The USA sells huge amounts of munitions ever day. EVERY DAY. These munitions go out across the world to operations to destabilize governments ALL THE TIME. The CIA is one of the most toxic entities to global stability in the world. When a journalist FINALLY steps in THE REAL WORLD and all that a political figure does is Mind Speak the issue, it shows in gigantic ways.
Politics is not reality and when people die due to the sale of American munitions while it is under the radar from the American people the LEAST that can be done is an accounting by some degree of intelligence in people that actually care more than political strategies.
Yes, there are 100,000 people, at least 100,000 people including children dead in Syria. They were NOT all killed by Assad and YES, the USA has a huge role in providing the munitions that assisted in the killing in Syria.
So Mr. Robert Gibbs needs to educate himself to what the real world is all about and not "The World According to Obama Politics."
"Are you implying the USA killed 100,000 people?"
Good question.
Hillary Clinton is the old regime, too. She is a hawk and backs wars by the USA that are wars of convenience. I doubt she has much to say that won't be anything but the same stupid assessment we have been hearing the entire time.
Wars should never be easy and certainly not this easy. There is absolutely no reason the USA has to have a 'holster ready' military cocked with the safety off. It is a hideous priority and there is no reason for Congress to legislate any action by the USA military now because it can be completed in the blink of an eye. Wars never should be taken lightly and that is exactly the problem here.
The idea the USA needs a DOD that is ONE FIFTH the USA national budget is the most grotesque image this country should have and to realize the USA fuels conflict globally is an outrage. Americans are no longer interested in 'living the lie." We know all to intimately how that translates. The answer is NO.
