Our boy Allen West is at it again-wading knee deep in to the mud of hypocrisy.
The House on Thursday narrowly shot down an amendment to scale back military operations in Afghanistan, highlighting growing congressional opposition to the war.
In a close 204-215 vote, the House rejected a bipartisan amendment from Reps. James McGovern (D-Mass.) and Justin Amash (R-Mich.) that would have required the Department of Defense (DOD) to develop a plan for an “accelerated transition of military operations to Afghan authorities.”
Twenty-six Republicans voted in favor of the accelerated transition, and all but eight Democrats supported the amendment, which supporters stressed was a plan to speed up the withdrawal, not an immediate requirement to withdraw forces.
Rep Allen West (Jackass-FL) seemed to think that his fellow Congressman need remedial training:Asked about efforts to curb U.S. involvement, West said, “I would take these gentlemen over and let them get shot at a few times and maybe they’d have a different opinion.”
Really? Do the get to go over there the way West did-as a highly paid contractor? ( His Army career having come to a quick and ignomius end.). Or do the go as a not paid well enough American soldier?
I’m not sure how that changes anyone’s mind-it might actually make more people vote against the war, to keep other Americans from getting shot at for no purpose.
Allen West is an idiot. Somewhere there is a sentence with the words, “Go” and “yourself” just dying to get out-in reference to our boy Allen.
