Washingtons war machine is geared up for limited strikes against Syria because Damascus ostensibly crossed a red line by using chemical weapons against its own population, never mind that many regimes worldwide inflict atrocities against their own people by other means.
Why a President who came to office on the strength of his anti-war credentials especially on the phoney war foisted on Iraq is running with the war hounds, is something of a mystery. But the rest of the Washington establishment is champing at the bit to unleash missiles on the Syrian regime, promising a short punitive strike, in keeping with the well-worn belief that America cannot live without a war.
It is a country made for war. Small detail:
Up until 1947, the defence department was called Department of War. By one count, the US has fought some 70 wars since its birth 234 years ago; at least 10 of them major conflicts.
We like war... we are good at it! the great, insightful comedian George Carlin said during the first Gulf War. We are not good at anything else anymore cant build a decent car or a television, cant give good education to the kids or health care to the old, but we can bomb the sh!t of out any country
Similar sentiments have been echoed more recently. Americas economy is a war economy. Not a manufacturing economy. Not an agricultural economy. Nor a service economy. Not even a consumer economy, business pundit Paul Farrell wrote during this Iraq War. Deep inside we love war. We want war. Need it. Relish it. Thrive on war. War is in our genes, deep in our DNA. War excites our economic brain. War drives our entrepreneurial spirit. War thrills the American soul. Oh just admit it, we have a love affair with war.
And so, US will be off to another (limited) war shortly.

And then what's not mentioned is the pressure from America's military-industrial complex to test and sell more weapons as well as the oil cartel controlled by the powerful Bilderbergs to maximize their profits from the sale of oil in a conflict - from ships to aircraft to land based platforms.
Like the phoney Iraq war, this latest one against Syria is perhaps just a few days away!
