Airstrikes on Syria would turn the U.S. military into “al Qaeda's air force,” former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) told The Hill.

How do I know the world is insane?

When I agree with a man like this.

Well, we were the Kosovo Air Force back in 1999...

and the Bosnian Air Force in 1995...

and the Saudi Air Force in 1991...

Anyone see a pattern here?

It’s an upside down world when I find myself in agreement with a nutcase like Kucinich.

After hearing Kerry’s comments regarding the use of chemical weapons I thought his words were strange. It seemed to me that he was protesting too much over what had happened, and who was responsible. Your link provides me with support for what I was thinking.

At 8 p.m. on August 31, 1939, Nazi S.S. troops wearing Polish uniforms staged a phony invasion of Germany, damaging several minor installations on the German side.

It is preposterous to think that anyone but the Polish Army invaded Germany...

We’re already sending them weapons, so we might as well go whole hog and be their air force, too. And the media will let him get away with it.

It is preposterous to believe that anything the Obozo Regime says has any serious level of truth to it.

I recall reading (perhaps in that link) that there were government forces in the chemical weapon targeted area.

It’s amazing to me that this worthless, unemployable jackass is still around to say anything. For FOX-News to have hired this fool makes you wonder what they were thinking.
