Obama is bringing the Winds of Freedom to Syria.

[Dr Fate]

And the beauty of it is that it will be at a "de minimus" cost- that is, it really wont put too much burden on the poor and middle class.

No- really.

Just a few random thoughts here- as I am feeling especially patriotic and proud today, as we inch towards glory.

Even far left liberals like Dean and Pelosi are on board with the Centrists and Republicans- so you KNOW this is a good idea.

I welcome this support, so long as we dont have to listen to them on far-left liberal stuff.

I realize that the public is against this- but we must rememeber that the same public was FOR the invasion of Iraq. This proves that we should not listen to them. After all- they were wrong on Iraq, so it stands to reason that they are wrong now too.

If I were allowed to name this action, I would call it "Operation Freedom Wind."

[GeorgeGist]

1. Slight disagreement ...

I prefer Jon Stewarts "Operation Just the Tip".

[JI7]

2. actually the public is NOT for this the way they were for Iraq

[Dr Fate]

7. Exactly. We argued that the majority was wrong on Iraq.

So unless we are going to be hypocrites, then we have to assume the majortiy is wrong this time too.

It's high time for some profiles in courage.

[KittyWampus]

8. And since they were wrong in supporting Iraq, they are wrong in being against Syria. LOL!

Black humor.

[JI7]

13. it just shows public is not that informed and a lot of it is emotional

support for iraq was because of 9/11 even though iraq had nothing to do with it. it didn't help the bush administration just lied and the media went along with it.

non support for syria is because of the disaster that iraq turned out to be. it doesn't help that the media reports in sensationalist way and makes it black/white simplistic than actual discussions of what is going on and has been going on.

either way i wouldn't want any president to make decisions like this based on poll numbers.

[KittyWampus]

16. I agree. From all my research I still come out against intervening NOW which means

there would have to be more carnage to justify.

I really hope this all ends up being giant sabre rattling.

[ProSense]

23. I love these silly threads.

Congress is going full speed ahead and some think a snarkfest changes anything.

[Dr Fate]

30. With you 100%. I cant wait for the bombs to drop either.

The sooner Congress speeds this up and says whatever it is they are going to say- the sooner the President can spread freedom, no matter what this do-nothing congress says.

[ProSense]

36. Are you excited by the possibility of more chemical attacks by Assad?

"With you 100%. I cant wait for the bombs to drop either."

I'm not "with you," and you seem too gleeful about this situation.

[Dr Fate]

40. No- I'm excited about turning that shit-hole into a sheet of glass...

...if that is what it takes.

For now, I'm fine with just a few love taps. First we "send a message".

If you are against the bombing, no one is stopping you from going on the record and saying so.

I am 100% for it- and I dont care what the public or congress says.

You are not with me? Fine- pretend to side with the far left then.

[ProSense]

41. "No- I'm excited about turning that shit-hole (Syria?) into a sheet of glass..." n/t

[Dr Fate]

42. If that is what it takes-absolutely. For now I'll defend whatever Obama does or does not do.

I will defend and say I agree with whatever he does or does not do-I will defend and say I agree with whatever he says- or does not say.

Just like I know you will. This is what I mean when I assure you that I am with you.

Fortunately, I know we will bomb Syria- which I am for. However, if he decides not to, I will be for that too.

Yes, I am too with you.

[ProSense]

43. "Fortunately, I know we will bomb Syria- which I am for."

Well, it's good to have you on record.

[Dr Fate]

44. I thought my OP made that clear. I am sad that you oppose Obama's bombing.

If that really is what you are saying.

Feel free to clarify if you really do disagree with me and Obama on this.

I thought you were for it too.

[devils chaplain]

3. I honest to god, truly, genuinely can't tell if this is parody or not...

But the idea that this will bring "freedom" to Syria is absolutely ridiculous.

[Dash87]

20. It's satire but as dry as the Mojave.

I had to reread a couple of times.

[Dr Fate]

27. No- I really am from the Far Center.

And I'm here to help.

[HardTimes99]

31. A sure illustration of the truth of Poe's Law, if any more were or are

needed:

Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.

15. That's the kind of wind I was thinking too.

[Catherina]

5. Well then, may those winds of freedom bring him to the shores his righteousness deserves n/t

[Skink]

6. Agreed

why in the age of Nuclear disarmament do we continue to manufacture theses heinous weapons.

[Dr Fate]

10. We are not the ones actually USING them.

It's one thing to collect them, a whole other thing to actually use them.

I think the freedom loving peoples of this nation can see the difference.

[KittyWampus]

9. I prefer your brand of commentary to Manny's. More ambiguous and leaves room for thought.

[DJ13]

12. Those winds have Sarin gas in them

[avaistheone1]

14. I would call it Operation Jackass Wind

[Erose999]

21. Operation Breaking Wind. Just hope it doesn't turn into an amphibious invasion.

[hobbit709]

17. You really think they will have freedom?

The new government will be a repressive theocracy.

[durablend]

22. Well then we'll have to bomb some more Democracy into them!

"Winning the hearts and minds of millions one Tomahawk at a time!"

[Dr Fate]

26. "The Rocket's Red Glare- All those Bombs in the Air"

You are damn right that bombs will bring freedom.

Just ask any WWII vet.

[Dr Fate]

24. If that were true, Obama & Kerry would not be for it.

Are you trying to say that Obama & Kerry support repressive theocracy?

No one is going to believe that- everyone knows they are honorable men who will do the Right thing on this.

[Harmony Blue]

18. You lost me at

"inch towards glory"

[Erose999]

19. If by "winds of freedom" you mean "the whispering winds of shit," then yes.

Beware my friend. Shit winds are a' comin.

[dkf]

25. Yeah, freedom to exist in the netherworld.

[jsr]

28. Translation: Patriots, eat your peas and fart

[HardTimes99]

29. We're liberating the shit out of them (in the Sartrean sense of the term, where

liberation equals death).

[Taverner]

32. Operation Blow Freedom Smoke Up Our Ass nt

[99th_Monkey]

33. How about "Operation Passing Wind"? nt

[HooptieWagon]

39. Damn, beat me to it...

[Waiting For Everyman]

34. Or, how 'bout the classic that's always true regardless?

"Winds of Change"? Change is one thing we can always count on, whether it be good or bad.

Walk softly through the desert sand
Careful where you tread
Underfoot are the visions lost
Sleeping, not yet dead

Hang on - Winds starting to howl
Hang on - The beast is on the prowl
Hang on - Can you hear the strange cry
Winds of change are blowing by

Mountains crumble and cities fall
Don't come to an end
Lie scattered on the desert floor
Waiting for the wind

Chorus

You got your life planned carefully
But you left out one detail
The hidden hand deals just one round
And the winds of change prevail

Chorus

Walk softly through the desert sand
Old dreams lead the way
Nothing new in the sands of time
Just changes every day

Hang on - It's starting again
Hang on - There's no shelter from the wind
Hang on - Like a fire from the sky
Winds of change are blowing by

[quinnox]

35. The Al-Qaeda elements in the rebel forces will greet us with flowers and candy!

They will be overjoyed we are finally on their side!

[whatchamacallit]

37. Brilliant Dr Fate, brilliant!

[HooptieWagon]

38. More like Operation Passing Wind.

If the freedom we bring to Syria is like the freedom we brought to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, then Syrians are in for a great disappointment.

[Dr Fate]

45. Rome was not built in a day.

First you have to bomb them, then you paint the schools.

The rest will fall into place, if you just have paitence.

[NuclearDem]

48. This is either really subtle satire

Or that's one of the most chickenhawkish, disgusting things I've read in a while.

[Enrique]

46. Freedom Wind ftw!

[Dr Fate]

47. Freedom kick!
