U.S. to attack U.S. over chem weapons. The president has asked Congress to authorize an attack against the United States to punish it for it's repeated use of chemical weapons. (Barack Obama: Only 7 people have used Chemical Weapons since WW1: Hitler, Saddam, LBJ, Nixon, Bush 1, Bush 2, and some skinny black guy whose name I can't recall. The U.S. can't stand by as the U.S. behaves with impunity.) Target #1 for retaliatory strike: The Pentagon. (Barack Obama: This is where the Napalm and agent orange attacks against Vietnam originated. It's also the source of depleted Uranium attacks against Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as white phosphorus in Iraq.) Target #2: NYPD, LAPD, SFPD, and other big city Police Departments. (Barack Obama: These thugs repeatedly used chemical weapons, including tear gas, against their own people. Who uses pepper spray against peaceful protesters?!?) The president promises a limited strike with "no boots on the ground." (Police Officer: The contractors gave us some cool new chemical agents to try out.) (Barack Obama: Sounds good. Whatever it takes.)
