In a completely expected yet disappointing moment, a wide range of Democrat and Republican fools have united in support of war.
It’s hard to know precisely where to begin with this wrap-up as there is rampant stupidity on both sides of the political aisle but let’s start with a preposterous statement by Secretary of State John Kerry who said Congress Faces ‘Munich Moment’.

As the machinery for a U.S.-led military intervention in Syria gathers pace following last week’s chemical weapons attack, the U.S. and its allies may be targeting the wrong culprit.
Interviews with people in Damascus and Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, where the humanitarian agency Doctors Without Borders said at least 355 people had died last week from what it believed to be a neurotoxic agent, appear to indicate as much….
