Oh, yeah, let's go to war!! November 24, 2015 6:27 pm bowser

Turkey is in NATO, and the US is obligated to stand by a NATO member who is attacked.  There is no good reason to go to war over the Middle East, no matter what Conservatives claim.  Especially on the side of those who kill helpless pilots dangling from a parachute.

Let the oil companies hire Blackwater, but don’t send poor Americans to die and be maimed, maybe nuked, over the Middle East.

And once the escalation starts, it could well mean nukes flying over oceans.

None of it is worth it.  At all.  The oil companies be damned.
