Knee-jerk Isolationist Morons Make Things Worse

Miniature senator Rand Paul has written a totally dishonest "Dear Colleague" letter:

November 14, 2018
Dear Senate Colleague:
Tomorrow the Senate will vote to proceed to S.J. Res. 65, a resolution of disapproval that would block the sale of offensive weapons to Bahrain, a member of the Saudi-led coalition that has devastated Yemen. This vote is about more than weapons; this is a vote against the war in Yemen.

I love THIS part:

Last week, the United States military ceased operations to refuel Saudi combat aircraft engaged in the war in Yemen. This is a positive first step in our disengagement from the conflict.

Guess what the miniature senator was forced to admit?

However, according to Secretary of Defense Mattis, the United States was only providing this kind of support for twenty percent of their aircraft. Additionally, the Saudi Press Agency reported that the Saudi government itself requested an end to this support because they had developed their own capability and no longer needed American support. 

I learned of the miniature senator's dishonest letter from a dishonest pundit who got famous by displaying her giant knockers. She repeats the lie that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has killed thousands of civilians and brought the country to the brink of famine. There's no evidence of either claim. Unlike the lying pundit with giant knockers, I've thoroughly researched the war in Yemen. All you have to do is look at photos of hospital patients.

Over 90 percent of the patients are military aged males, and their injuries are consistent with combat-related wounds. As for the famine, we've been hearing this warning for almost four years.

Where's the famine? Why is it taking so long to get here? Is it on foot, walking across the Sahara?

Today's brainless isolationists are no different from the brainless isolationists of the past. Take Senator George Norris, who said this about the US entry into World War One.

Maybe YOU don't know this, but George Norris certainly did: Before the we entered the war, the Germans conducted BIOLOGICAL WARFARE in the US. They set up labs and infected our livestock with ANTHRAX. The anthrax cultures were brought in by German ambassador the the US Johann Heinrich Graf von Bernstorff.

The Germans also blew up ports and train yards. Do you know why the Statue of Liberty torch has been closed since July 30, 1916? Because the Germans blew up the Black Tom depot in Jersey City. This is the fragmentation damage to the Statue of Liberty that the Black Tom explosion caused.

The Germans also tried to assassinate Woodrow Wilson with a prussic-acid bomb–called "liquid fire" in those days. The Atchison Champion, December 1, 1915, front page, column six.

Finally, the Germans were arming and training Mexican raiders, who came across the border and killed American citizens.

Yet Senator George (hic) Norris voted AGAINST going to war, and then he claimed that everyone who supported the war did so out of stupidity or in bad faith.

GUESS WHAT?

Only three months after Norris slurred his way through his accusations, he demanded that the US go to war against Japan. Why?

Because he saw a photo of a terribly injured Chinese baby in Shanghai. It's a famous image, but I won't post it.

The twin realities are that we went to war against Germany after TWO YEARS of German terrorism in the US, and the Saudis went to war in Yemen after the Iran-backed Houthis took over most for the country. The Houthis are the Shia Islamic State. They claim a divine right to rule the world. This is their flag.
