#1 In fairness, in an interview yesterday Penetta did mention that he "wished we could have retained a residual force in Iraq".... or words to that effect. Evidently he's stumping a new book which he has written.

#2 It was too late right before they took down Quadaffi, but it made the Euro's happy.

#3 Too late when he failed to bomb Assad's forces a couple of years back.

Had he done that the Syrian war would be long over.

#5 so sayeth the Teabagger monkeys

Sorry to keep you waiting, Jerky. Suppertime. Paraphrasing your post:

"Teabagger monkeys in my soup
See them duck when I throw poop
Gosh oh gee, I'm smelling gas
Following 'Burgers to kiss their ass
In every bowl of soup I see
Teabagger monkeys watching me
I made 'em put me in their zoo
Those teabagger monkeys in my stew

When I get hold of the big bad apes
I just push them under to drown
They pop back up with a million japes
And I run and pout and frown

Teabagger monkeys in my head
Didn't even hear the words I said
I hope I entertained the troupe
Of Teabagger monkeys in my soup"
