AUMF debate...who would have thought that a Democrat gal from Hawaii would show more intelligence than a sitting SecDef?
Carter got a hint of just how difficult it may be to sell Congress on such legislation when Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) suggested that Obama’s decision to place American fighter jets equipped “to target Russian planes” on the border between Turkey and Syria, and his stated opposition to Russian-backed Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, could lead the U.S. into a nuclear war with Vladimir Putin’s regime.
“Russia’s installation of their anti-aircraft missile-defense system increases that possibility of — whether it’s intentional or even an accidental event — where one side may shoot down the other side’s plane,” Gabbard told Carter. “And that’s really where the potential is for this devastating nuclear war.” Carter characterized the U.S. disagreement with Russia as a diplomatic problem, not a military danger. “We have a different view, a very different view from Russia about what would be constructive for them to do in Syria,” he said. “That’s not the same as the United States and Russia clashing.”

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/427839/tulsi-gabbard-obama-risks-nuclear-war-russiaGood God! These stupid fothermuckers are going to frick us all in the azz! How effing stupid and ignorant of world/military history are these effing Obamites? And these REMFs at the Pentagon and in the field listening to any of this sh*t? WTF?!
The best thing we could do is to give material support to the Peshmerga, let Russia do whatever the frick it wants to do in Syria and smack Daesh as hard as they want, all the other BS about Assad and energy can be dealt with later. But no, these Obamites are helping ISIS because they cannot tell a bad guy from a worse guy and they are so focused on Assad and Putin they cannot see straight...mostly because comparing Obama to Putin is like comparing a gay Cornish Game Hen to a ravenous Wolf. Who gives a frick about the Hen?
And I guess we'll see how effing crazy that schmuck Erdogan is...if he
invokes Article 21 of Montreux and closes the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, we could see stuff go full-retard.
I don't trust Putin and I despise his Soviet-like totalitarian impulses...and I don't care much for Assad...but Obama and his merry band of fairies is out-matched and pressing stupidly into the dark is only going to ensure things go from sh*tty to hellish.
