Strap them on, Speaker Boehner


House Speaker John Boehner claims that "somebody's boots" will have to be on the ground to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. He further claims that if the worthless Iraq army we've squandered the public treasure to train won't do it, then it's up to GI Joe. Boehner forgets we've run out of US boots to engage in endless criminal wars there because he's help send 7,000 pairs of US boots to an early grave in the two criminal wars he helped promote an...d fund to the ghastly tune of $3 trillion. Boehner's fine with letting the president bomb thousands to an early death in those two horrific killing fields even though a decent, law abiding Speaker would demand Congressional approval and oversight in a Constitutional world. But in the continuing Republican effort to portray the president as weak, Boehner plays the GOP 'tough guy' card that only Republicans know how to defend America. Alas, Boehner's proposal is simply even more senseless slaughter involving youthful American canon fodder. Since he's so adamant about US boots on the ground to slay our newest bogyman, Boehner should look in the mirror and decide that the "somebody" is the Speaker himself. That goes for every other US warmonger including the 'Terror Twins' Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham who promote endless war like mad men who should inhabit an insane asylum instead of Congress. If Speaker Boehner had to be the first to "strap them on", we'd see Congressional hearings faster than you could say, "Peace Now"!
