The Dean of Washington Elite Village Wisdom suggests Obama attack Iran to spur economic growth.
He says he's not suggesting this, but reading his column in the Kaplan Test Prep Post today, that is EXACTLY what he is suggesting.
Uh, Herr Broderness, we're already embroiled in two wars that we have put the federal credit card, adding trillions to the federal debt.
How does attacking a third country (one that is significantly bigger and more powerful than Iraq, btw) get the economy rolling again when that war will have to be put on the federal credit card too?
And leaving aside the irrationality of the economic argument, how about the morality of it?
What is wrong with a person who suggests starting a war is a good way to spur economic growth?
What terrible, awful things lurk in his heart and why is he given a prominent place to give voice to his demons?
Seriously, it's time to send Herr Broderness to the park bench where he can sit with the ghosts of Walter Matthau and Ossie Davis and talk about the good old days when you could launch a police action to spur economic growth without anybody other than a few dirty stinking hippies blinking twice.
Zionist forces, the neo cons were ALL behind Bush, inciting and imploring him to go to war. Wikileaks released data suggesting that our military acknowledges up to 400,000 Iraqis dead, with approximately 200,000 civilians dead. That's just in Iraq. And when we leave, it goes back to open warfare most likely. And by the way, we still have a large fighting force there.
ReplyDeleteWhen do we cut Israel off and call it a day? Is their pull so great here that this is considered sacrilege? This is automatically an antisemetic to suggest this option? If it is, there's something VERY wrong with this picture.
I say, chap, nothing stimulates the economy like an old-fashioned war. Were you employed at the Smellington Charter School you'd be working right now, and wouldn't have the time to post such rubbish. Why not join us? Idle hands are the working class's playthings, you know.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Smellington, old chap! When did you get out of jail? Was it Enron, Worldcom, Tyco or Madoff that they sent you up the river for? I can never remember...
ReplyDeleteAnon, I am with Ron Paul on getting rid of our overseas empire. No wonder we cannot pave our roads, feed and clothe our poor, provide a decent education and health care to our children, and Social Security to our old people. We're always in a new damned war or just sending money overseas in some other boondoggle.
