..and yet some in Washington DC feel the need to missile Syria. For God sakes, with the $$$$ we will blow away in a half day we could start restoring Detroit.
This Syria mess is bad news for anyone who get involved. Obama can not win this one anyway, Once he pulls the trigger he will be a 3 year lame duck and we all will pay the price.
Just bring our troops home. They are burned out.

Cleaning things up. Restoring infrastructure. Feeding the homeless. And smiling as they do it. They can even leave their weapons at the armory.
