Just watched a Senate Armed Services committee hearing on Syria with McCain, Lieberman and Lindsey Graham with the other asshole members of the committee questioning Sec Def Panetta and the Chair, Joint Chiefs Gen Dempsey. Discussing or should say rather attempting to lie their way into a Syrian military intervention that the US public would buy. What a pack of lying no good son of a bitches.
It was clear from the start that these senators were trying to get Dempsey and Pannetta to agree with them on the whole “Assad is slaughtering his helpless people and there is no outside terrorist intervention funded by the West and in particular the USA. Dempsey (and Pannetta) shucked and jived when questioned directly and would not give straight answers to whether air strikes against the Syrian Army were doable and in fact Dempsey pointed out that the Syrian air defenses were 5 times more sophisticated and in numbers than Qaddafi had in Lybia and ten times more than they had in Serbia. For the record, we lost over two hundred aircraft bombing Serbia and Kosovo in 1999. When asked about the Russian’s involvement in Syria and the Russian naval base there, and Russian weapon deliveries, Dempsey would only answer those questions from the war mongering senators in so-called “Closed Sessions.”
Can’t have the Americans (whom this bunch of assholes were mugging the cameras and playing to the ignorance of the average US citizen, find out about all the Russian S-300 advanced air defense systems installed and operated by the Russians. Or the task force of Russian guided missile frigates and destroyers operating Syrian waters, 30 or forty new Russian combat aircraft or the Yakhonts, supersonic anti-ship missiles that can hit a ship almost two hundred miles away that the Syrians are now manning, just waiting for a US Carrier or other capitol ship to get within range.
No these assholes in the Senate in Particular and Washington in general think we are all as stupid as they are. If they think this theatrical bullshit show they put on Wednesday is going to convince the intelligent segment of the US population that we ought to be bombing and invading Syria and Iran right now, they are not only stupid but delusional.
Anybody hear about those babies being thrown out of their incubators onto the tile, hospital floors lately?
