"My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over ... Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men."

(The May 20, 2015 series finale of the Late Show with David Letterman was introduced by archival footage of Ford's speech, and prerecorded cameos of former Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and then-incumbent Barack Obama all saying, "our long national nightmare is over.")

This is what being World Police gets us, among other things
The binary choice is -
1) boots on the ground expending blood and treasure forever
2) abandon the Kurds to their fate
It is painfully obvious that #2 was inevitable.
Oh, look!
--- Just another hypocritical polemic abdicating responsibility for a disaster of their own creation.
You are no better than Trump. You are a wannabe Project for the New American Century (PNAC) hack, turning tail, running away, with hollow platitudes and false-flag misdirection.
What’s next for you? Saudi boot-licking in a PNAC proxy war? Been there – doing that.
America IS global law enforcement. Don’t be a coward. Take some dang responsibility for once in your life. That’s what patriots do …

I thought you purportedly were the smart guy in this bunch. The “binary choice,” my patootie.
For 50+ years the GOP kleptocracy has manipulated the DoD, and America, with this tripe. The Montagnards, Assad’s daddy, Saddam and OBL were “useful” blood-thirsty free-dumb fighters for Uncle Sugar – until they were Neander-Con casualties of war. Thanks to Ronald Ray-Guns, we are the World Police.
“See What You Get When You Think With Your Dick” Cheney, and Donald Rums-Failed (along with their good buddies, **The John’s** – Bolt-On and Poindexter) embraced this canard.
You. Can’t. Have. It. Both. Ways.
Spew crapola about “stop the terrorists overseas,” and then complain about the role of the global police? While doubling (tripling?) the global DoD/Spook footprint over the last 20 years, expanding the Pentagon base budget, while ‘slushing’ Overseas Contingency Operations?
Give me a break.
Protect the dang Peshmerga and the Kurds.
You obviously don’t follow me much. I suggest some catch-up remedial reading. Ask Jelly how to do it - he’s misread every post I’ve ever made about 5 times. Which is what you’ve done here.
I’m pointing out that the sudden sympathy for the Kurds (and now retroactively for the Montagnards!) is basically a feckless cunt litmus test
Let’s stop pretending we give a damn about the Kurds and admit that we just don’t like who’s abandoning them
