Free obamaphone, free guns and war, what is not to like in democrat rhetoric... Except that everything has a cost. No blood for oil, eh? Blithering hypocrites when they fight for bread crumbs.

Apparently Grover Norquist is one of the good ones. After all, lots of bitching about Obama and muslims but virtually nothing about Norquist so he’s clearly one of the good ones.

He pumps Saudi money into the GOP so he must be one of the good muslims. /s

Secretary of State John Kerry revealed that Arab countries were offering to bear all the financial costs of unseating President Assad if the United States took the lead on military action during Wednesday’s House hearing on the Obama Administration’s proposal for Syrian intervention.

So it IS regime change after all, not just lobbing a message on the tip of a Tomahawk. THEN WHY CAN'T THEY BE HONEST ABOUT IT???

I don’t see any Arab League Nations contributing any military forces to solve this on their own. If they don’t give soldiers and equipment, then we shouldn’t even do anything at all.

Seems someone in the Bush Admin said a similar thing once. Didn’t pan out.

How much more disgraceful can it get. The U.S. has now become the prostitute for the Saudi pimps. The House of Saud surreptitiously funded and created the clown in the WH and continues to pull the puppet’s strings. We now know for whon we are risking the lives of our sons and daughters.

Cool. So, like our military are mercenaries for the Arab countries.

Yes. The Saudi Prince tried to give the troops 10 G a piece-a little known incident.

Bush turned them down flat.

We are not mercenaries.

Geeze, what are these guys making it up as they go along?

They never read the Constitution.

They think our country is a corporation.

And just SHAME on ALL the Senators who approved this foreign creature for approval to the Sec of State.

Now I’ll read the posts

If it’s blood for bucks I’m surprised Putin isn’t trying to get in on the action.

THIS IS HOW DEEP THE CESSPOOL IS NOW:

The biggest surprise came late into the hearing, when Secretary Kerry revealed that Arab countries have offered to burden the financial costs of unseating President Assad if the United States handles the military action. This information contracts his previous statements that assured discussions of escalating military action in Syria were off limits:

“In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost,” Kerry said.

“That’s how dedicated they are at this. That’s not in the cards, and nobody’s talking about it, but they’re talking in serious ways about getting this done.”

So the US military will be paid merceneries for Saudi Arabia et al.

Of course, the boots on the ground won’t be the ones pocketing the money.

Might pay for flying their bodies back to the US, though.

This is so beyond hateful and sickening that I have no words to describe it. The whole thing.

Pretty sure it is Sunni Shia conflict. The Sunni leaders are paying us. Saudi and a few others.

Me too. So incredibly demoralizing. Just imagine how the troops must feel.

It helps explain why Nobama does everything he can to prevent domestic oil fracking. He’s just following Saudi wishes. Oil-hungry infidels are pliable infidels.

Don’t worry, they don’t belong to your species. They only have a mask on that looks sort of human.

Inside, they’re centipedes. Next lifetime, their form will match their minds.
