Hey, We Progressives Won Something.
Two months ago, we were told that if the United States did not attack Syria, we would see a new era of chemical weapons warfare.
Yet here is last week's Reuters headline: "Syria Meets Deadline To Destroy Chemical Production Facilities."
Let's celebrate.
Let's celebrate the war that never happened.
Let's celebrate NOT having to hold sad and somber funerals for young Americans who would have lost their lives fighting in Syria.
Let's celebrate NOT having to nurse and care for the wounded veterans who would have returned from the U.S.-Syrian war.
Let's celebrate Congress NOT having to appropriate billions of tax dollars in emergency spending to support U.S. military operations in Syria.
Let's celebrate NOT having to attend bitter marches protesting the U.S. war in Syria.
Let's celebrate NOT having to rebuild Syria's roads and bridges and schools, so that we can have a shot at rebuilding our own.
Let's celebrate peace.
We won the battle, and the military-industrial complex lost the war.
.... bunch of blah blah blah drivel.....
Peace won. Lives were saved. Thanks to you. Good job!
We progressives, each one of us, we have a head, a heart and a spine. We can win. We will win.
Peace,
Rep. Alan Grayson
P.S. If you like what we've done so far, we can accomplish even more together. If you haven't signed up already, then please become a $25/month sustainer of our campaign. Help make sure that our voices won't be silenced. Help make sure that we can continue to fight for justice, equality and . . . peace.

One thing that was clear from Obama, Kerry, Hagel etc was that there was NO intent at all of committing American soldiers - something needed to make this mailing accurate. Pretty obnoxious to raise money on lies.

10. Grayson also said 'Let Allah sort them Out'
saying that sister Sarah was right about that one thing.
wtf. I just don't like this guy. He has got a nasty mouth and his hand open all the time for money doesn't help either.

Maybe no intent but with the SCFOAMF we have in charge boots on the ground was going to happen due to sure ineptness.

The key word was "intend". Progressives never intend to cause all the bad shit they perpetrate and, of course, they never accept responsibility.

They eat their own so fast. I hope Grayson gets his ass handed to him next year.

Yes, thank you very much Vlad Putin for saving the USA from the war mongers Obama and Kerry.
