Keystone, Summers, & Syria

[corkhead]

Three potential gifts to the Oil Industry, Wall Street, and the MIC respectively.

I am watching how these play out before I make my own judgement as to whether we have a true Democrat in the White House, or the best Republican President since Nixon.

1. I think the fact that there would even be any question about it

says it all. The whole point of having a Democratic president should be that we don't have to wonder about whether he will act like one.

4. I think the fact that DU"ers don't know what Obama & Kerry have been trying to do to keep us OUT of

Syria for years now says it all too.

A lot of DU'ers like to run their mouths and trash talk but very few know what the fuck they are talking about.

9. Funny, according to the Washington Post Kerry indicated action is near.

So talk about people not knowing what the fuck they are talking about.

U.S. officials’ strong words on Syria signal that attack is near

The Obama administration laid out a case Friday for launching a military strike against Syria that left little room for doubt that an attack is imminent.

President Obama said he had not made a decision. But he said impunity for a massive use of chemical weapons would be a danger to U.S. national security and a sign that the world was “paralyzed” in the face of mass killing.

“A lot of people think something should be done, but nobody wants to do it,” Obama said. He acknowledged that the world feels a “certain weariness, given Afghanistan,” but made no mention of Thursday’s parliamentary vote in Britain, which ruled out participation in an attack.

The most forceful argument, and the clearest indication that action is near, came from Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who outlined intelligence findings against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he said were “as clear as they are compelling.”

They sure sound like people who want to go to war to me.

And when has Obama said no on Keystone or Summers? He hasn't. No wonder you didn't mention them.

2. Don't forget TPP.

Though trade agreements that fuck over US citizens are a bit of a Corporate Dem specialty.

3. Look to see who tried to keep us out of Syria. Hint-Kerry. BTW, you know who gets the most ME Oil?

Who benefitted from Iraqi Oil?

I posted a thread on it a while back.
