Speaker tells Congress to give President what he wants for ISIS fight
Weepy, linguine-spined John Boehner told his colleagues in the House to give President what he wants in order to fight the ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State in Iraq and Syria according to the Washington Times. For once, I agree with him;
On Wednesday night, Mr. Obama asked Congress for money and authority to aid one faction of Syrian rebels who are battling against the Assad regime, the Islamic State and other Islamic militants. Mr. Boehner said they are “about to get run over” if they don’t get assistance.
But Mr. Boehner said arming the rebels and continuing U.S. airstrikes on targets is not a comprehensive or quick enough strategy to achieve the goal Mr. Obama laid out, which was to destroy the Islamic State.
It makes sense politically – if they don’t do that, they’re going to hear about it on the campaign trail – so they probably won’t do it. Republicans hate to win elections, for some reason, so they’ll probably fight the President tooth and nail, even though we all want to kill ISIS folks.
Also, this is Obama’s Iraq War and he needs to own it exclusively. Republicans shouldn’t give him an opportunity to share the blame with them.

Sure, let’s arm “moderates” so they can become extremists next year. I hope it’s not the same “moderates” that sold the journalist to ISIS, so they could saw his head off.
Also, Obama wanted to, and did, arm ISIS and claimed they were “moderates” at that time; so what could possibly go wrong?
We armed the Libyans as well. Obama is Islamic terror’s #1 lord of war.
When the United States government picks “moderate Muslims” it’s only a matter of time before they aren’t moderate and our enemy. They wanted to arm the free Syrian army which is now dissolved into the ranks of ISIS. We shouldn’t be arming any of those fucking religious shitlords.
We should watch them, see who’s left standing, then drone the piss out of them. Last thing we need to do is to try to play Islamic favorites again especially since Obama’s record regarding that has been so criminally negligent.
Do I even need to bring up Elizabeth O’Bagy again, how she was advocating that we arm Syrian terror group with US army, found out to be a complete fraud, then suddenly after being fired, re-hired by John Bat-shit-crazy McCain for his personal staff?
Get real. I wouldn’t trust Obama with nerf gun distribution at a birthday party. Somehow the Muslim Brotherhood would end up with them and we’d trade Gitmo terrorists for a piece of cake.
As far as owning it, they never will. They will lie and say they didn’t want it and never voted for it, and the press will play right along with them. Just like Joe Biden at the VP debate, “I didn’t vote for the war and to fund it by putting it on our credit card.” Yes you did Joe, you fucking liar.
Actually Linguine is often served al dente Speaker Boehner’s spine is not now and quite possible never has been, al dente….it’s a bit more flaccid if you will….
He’s in Congress. I’m pretty sure that part of the inprocessing includes surgical removal of any traces of spine that might remain prior to being sworn in.
I think they remove something else as well, it would explain why a lot of those guys heavy up and don’t hunt anymore….
Well, the term ‘at war with ISIL’ is now officialy part of the meme. GEN Allen is being brought back to direct it.
So, anyone want to take odds on how long before deployments start?
Look at it this way: all the PC crap going on to ‘equalize’ everyone will make the people who want that look as stupid as they truly are.
