Celebrating an American public and Congress that chose not to be bamboozled, hornswaggled, p-owned,

[Precisely]

Faux-noozed, buffaloed, snookered, Colinpowelled, punked, hoodwinked or humbugged.

The system worked. The people spoke. The President worked it. Congress worked it.

Something to celebrate on "Patriot Day."

1. FDR carried a "Big Stick"

The Peaceniks carry "no stick".

The threat of air strikes is what pushed the latest developments... so thank you for playing your part.

The Peaceniks have joined the Teabaggers, and now look weak on National Defense as well as Foreign Policy.

thank you for playing. Do NOT PASS GO. Do NOT COLLECT $200.

2. 'The Peaceniks have joined the Teabaggers'

Jesus Christ

[DontTreadOnMe]

3. Jesus?

7. Jesus, the peacenick teabagger nt

[Hell Hath No Fury]

6. Troll shit tends to stink

9. PeaceBagger! PutinSwooner! SnowdenLover!

uh...who am I forgetting?

OH! GreenwaldWorshipper!

[Precisely]

4. "Peaceniks"?

Hmmm. Boy. Did they pass out beads and headbands? I missed it. Send a memo to all the Iraq veterans groups and families that oppose sending more troops to war for oil. Teabaggers?!!!

Isn't it nice to see the system get a little work out once in a while, as if it means something?

Did you know in the new Monopoly, no one goes to Jail? Kinda like the folks holding that stick.

8. The "perpetual peaceniks".. opposite of the warmongers who want "perpetual war"

Headbands, beads, frisbees, hey maybe a 1969 VW bus!

Groovy.

FYI: Iraq is not Syria. Anyone who thinks every issue in the Middle East is about oil, didn't read history of the fighting in that region before the invention of the combustion engine.

[Precisely]

14. The issue is the reason that troops are sent and attitudes have shifted

Like it or not.

I don't know who these "perpetual peaceniks" are. Do you?

[Bluenorthwest]

15. I know the history and one striking aspects of fighting in that region prior to petrol

is the lack of participation by Americans or other 'westerners' in that fighting. Fancy that.

[Logical]

5. Keep thinking that. Make believe is fun sometimes. n-t

[DontTreadOnMe]

11. The "no war" strategy was not used, Obama went the other way.

It must burn you up that, here in reality, the Obama Big Stick policy worked.

It's not make believe. But keep posting.. I like exposing a misguided strategy that has given Dems the label of "weak of defense" for the last 30 years. We finally have a President that is the opposite.

Got Osama. Checkmate.

[Logical]

12. You have no evidence the "threat" did anything. He threatened to bomb, we threw a fit, he backed....

off and found another solution.

And he looked foolish doing it.

[Precisely]

16. That "misguided strategy"

was Republican

[Marr]

10. It's not over. I believe the President is scheduled to make a

pitch this evening.

13. "p-owned?"
