DeVaughn in Blacksburg Virginia you're on the air
pay time how you doing I'm well how are you and very well beautiful day here
and appalachia and have a comment and then just a question that lingers in my
mind
is the comment would be if they're gonna go forward with this
it military action I'm
then concurrently they need to have reinstated raft
take up it seriously our our troops can not
handle this I'm without it
if and a you know in for a dime in for a dollar so let's do this so much to live
right
no exceptions for have been a Harvard four-way
and for around I'm not on a comp you know names but anyway we'll
I don't you think that concurrently underwrite and the other thing I don't
know if you know but
I'm trying to figure out if *** is considered a
chemical weapons and it seems like it's nine and I don't
there is some debate about that but yes we have
we have bombs that are filled with what is essentially *** that we have used
we have apparently used white phosphorous which is banned
arm you know it's it we are not to an end
you know right now we're selling cluster bombs week apparently use them
we were using depleted uranium we've we we aggressively is depleted uranium you
have to have so covered the
the country Iraq with depleted uranium is a result of our war efforts there
on during the bush administration times that
they're having the most severe epidemic love
serious birth defects have any nation on earth
right now on this a a No
a.m. in were running around yelling we are the moral arbiters of the world
we're going to enforce our moral judgment by dropping bombs on people
on it open the door as recently as vietnam in dropping what I guess is not
technically a chemical
weapon but Malaysian oranges is
I mean it's not poison gas for humans but it certainly was a defoliant
turns out that at all not get dioxin and i thought id it
you know there's there's generations Vietnamese were suffering DNA damage not
to mention american soldiers who were exposed to Agent Orange
and their children that's right have got a friend over in vietnam working for us.
Eide who
came out of the EPA to go work in vietnam on the dioxin
still plagues and there and that's just the point there's there's a price to be
paid for the wars that we've reached it goes
beyond even the dollars and applied to the
to the planet itself where we dropped these things and where we can make
these things in fact I would like to say that I don't not not only do I think
that we should not be
bombing a.m. anyplace in Syria there is going to be collateral damage
there will be a response we have no idea what their responses
what I what do we do if the response is that that to
Bashar al-assad decides to throw a bomb into the US embassy in Beirut for
example
or if he decides to throw a bomb into tel aviv on you know he is not without
resources or what if
what if the response is that Iran decides to to form force or what if the
response is an unofficial response like 9/11 was
night where you get hezballah you know blowing up the US embassy in Beirut or
going
you know in a big way after Israel and all the sudden this is the world war
once they're all of a sudden we are and whether we like it or not
is we've got these treaties so a I would not only say we should not be doing this
but
be I would say that you know months ago when we had this debate
and they've and the president Nick Curran administration said well at the
very least we're gonna give small arms were gonna give
you know shoulder-fired missiles and and machine guns and bullets and things to
the quote rebels
I think we should have said no at that point you do not pour gasoline
onto a fire straight ever there was a great so I remember putting out fire
with gasoline
it's totally insane and hes just flies in the face of what they're telling us
we're so program nannies who can afford health care we can afford to take care
for elderly
we can't afford schools we can afford roads and bridges said hey
let's go stick your nose in someone else's several workers we've got plenty
of people to spare
and money to burn evidently yeah it's crazy
Devgn thank you very much for the call very well said
