Graham's Plan

Lindsey Graham said if he were president he would send the military to force congress to increase the military budget. He seems to feel we need a much more powerful military. Cotton and fellow Republican senators sent a letter to Iran saying no deal, no way. Israel wants the United States to use military action and no negotiations. Remember, Cheney and Romney sold the notion to George that they could nation-build seven countries in five years with military force. The Middle East would just love to be Christian right wing democracies. The notion didn’t work even if George did land on a carrier and proclaim mission accomplished. Here we are over ten years later with even more unrest in the Middle East than there was. The Republicans just can’t let the idea of controlling the world go. This is just my opinion, but if Graham would use the military to control Congress than why can’t the President send in the troops to clean out the obstructionist Republicans.

It all started in 50's when the right decided that war was good for business. We all remember the first refusal of ending the Korean war in haste. You know when we pushed them to he sea and they brought in the Chinese while washington stood around with their head up their arse. We didn't listen to our military staff and ended up with a imaginary line! Those of us old enough swore we would never go to war again unless it was to win. And that was the countries majority until "Nam" came along! Then we invented another imaginary line! I didn't forget the bay of pigs -they tried to make that an issue but to many remembered "Korea".
We need to let the military be the last arm of diplomacy. And we need to let the world know if we unleash our military it will be to win! as fast as swift and as deadly as possible! Their will be no mercy for those enemies that created the reason for our actions(thats the money class who never seem to pay the price of blood) ! you see to many have lived after they have reign such destruction of life. Tore so many families apart. for profit.
