the 1990's the Turkish Government made the Kurdish language, Kurdish names and Kurdish newspapers and radio illegal.

In Iraq, families haven't yet recovered from Bush's War of Lies and now they face a tripartite Civil War, which will eventually end a mess of semi-functioning states. So, the Middle East will be a cauldron of Death and Mayhem. All thanks to the despicable evil humanoid creature Dick Cheney.

Thom Hartmann wrote a better take down of the War Criminal Cheney,

He lied his way into an illegal war, profited off that war, and shredded the Constitution. He's a war criminal and has the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people on his hands. 

Dick Cheney should be rotting in a prison cell at The Hague, not writing editorials for the Wall Street Journal.

Iraq: W Built This! George W. Bush is the Worst President in US History

"I'm the commander – see, I don't need to explain – I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." - Bush at War, Bob Woodward

11 years after Mission Accomplished and Iraq is about to fall to Muslim Extremist Insurgents. Reports are that Mosul and Tikrit have fallen to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) who "defeated" the American trained Iraqi Army despite facing 40:1 Odds Against. The ISIS states they plan to march on Baghdad and conquer the Country. the Maliki Government has requested drones and air support from the US. A request the Obama Administration has refused, thus far.

George W. Bush is the Now Officially the Worst President in American History. Even surpassing that arch-villain Ronald W. Reagan.

Bush, Cheney and Conservatives had been declaring the Iraq War a Victory for years. Besides the Eternal Progress we always seemed to be making, the Iraq War was declared over and over and over;

"We will be greeted as liberators." - March 16, 2003. 

"And we're making progress. There's tangible, visible progress on the ground there in Iraq," - April 24, 2003 

"Major Combat Operations in Iraq have ended." - May 1, 2003 

"Bring'em On!" - July 2, 2003 

"We're making progress, you bet," - April 30, 2004

"We're making progress. Yet there still is much work to do," - May 24, 2004 

"They're in the Last Throes," - June 20, 2005  

"Is the sacrifice worth it? It is worth it and it is vital to the security of our country," - June 29, 2005

"And we're making progress training the Iraqis. Oh, I know it's hard for some Americans to see that progress, but we are making progress," - August 11, 2005 

Saddam's Death - December 30, 2006 

We won. The Iraq War is over. I declare November 22, 2008 to be "Victory in Iraq Day." (Hereafter known as "VI Day.") - Zomblog, Zombietimes

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." - George W. Bush, May 24, 2005.

Everything about the George W. Bush Administration has been a total failure. The Worst Terrorist Attack in History occurred under his watch and he couldn't be bothered to think about the mastermind responsible.

Bush and his Regime turned a blind eye to thousands of EPA violations, which we've seen result untold damage to the Country in the Gulf, in North Carolina, in the Great Lakes, in West Texas.

The economy is still in a shambles from the Republican Recession, the Trillions of Dollars wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Billions stolen by the obscene Bush Tax Cuts.

Under Bush and Cheney the top 0.1% got a tax cut of $520,000, 450 times what the middle income taxpayer received. The bottom 20% of Americans only got 1% of the tax cut, a $300 dollars Department of Treasury check. The tax cuts were sold as a way to bring in middle class jobs and rising middle class wages.

Koch Industries and the Exxon/Mobil funded Heritage Foundation rabidly cheered and promoted the Bush Tax Cuts. The Heritage Foundation's 2001 report proclaimed if the Bush tax cut legislation were to pass, it would:

1) Effectively pay off the federal debt;
2) Reduce the federal surplus by $1.4 trillion;
3) Substantially increase family income;
4) Save the entire Social Security surplus;
5) Increase personal savings;
6) Create more job opportunities.

Everyone of those claims was a deliberate lie to sell the tax cuts to the middle class as a job creator and deficit reducer. None of these claims came true because the Plutocracy and their Think Tanks knew they were lies. What did occur was a massive transfer of wealth upwards to the Plutocracy, which were the true goals of the Bush Tax Cuts and part of the Republican plan all along. 

Bush and the Republicans Wars are still costing the Nation. Thousands of American Veterans suffer from PTSD, many of them resort to taking their life, because the Republican Party doesn't care about broken soldiers and hasn't cared since they started the Wars. In total a Million Veterans may require a lifetime of coverage and support which Bush never intended to provide them with and the Republican  Party continually votes against providing.

Torture, the Bush TARP, a Bankers wet dream, wherein another Trillion in American taxpayer funds was grotesquely funneled directly to aid the Rich as a last Bushian Fuck You to the people.

But, you'll be hard pressed to find a conservative who voted for Bush nowadays. They are rarer than Hen's Teeth.

And now, the coup de'grace, the failure of George W(orst President Ever) Bush's Reverse Domino Theory in Iraq.

Two senior Iraqi politicians told Western intelligence that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction on the eve of the 2003 invasion – but their warnings were ignored and then not reported to the subsequent Butler inquiry, according to a major new investigation. 

Vital intelligence used to justify the invasion of Iraq 10 years ago was based on "fabrication" and "wishful thinking", the BBC Panorama documentary claims. While information from highly placed Iraqis was dismissed as unimportant if it indicated that Hussein did not have WMD, tip offs from low-ranking Iraqis were eagerly lapped up if they reinforced what George W Bush and Tony Blair wanted to hear, it is claimed.

Hundreds of Thousands dead and at least $5 Trillion lost on the Iraq Debacle based on "intelligence" Tony Blair and MI6 and George W(orst President Ever) Bush and the CIA knew was fabricated while dissenting intelligence was ignored.

Update:
John McCain (and others) are pushing the We Won Iraq until That One lost it.

"What about the fact that we had it Won? The fact is we had the conflict won, and we had a stable government, and a residual force such as we have left behind ... but the president wanted out and now we are paying a very heavy price."

Sure, a perpetual "stablizing force" suffering the daily death of one or more military members. The expenditure of Billions of Dollars a day, most of it swindled by the American Plutocracy and shuffled of into Cayman Islands Bank accounts. That is what McCain wanted. That is what the Republican Party wanted.

The Republican Party in all its' iterations is the most despicable collection of scum ever assembled. They and their mindless conservative drones won't be happy until we are all ground down into nothing and the Democratic Republic is obliterated.
