[FairfieldLife] Rep. Grayson: the military industrial complex wants the Syrian strike

2013-08-29 Thread Bhairitu

The progressive Democrat told CNN he was opposed to a U.S. military
strike against Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.

“The administration would have to explain why this affects some vital
American interest,” Grayson said. “I haven’t heard any discussion of
that at all. I think the only people who really want in to happen are
the military industrial complex. I just don’t understand how this
involves us, Americans.”

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/29/rep-grayson-on-syria-strike-military-industrial-complex-wants-it-americans-dont/

I heard Grayson this afternoon interviewed by Nicole Sandler. He
mentioned that Raytheon stock has been on the rise. Just follow the
money, people.

The UK Parliament has rejected an attacked. Obama seems to think he is a
dictator. Ain't it handy that Congress is on recess and probably why he
is anxious to attack ASAP before they come back. Obviously given
public opinion, Congress won't authorize it.

If he goes ahead I think we should demand his impeachment and trial for
war crimes.

That was funny dear Bob, not sure why she was doing that, I thought the
Goan Christians and Hindus got along pretty well - thanks for that. I have
only been to Goa once, my dad took me there when I was 3-4 years old. He
was in the Army - only 2 memories of Goa - of being out at the sea and once
waking up in the middle of night in the army style dormitory to find some
weird animal/human like creature dancing at the front of the hall. Scared
the hell out of me, closed my eyes and crept further towards my dad. I have
chalked up the origin of this mythical creature to the over-active
imagination of a 4 year old :-)
