    Re: Global War on Terror Version 6 - Perpetual Motion Machine

    So glad we're going to stay in a constant war. So afraid of ISIS. So want to avenge the deaths of people who voluntarily travel to hell when they don't have to.

      The president is doing everything he can now to stick it to Hilary.

        Not so sure about that. 1. She's not elected yet. 2. Congress will have a very tough vote in 3 years if it passes as its constructed.

        Course, Congress is a bunch of wimps anyway who spend all day beating war drums and yet never make any hard decisions or have real debates on real facts.

          Which is why they can. We could improve the foreign policy of this country immensely by (1) prohibiting the president from sending troops anywhere without an explicit declaration of war by Congress with a thoroughly description of the mission, the victory conditions, the mechanism by which the cost will be accounted for and borne, and any limitations on the war's prosecution, and (2) drafting the 1% into the infantry.

            The full bore ISIS move still seems odd and not a good bargain for the US. It wouldn't surprise me if this is a backroom deal. As in...we agree to go after ISIS (for the Saudis/middle east) and the Saudis/middle east keep oil prices low putting the screws to Russia.

              On the latter, it's in your head. You've got an idée fixe that Obama is a secular elitist who runs down the poor Christian victims every chance he gets, and you grab onto every righty meme reinforcing that narrative. In the world where the sky is blue (well, gray today, ironically) Obama seems like a typical educated American Christian who also knows a thing or two about history.

                  I can understand the confusion. Some of those 1950's habits DO look like burquas.

                      Your post explaining away Obama's constant efforts to cozy with Islam while poking at Christianity gave your impressions of things, but facts they are not.

                        The historical facts Obama cited are not in dispute. Facts aren't "poking." It may offend the Christian PC Police, but it's history, deal with it.

                        Did you ever think that maybe your impression that Obama is "constantly" doing these things has a lot to do with where you get your news and how you process it?

                          Yes, the Crusades did happen if that's what you are trying to say. Nobody ever said otherwise, did they? The fact that something is brought up in a certain setting in a certain way certainly can done in a poking way. To say otherwise is silly.

                          Obama has a long history of this. But, I guess Obama supporters spin everything to try to make him look good.

                                OK. Let's stick to the words that led to this little discussion, Bob.

                                "And lest we get on our high horse ... remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."

                                I doubt you question the absolute truth of any of that. In fact, some would say those words are just another way of saying "Let he who is without sin . . . ." Yet you essentially state that those words are "outrageous." Why?

                                Try not to hide behind the cloak of vague generalizations that cannot be questioned and do not require defense. Step up.
