Syria? Really? Oy vey

Syrian "Rebel" Fighter Eating Another
Soldier's Innards

Oh dear god, my tirade begins: 

“For fifty years, they are companions to corruption,” he said. “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.”
—Syrian "Rebel" (who, I suppose, thinks he's in an episode of "Game of Thrones." (Spoiler alert: he proceeded to shoot his prey in the head after making this gory pronouncement.)

Thanks, in part, to the above lunatic "rebel" soldier and this week's video of the opposition rebel eating—yes eating—his victim's heart and liver hot, right out of the freshly-killed chest cavity of his "enemy," I'm having my doubts the U.S. should give these folks arms and bombs.

The Untold Story? My paranoid waking dream? 

I'm willing to bet the military industrial complex is pressuring Obama, Pelosi, McCain, and Boehner to help them find money outside of the sequester. The sequester pinch is finally beginning to hurt the defense industry, and they want their pound of flesh. 

They need to finance their huge salaries (Fairfax County just outside D.C. is one of the richest in the country, and home to the largest number of defense contractors in the nation) and justify opening government coffers to prop up their expense accounts. 

And even better, no one can articulate what "winning" in Syria would even look like. So it could go on forever. That's a whole lotta money for the Military Industrial Complex to digest.

Fact is, the "takers" wanna take, and are smart enough to know how to get it...through war mongering. If only Romney had figured out who the REAL "takers" were. Look no further than the war industry executives who will officially have THREE wars running simultaneously in the name of making the world safe for...

• uh...was it democracy? 
• freedom of religion? 
• human rights?

Which was it again?
