it’s taken a fair bit of restraint to keep my nose out of the situation in syria but i can no longer keep quiet. from my limited knowledge of the situation, figuring this out is a tough nut to crack but what the hell, not knowing all the facts has never stopped me in the past.
the death toll so far is estimated to be greater than 100,000 over the past year or two. there has been a fair bit of saber rattling amongst foreign countries whose criticism is basically along party lines as to who is to blame. the west and most of the affluent arab world seem to support the rebels while those nogoodnik commie bastards, their allies and iran along with the hardline enemies of israel appear to be backing the current administration of assad.
so over >100,000 people die and there is moral outrage but no rush to action. then 300 people are killed in what is rumored to be as a result of chemical weapons. it seems the west is perfectly fine with huge numbers of people being killed with conventional weapons. after all, conventional weapons are a product of the military industrial complex. but then 300 people are killed by weapons that were not produced or sold by the military industrial complex. black market weapons! well, jesus fuck me christ, it’s a crisis! we must take immediate action. lo and behold, the democrats and republicans appear able to make a deal in a few days whereas they have been unable to agree upon health care or budget items for at least 6 years!
so the way i see it, it’s ok to slaughter >100,000 people with internationally sanctioned weapons but you better don’t use weapons that we don’t produce or we will take action and our action will be supported by legitimate weapons clearly manufactured by the military industrial complex. by using these weapons, the united states will compensate the military industrial complex for the revenue lost by syria’s blatant use of black market weaponry.
so that’s it. if you’re gonna slaughter people, follow the fucking rules or you’ll pay the consequences. business is business and the rules are clear. a giant fucking bomb on a missile is not a weapon of mass destruction but a squirt of sarin is a weapon of mass destruction.
i love you sons of bitches.

You done it right. I can't add much except to note that 4000 Iran has a mutual defense pact with Syria, which provides the other reason they're hot to trot. McCain can't get that "Bomb Iran" song out of his head...
Not sure what's up with that loose 4000...
how severe of a recession would result from a global shut down of the arms industry? in 2011 the industry was very conservatively estimated to be 1.7 trillion.
How severe of a recession would result from a global turning away from the dollar as a means to purchase oil?
I just had a thought, our bombs destroys building and infrastructures, that our companies often go in to rebuild or replace, at a great profit to said companies.
I love my country, I hate the fucking people running it.
Despite over 60% of Americans being against a strike on Syria, congress is looking close to voting for war there because godfuckingdamnit we are going to give them fucking democracy.
Democracy: A sneaky for those that rule us to get us to think that we rule ourselves.
saddam was making a lot of noise about not accepting dollars for oil just before the invasion. coincidence? i think not.
and what does obama want to talk to putin about, gay rights!
pure posturing for votes back in the u.s. he doesn't give a shit about gay rights in russia.
Well, the military industrial complex Syria gets its conventional weapons from belongs to Russia, so by you're reasoning the Russians should be wanted to bomb Syria for using chemical weapons. The thing about chemical weapons is that they're outlawed by international conventions, so the West (i.e. Obama) looks weak if he doesn't take any punitive action against Assad.
GB, you are sniffing to many flowers, mate. Not that I blame you considering the circumstances.
But still, logic matters. Russia might profit by selling weapons to Syria, but McDonald Douglas, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. will profit handsomely from another war where we buy their treats. Nichts war?
Gas was banned after WW1, they claimed that it wiped out a whole generation of people, I find that hard to believe considering that there are so many of us now and the world is still reproducing like mad.
Maybe there are just those that don't like not being able to shoot at what they can't see?
also, russia is emboldened by the high oil prices. putin gets pretty cocky when oil prices are high.
my point is not to criticize the current outrage over chemical weapons, it's to criticize the lack of outrage over the >100,000 deaths and 2 million refugees.
the old james kirk would be able to solve this but i have no confidence in the new james kirk.
Which Bad Syria Option Do You Prefer? It’s complex. Oh well, it’s just a bunch of monkeys fucking around.
Navy Chief Calls US Ships Ready for Any Syria Plan.
Yup, our Navy is ready for action, they love to play with their toys and blow shit up.
Obama's airstrike will end up killing more civilians than the chemical attack.
Russian warships cross Bosphorus, en route to Syria...
If someone on either side pushes the wrong button things could get entertaining. We could use some fucking entertainment.
Wrong button, right button, it's all the same when it's over.
As long as there are blow jobs for all when it's over.
What's the fucking big deal here, Obomya has been droning down the Bad Guys for yrs uncounted with nary a peep from the peanut galleries.
Where the fuck does anyone think these sand fleas acquire all this happy shit?
Fick me running.
putin's hanging tough on syria at the g20 meeting and our beloved prime minister doesn't want to talk about syria.
putin might be the shortest guy there but thinks he's the biggest.
look what happened to egypt when the rebels were victorious and we were all basking in the glow of the arab spring.
the new leaders in egypt are slaughtering dissidents.
Putin no doubt has the biggest hairiest balls anywhere he goes.
Wouldn't Blowjobs for everyone would mean that some would HAVE to be reciprocal?
You down for that ?
Hahaha, "down for that"!
get it?
It's just how war works, the survivors get excited about living and screw, fuck, make love, whatever.
I told you before the elections that I was going to vote for Obama even though I knew that I was going to be disappointed in him.
Hahaha.
You just KNEW you were going to be disappointed in the Bullshitter but you were voting for him ANYWAY!
begging the question, " can one BE disappointed if one ANTICIPATES their so called "disappointment"?
Sort it out, Plato.
excellent question harry but what the fuck would a king care about shit like that.
It's hard to give a shit when your only option is to vote for what you think is the lessor of two idiots. Or not vote at all.
Actually, I do give a shit, for all the good it does me to give a shit.
In 2016 if a female runs I'm voting for her, I don't give a shit who she is, two years later the country won't like her but that is exactly the point I want to make.
pilgrim - it was just a question; but here's an even better one, who gives a fuck what any small capitol k king cares about?
BBC - nothing new in that. Voters always turn on their choice after a year or three.
What's the point again?
The point is that we're all fucked.
Obama declares Syria a national security threat….
That’s fucking bullshit, just because they gassed some of their own it doesn’t mean they can gas us. And even if they could U.S car sales are up, they can out run the gas. Hehehehehe
So we're all fucked. And this is news to whom exactly?
Nobody I know.
So get off Hilerys dick, she ain't gonna be in the running.
yeah, but some of us are fucked more than others. i like to think of myself as being mildly fucked.
Oh yeah? Mildly fucked is it now?
Do you remember your first BLOWJOB?
Bwahahah.
I'm not sure how fucked I am, random events produce random consequences.
we had a violent thunder storm that lasted a few hours. poor old ruby almost shit herself a few times.
thimscool erred,
"........but McDonald Douglas, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. will profit handsomely from another war where we buy their treats......."
Far be it for me to niggle, but there is no company named "McDonald Douglas". And the company, "McDonnell Douglas", to which I think you meant to refer, has not existed for 16 years.
Please to update your data base.
McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in August 1997 in a US$13 billion stock-swap. The name, "Boeing" survived, the name, "McDonnell Douglas" did not.
Speaking of Raytheon, The Tutor interviewed with Raytheon Canada Limited back in 1982(1) before accepting a job offer from Procter & Gamble Canada. Although Raytheon offered him more than P&G did (73K), he would have had to move to Ottawa to work for them. This was untenable.
(1) Funny enough, flying to Ottawa from Toronto on a DC-9-80, aka: MD 80, for the interview.
i hope general electric can make a few bucks on obama's excellent adventure.
Doesn't The Tater live in Ottawa now?
Billy, mate, some alarming, spot-on, thoroughly true, and sickening points, made, my friend. Another excellent and riveting blog.
If I knew the answers to these problems and how to prevent and solve them, then I'd be a happy man.
Unfortunately, I, like you, and others who care, have to suffer their plight too, amigo.
Yeah, it hurts and it fuckin' stinks, mate.
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Night!
Peace,
Steve...
very good to hear from you farmer giles, the king and i were starting to worry.
i don't know what the answer is to syria but i'm pretty sure that bombing the bejesus out of it isn't going to improve things.
maybe they'll call a cease fire while the world cup is being played.
Fair enough, ALTF. I guess I stopped giving a shit about that stuff the last time I turned down an offer.
Bunch of weasels.
Giving a shit makes ones brain hurt and gets one no where, I think I'll turn in early.
I have war fatigue. I'm sorry so many folks have died in Syria but I'm pretty sure if the U.S. intervenes the number of dead is going to increase a lot and for a long time. Have a good one BP.
thimscool constipatingly said,
"......I guess I stopped giving a shit about that stuff the last time I turned down an offer......."
These incessant offers of employment?
Are they good to get?
Or is it an annoyance?
The Tutor has not had an 'offer of employment' since 1985 - precisely 3 years after his very first 'offer of employment'.
He burned brightly and quickly faded into obscurity.
And there is no cause to insult the Mustelidae family - weasels, European polecats, stoats, ferrets, skunks, badgers, otters, wolverines and European minks.
Feel free to insult the "Minx" though, as in "Raymi The...."
To wit:
"Bunch of Raymi The Minxes"
What is that washed up cocksucker babbling about?
Leslie said,
"........Doesn't The Tater live in Ottawa now?......."
The "Tater" visited there recently. He is, however, off to Guantánamo, Republic of Cuba, to see his Guantanamera in a very short while.
Billy, WTF, why not just send BBC, Leslie and Aquiraans Leov To Fkuc, immediately out to Syria as intermediaries, and with the FULL backing and SUPPORT of the UN to try and resolve this hideous and ongoing humanitarian crisis.
This problem's beginning to 'Mess with my Zen thing, man'!
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Night.
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve/Utopia...
Interesting, I'm totally against getting involved, but never really looked at it from your perspective.
I think you're onto something!
Or on something.
Either way, it works.
farmer - i don't think the king would want to waste his time on a no win situation.
tex - i suspect netanyahoo has whispered in some captain of industry's ear who in turn gave obama his marching orders.
I don't care how Syrian's kill each other as long as they do.
I'm so tired of this bullshit.
These Old-Money Filthy-Rich cocksuckers are ALL about "reducing the surplus population", but somehow carpet-bombing another country & rolling the body count up to a million - according to their fucking lies - is supposed to "$ave the $yrian people!!"

Dam skippy!
He was blowing a bunch of rainbow-colored smoke up our ass.
well we have to do something about the surplus population and it's way to expensive to ship them to the moon.
russia has volunteered to look after syria's chemical weapons.
works for me.
I don't know, the way the US kills people it is pretty damn expensive. One of our multi million missiles may only kill half a dozen people but they sure do raise hell on buildings and infrastructures.
I say that we should leave the Syrians alone to kill each other, they can do it cheaper.
Pilgrim, what do you think of your government's purchase of Neiman Marcus? Can I expect a better selection in the ladies shoe department?
leslie - while that fool obama had his eyes on syria, we snuck in and grabbed marcus neiman! we're just lucky iceland went bankrupt and got out of the investment racket or they would have bid the price sky high.
you'll get the same shoes and a complimentary cup of tim hortons coffee.
Actually, it was the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board that purchased Neiman Marcus.
Regarding the shoe selection, let's hope so Leslie, 'cause if rich folks like you and The Tutor stop purchasing from the Neiman Marcus catalogue, poor pilgrim ain't gonna have a pension pot in which to piss in a couple of years.
The Tutor's latest acquisition from Neiman Marcus:
A Man Purse(1) and matching Carry-On(2). They're Hermes 'Calèche-express' valises. A '12h Document Holder' - CA $7,095.00 and a matching 'Petite Cabine Suitcase' - CA $7,425.00. He, of course, did not pay that much - he's a 'special customer'.
He believes that travelling, like all things, is just another opportunity to strike a pose. His on-the-go accessories are constitutive of his essence and must always be on-point. He has fabulous Gangnam Style!

The Tater is starting to resemble Merv Griffin, so his choice of murse comes as no surprise.
The Tutor likes Merv Griffin!
He invented Jeopardy!
The Tutor asked me to provide this link as a response to your inference that he resembles Merv Griffin. He insisted it not be a live hyperlink to keep the lazy cunts from bothering to view it.

Look at the date on that link! Post the current pic, Fatboy!
Guatemalan bus plunges off cliff, killing at least 43.....
That's more than one of our missiles might kill.
Carry on.....
