I like this response to this headline from the Alan Colmes blog…  “Those Who Supported Bush/Cheney Wars Have No Business Demanding Syria ‘Exit Strategy’ From Obama”…

Erm… yes they do.

The ones I don’t want to hear from are those that supported Bush/ Cheney and are now urging something more hawkish from Obama… see… Max Boot, et al.  (And is there a more appropriate name for someone than “Max Boot”?  But Slammer was already taken.)

To be fair, from what I see the “exit strategy” is… urm… we bomb some chemical weapons locations to “set Assad back” and “send a message”… and then… we stop.  There’s your Exit Strategy.

But, you know.  If Mary Matilan doesn’t have the credibility … howzabout… Jimmy Carter?

I mean… Jimmy carter is a Noble Peace Prize winner.

Granted, his peace prize was mostly just a political slap in the face of the Bush Administration, but nonetheless…

I’ll take a step back and allow you time to digest the meaning of that joke.

Curious comment here:
What would a day in Portland be like if there were no protest for or against something?
Weirdly dismissive.  Like, they’re protesting guppy furs or something, and not military action abroad.

Also.

Paul Waldman at The American Prospect points out that nearly every American president eventually bombs something. And on average, we’ve bombed another nation at least once every 40 months since 1963. “If you’re wondering why people all over the world view the United States as an arrogant bully, reserving for itself the right to rain down death from above on anyone it pleases whenever it pleases, well there you go.” [via MoJo]
