NH Sen. Jeanne Shaheen displayed wrongheaded warmongering in her vote to militarily obliterate Syria in the fall of 2013. Shaheen was all too eager to once again promiscuously use U.S. military force without thinking about strategic and/or tactical consequences.
Like a drunk at a bar who has progressed from boisterous but tolerable to belligerence, Shaheen unthinkingly called for the dogs of war to slip their bounds. Shaheen was braying for death from above, courtesy of the U.S. military. Shaheen's irresponsible hyper-interventionist foreign policy vote disqualifies her to hold the office of U.S. senator.
Shaheen released a statement on her warmongering vote in the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee giving Pres. Obama the green light to drop bombs and fire missiles into Syria. Shaheen stated in part on September 4, 2013: "Authorizing the President to use military force anywhere in the world is a solemn and serious responsibility and the decision to undertake military action is not one I take lightly. Failing to take action against the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons poses a significant and direct threat to American national security interests."
Shaheen has not answered questions regarding exactly what the "significant and direct threat" of the Assad regime's alleged use of chemical weapons was or is to U.S. national interests. Since we did not launch an overt air campaign, presumably these threats remain. Shaheen will not do open town halls, so her reasoning that Syrians killing each other, by any methods, somehow jeopardizes U.S. national security remains unexplained.
Shaheen is blind to the clear and direct U.S. national security threat posed by Islamic refugees swimming, crawling, flopping, or scurrying out of the Middle East, Syria, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Shaheen might not have the brains to understand that Islamic residents of the Middle East and environs ought to be quarantined by military force.
The U.S. should immediately stop accepting any refugees, asylum seekers, or other immigrants from the Middle East and its Islamic environs. All Shaheen wants to do is drop some bombs and hope for the best. Shaheen is at this moment doing all she can to flood hundreds of thousands of refugees from Iraq into the U.S. Shaheen wants to bring thousands upon thousands of refugees and asylum seekers into New Hampshire.
Shaheen has cooked up a special visa to make sure that a flood tide of Iraq creatures pour into New Hampshire and the U.S. That is not very wise, nor is it in the best interests of U.S. national security.
Shaheen wants to bomb the Middle East and then bring the Islamic problems of that region into the U.S. Shaheen seems to have lost the ability to correctly scrutinize U.S. foreign policy actions and their aftermath.
The biggest threat to U.S. national security currently existent is brain-dead baby boomers such as Shaheen who want to initiate U.S. military actions overseas without thinking through the possible consequences of those actions. Baby boomer ex-Pres. Bush is the prime example.
Shaheen is at this moment trying to bring as many Islamic refugees as she can into New Hampshire and the U.S. Shaheen wants to get in the middle of foreign wars that do not directly or otherwise concern the U.S.
Drop the bombs and then drag in the refugees seems to be the foreign policy of Shaheen. Shaheen wants the U.S. to get bogged down in a part of the world that should only concern the U.S. in terms of resource extraction. Humanitarian interventionism or any other nonsense needs to be disregarded.
The U.S. should begin a program to send back as many refugees as possible from the Middle East. Against all common sense, insensate Shaheen inexplicably wants to flood hundreds of thousands of Islamic refugees into the U.S.
Shaheen is a coward who will not do town halls. Lack of wisdom mixed with cowardice is a bad combination. There is no method to understand Shaheen's thinking on her vote to bomb Syria because Shaheen is hiding from the voters. We may never know why Shaheen was so hot to trot to bomb Syria.
