#1 jeebus. And to think, she's the "smarter" CA Democrat Senator

#2 Like the other 'gals', its OK to do it when its for 'humanitarian' purposes. They must have a deep need to fill a moral void they've developed in their lives. It's the same old 'guilt' game played out.

Ours is a national government for national interests, not the salve for the personal moral shortcomings of peoples.

We should have left the guy a stain on the desert floor for Lockerbie years ago. Mess with us and die. That's national interests.

#3 Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), usually considered one of the clearer Democratic thinkers on national security and the military in Congress.

Standards for clear thinking are much too low here. Maybe muddled thinking is a Democrat trait.

#4 We should have left the guy a stain on the desert floor for Lockerbie years ago. Mess with us and die. That's national interests.

We should have done the same for the Marine Corp bombing in Lebanon.

#6 Here's the record:

Woodrow Wilson (D) World War I
Franklin Roosevelt (D) World War II
Harry Truman (D) Korea
John F. Kennedy (D) Vietnam
George H.W. Bush, Sr. (R) Gulf War I
George W. Bush, Jr. (R) Iran and Afhanistan
Barack Obama (D) Lybia

Did I leave something out? Oh yeah:

Bill Clinton (D) Somalia (You talk about your stains.)

Democrats don't believe in peace. They say they do but they don't. For the most part they are a lot of godless bastards. They believe in getting their way no matter how they have to do it.

As for Feinstein being the "smarter" or "more responsible" or "less loonie" of the two California senators, I wouldn't bet on it.

#7 Dang! How could I forget?

Bill Clinton (D) Bosnia
Bill Clinton (D) Kosovo

What a guy...a real man of peace.

#8 Who was the Pres during Grenada and Panama?

#9 ..or Eisenhower in Lebanon. And nearly everybody at some point some where around the Caribbean. It gets back to the notion of having a limited size military to prevent the executive from engaging in adventures which was a fundamental principle of the Founding Fathers [just recently former Englishmen who had the distaste of Cromwell still in their heritage]. The problem is that similar to Rome after the Second Punic War, we were left after WWII with an international position and commitments for which the original Constitution of the nation was never intended for, but for which no one has yet stepped up and specifically addressed honestly because it is messy, will alter the Constitution and the balances between branches of government, and there is no perfect solution. This causes stresses and fractures in the base political model of the republic which only exacerbates the natural tensions inherit to multiparty systems.

#10 I'm not against "military adventures". I'm against losing.

#11 Yet another post-mens, lefty loon moonbat who hasn't the sense to poor piss from a boot if the directions were imprinted on the heel.

Ever see two men, or worse, a man and a woman quarreling in a bar? What was your inclination? That's right, stay the bloody hell out of it!

The world is a giant bar fight. Let's quickly finish our drink, find the back door, and get the hell out of there. Yes, it is tiny and remote, but Switerland has not been in a war in nearly 7oo years. They keep to themselves; stay out of other people's business; and let natural selection take care of business.

If somebody invades our space, we whack'em with everything we've got and get out! No apology, no nation building, no bullshi*. Are we so connected to the military industrial conflict that we can no longer function without getting involved in the killing ourselves? [rhetorical]

#12 "All we need to do is to, er, 'go in and arrest him'"
