Just three Republicans voted for a military
attack on Syria in the vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They
were Senators Flake, McCain and Corker. The largely partisan vote had loads of
hawkish Democrats voting to roll the dice on expanding the conflict and chaos
in Syria. Those Democrats were Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and
Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) , Barbara
Boxer (D-Calif.), Christopher Coons (D-Del.), Benjamin Cardin (D-Md.)
and Richard Durbin (D-Ill.).
Evidently with the war scheduled to wind down
in Afghanistan for the U.S. military in 2014 the Democrats are looking for
another place to beginning spending billions of dollars for war. Consistent
with Obama policy of enriching the rich on Wall Street in order to concentrate
wealth and develop a better, more effective global plutocracy, increasing the
public debt and letting the plutocracy pull the strings on federal budget
priorities can be serviced through foreign wars that don't produce much of benefit
to Americans.
When the U.S. electorate is a sycophant of a
government effectively bought and paid for by the Plutocracy the military can
be exploited as a tool for implementing plutocratic global policy objectives.
Secretary of State (Heinz) Kerry could not possibly even seek war crimes
charges against the Assad regime instead of U.S. vigilante action, because that
might not bring a regime change sought by his Plutocrat confreres.
