those who believe that war is the solution to everything. Any leader who wants to take the country to war should be required to lead the troops into battle, along with HIS/HER children and other loved ones.

That is how it used to be.

In today's 'home of the brave', such a rule would probably eliminate all suggestions of war as a solution to every problem.

Why is it our brave young men and women have to risk their lives and/or die for the Military Industrial Complex and oil corporations?

any kind of risk.

You wonder where that kind of arrogance comes from.

I like the idea so much that I would like to send the Supreme Court, the President, the Vice President and the Cabinet. We'll toss in some federal jusdges, too, as long as they were appointed by a president (real or supposed) named Bush.

No kidding.

ouch

Thats a feature.

approval rating is somewhere between having explosive diarrhea and small pox.

And it can be highly entertaining in the right venue.

..

"In fact, 91 percent of those surveyed agreed that the active use of sarin gas attacks by the Syrian government would, if anything, only increase poll respondents’ desire to send Congress to Syria."

Thanks!!

so we need to provide them some remedial education opportunities

DURec!

see: Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, in particular Article 3 c) outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment

Subjecting the Syrian population to our Congress surely would fall under that

only because it is so true.

'it' up with all that free Viagra they get courtesy of that tax payer paid health insurance they get.

If they go in, they will have better coverage than the average GI gets.

should lead the way.

and I am sure McCain and Graham can lead the weapons check.

that is 60-70% republican. That would cause us much more trouble over the next 16 months than it is worth.

"Parachute? Sequestered out of the budget. Just try to hit the ground rolling."

Oh never mind

He'd depose himself by the end of the first day.

In fact that would be a great incentive.

And made me like it.
Thanks for the laugh.

this is something all of us could get behind

Inflicting our Congress on the people of another country would be a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Those corrupt, feckless fuckers are WMDs.

Since it's the only way we'll ever be rid of them, I enthusiastically volunteer my "brave" reps to lead the charge.

Especially with Boner hitting the mini bar.

It wouldn't be a week before they wanted to trade to get the sarin gas back...

I totally approve of the idea. I'd like to volunteer our Members of Parliament, including the Liberals, Bloq and NDP if thats what it took to get rid of the Harper Conservatives. Also why not toss in our bottom feeding senate, your bottom feeding senate, our chairman Harper and your ever hopeful for change President Obama.

If they are all antsy for a war, let them damn well fight it.

They'd probably immediately issue a formal complaint with the UN Security Council, citing ... we were okay with the cruise missiles, but dropping weapons of mass destruction on us violates every code of decency known to man

I didn't know it was the Onion.

I thought, "Well, given the choice the American people probably would send congress off to Syria."

Those who are so convinced it's the right thing to do need to be out in front with their own asses.

When and if they strike Syria, men, women and children will be affected by bombing. It's only fair that the Congress and their families see firsthand what they are inflicting on others..

'"Daddy" or "Mommy," why did you do this?'

was a good

A poll number I can believe in. To bad it is the Onion. But if they ran the numbers for real, I am sure they would match up.
