Stop The Damn Wars, Stop The Damn Bombings, Congress Vote Down Obama’s War Resolution On ISIS (And Whatever Resolution He Or The Next War President Brings Forth For The Next War)

 

If you look closely, hell, if you just look at the visual, an old stick-on “button” that I have been wearing for years, that accompanies this sketch you will notice that it is ragged with wear, has been through a lot of hard times over the past decade or so but the message still rings true, still needs to be proclaimed like never before. The latest installment on the war front as I write this in February 2015 is, no, war fronts are the very real likelihood that Obama will get a resolution through Congress to go full-bore on the ISIS front (he says not including ground troops, or really no additional ground troops since he has snuck a couple of thousand in as “advisers” already but we should be very wary on that sneaky front) AND some kind of stepped-up military engagement in Ukraine. This from a “peace” President (an oxymoron in the United States and a few other countries) who has actually won the Nobel Peace Prize if you can believe that by this unconventionally bellicose man. So you can image what the other guys, the Republicans are up to, are ready to go hammer and tong on (beside Obamacare which is played out).

So, yes, I am a non-partisan, I willingly go after both parties, on the issues of war and peace and have been doing so since I got “religion” after my service during the Vietnam War, another war that proved nothing, we were consciously lied to about, and one that almost tore the United States apart including near mutiny in the Army. Make no mistake I hold, and those I know who I have worked with lately in Veterans For Peace and the umbrella nation organization United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC) where I long ago got the stick-on button which has seen much wear, hold no truck with ISIS, none for those savages.

But that is a long way from assuming that the United States, which one way or another has “created” ISIS (and on the other “front” aided the fascist-supported coup in Ukraine which has exploded in its face), should be bombing and threatening ground troops in situations where who knows what the hell is going on. Off the recent track record in the failed state of Iraq, the failed state in Libya, the nearly failed state in Syria (I am still looking for those “moderate” anti-ISIS forces that the United States is trying to supply in Syria) and the also nearly failed state in Ukraine all of which have the fingerprints of American involvement over them the beginning of wisdom is to oppose further military involvement. Hands Off Syria! No New War In Iraq! Stop The Bombings and Drone Attacks! No Military Aid to Ukraine….and that is just for starters.
