Obama’s just the same

So the US needs another war and the world media swallows the story of chemical weapon use by the Assad regime

The terrorists in Syria needed help to topple Assad and get military intervention on their side of the conflict. The perfect solution for both was a chemical attack on civilians — any civilians.

Every US President needs a war to keep its massive arms industry going, but now more than ever before, the US employment needs a boost. We are about to witness another mess similar to Iraq and Afghanistan, and a conflict that will kill and maim thousands more civilians than the chemical weapons attack.

Manufacturing guns and bombs is big business, and if you cannot sell them, sooner or later you have to stop stockpiling them and lay people off.

Obama is no different than his predecessors when it comes to fixing the US economy.
