That is denial big time, and a massacre of this size today is comparable to Hitler. It is a huge disaster. It is a new holocaust, and it isn't over. To deny that the USA is helping the Free Syrian Army, and that they represent the Syrian people, is to deny that they rose up against the tyrant and were answered with murder. It is to deny the biggest war crime of our time. Tulsi is denying the biggest war crime of our time. This I cannot respect.

"Fighting and bombing IS" = conducting warfare in Syria. Obviously, the US needs to stop this. Btw, Trump needs to stop messing with Iran. The last thing we need is yet another pointless war in the Mideast.  See.... I can be fair and balanced.
So you admit we're doing at least one war of choice, still.

Quote:And Tulsi is dead wrong. She's demanding that today's Hitler be part of a "peace deal?" How insane. No peace deal can involve Assad. The only peace possible on those terms is victory by Assad, which means most of his people are dead or gone. Assad can never be the legitimate ruler of his country again. John Kerry was wise enough to see that.

Godwin's law, man. It's not the US's job to fix every fucking humanitarian mess in the world. The proper role of the US military is to only defend the US.  Of course, I'll look more into Tulsi.  For now, I think she rocks.

Quote:Dennis was great; I went to hear him; I got to meet him and shake his hand. Sorry to say that in recent years he has increasingly devolved into conspiracy theory. He's not so cool anymore.

What's Dennis's position on wars of choice?  I may like him.

-- he's against them. He voted against war in Iraq in 2003 & campaigned for prez on it in 2004. He didn't make it past the1st few primaries & released his delegates to Edwards. He also opposed bambam's wars of choice & was one of the few ppl to speak out against bambam's shitty policies. The Shitcago thugs took him for a plane ride. He kept a low profile after that. After the 2010 census his district was eliminated- absorbed into neighboring districts- he lost a primary to Marcy Kaptur, & his seat in Congress. He's still raising hell as a private citizen however:
