DIE, HIPPIES! Instead of Bombing Syria, Why Don’t We Bomb Code Pink Instead?

Posted on | September 3, 2013 | 56 Comments

First, bad arguments for bad policy:

The U.S. decision to take military action in Syria is not about President Obama’s “red line” on the use of chemical weapons, Secretary of State John Kerry told senators Tuesday.

You can never go wrong, doing the opposite of what John Kerry says. Being against this stupid policy, however, means that I’m on the same side of the issue as those wretched Code Pink hippies.

    That’s an excellent casus belli. Call it “Operation Spite Hippies.” The landing beaches could be named “Haight-Ashbury,” and “Berkeley.” The Communication electronics operating instructions would have call signs like “Chicago ’68,” and “Hiss.”

    I’d want Zer0 to lose too, if it weren’t our guys in harms way. The problem is, if Zer0 gets us in, there will be no way out, and they haven’t even given that any thought. The imponderables are what’s scary.

    I’d go for about 5 or 6 PGMs with ToT execution while the Congresscritters are in joint session. It would the most effective strike in the interests of the US that could possibly be made.

    Your pardon, Bob, a minor quibble: I think he’s made it abundantly clear that he is genuinely quite concerned with and sympathetic to the interests of Islamic supremacists.

    Code Pink is just providing top cover for Dems so they can, with heavy heart and for the children, vote to bomb Syria. Code Pink doesn’t protest until they got green in the bank.

    Most of these protesting now are one the loonies the Left just winds up and lets loose, knowing they can’t control them. The “organized” peace movement was a manufactured fiction from the word go.
