Kirk thankful for...more canon fodder for his criminal wars

My Senator Mark Kirk never misses a chance to promote the war party agenda. Finishing his 14th year in Congress, he's supported spending every one of the several trillion dollars for our endless criminal warfare in the Middle East. He's never criticized bellicose American militarism unless its to lament it's not aggressive enough.

His latest valentine to vicious militarism jumps out of his Thanksgiving Day message to constituents, "Why I'm Thankful This Holiday Season." Invoking his mom's request what he's thankful for, Kirk lists two things: first, serving Illinois in Congress and second, 'our troops serving overseas'.  Without them he says, 'the world would be far more dangerous and unpredictable.'

He should try telling that to the millions of folks in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen and Somalia who have been killed, injured or displaced by senseless American warfare. Kirk gets the big bucks from Uncle Sam to promote the interests of the war party pure and simple. He's never met a proposed military intervention he didn't love. America and the world have a lot less to be thankful war with promoters of endless war like Kirk. He's never learned, and apparently, after 14 years, he never will.
