62 dead Syrian soldiers just a boo-boo to US war party

On September 17 US air strikes killed 62 Syrian soldiers and wounded over 100. The Pentagon trotted out their best Steve Martin mask, complete with arrow going thru the head and bellowed "Excuuuuse Me." This essentially derailed cooperation between the US and Russia to end the violence in Syria that has devastated that sorrowful land. Russia is aiding its neighbor and ally Syria defeat the terrorist rebels seeking overthrow of President Assad. Besides assisting the duly elected Syrian government, Russia has a vested interest in stopping Islamic terrorists on its doorstep. The US is also playing a double game here: stopping the advance of Islamic State while inflicting regime change in Syria with what it fantasizes are 'moderate' rebels. Memo to Uncle Sam: moderates in Syria don't exist. Much or our support goes to the very folks we are trying to eradicate. In Syria we're more truly interested in Syrian regime change and poking the Russian Bear than stopping Islamic State.  

The US has no business inflicting regime change on Syria and aiding terrorists in the process.  We have no business ratcheting up tensions with the only nation that could destroy us with nuclear weapons. Regime change in Afghanistan failed. Regime change in Iraq failed. Regime change in Libya failed. Regime change in Ukraine failed. But regime change in Syria will not only fail...it could lead to nuclear war. 

Forget the pig circus of a presidential campaign. Demand an end to America's failed interventions in the Middle East. Demand an end to demonizing Russia. Demand an end to control of every presidential administration, military and media by the war party.
