9% Back Syria Intervention

Well Kerry said it's "undeniable" so that's good enough for me! I am pretty sure I saw Colin Powell nodding his head along in the background, so come on, that's airtight. Airtight! Bombs away!

Right up there with Rummy's claim that "we know Saddam has WMD's...we know where they are"...this despite the fact they couldn't point out precisely where the "where" they kept talking about was.

I don't understand how he can make this determination without even waiting for the results of our own investigation )pre-determined though that one obviously is), no less the UN inspector's report.

I mean, you can offer an opinion, even a strong one, but an actual determination? And used as a basis for military action? Unbelievable.
 
You cannot gas people and kill them without repercussions. Assad should have bombed them with unmanned drones, then it would have been legal.

We're gonna do it anyway, so too bad, so sad. But don't forget - we live in a Democracy. What a joke this is.

From what I read elsewhere, Boehner has sent the message - no vote. So no way is Congress going to be held responsible for this, it's all on Obama and I guess we can't do anything about him anymore. He's never running for anything again. Great little system we've got here huh? Not that it matters. I've no doubt that if Obama decided he did need Congressional authorization (ah, the good ole days), he'd get it. How well I remember the wonderful days in NYC just prior to the IRaqi invasion. I was once almost caught in a Penn Station mob because they found someone's paper lunch bag containing a sandwhich on a train and shut it all down. What a scene. Luckily I was in the position to turn around, walk out, and stay the night in the city. The other poor bastards, not so much. And that was happening every day as Bush terrorized the people of this country with his "imminent chemical attack" warnings.

Obama would do no less. So if they need that 9% number up, they'll get it there. And the dupes will all go along, screaming in terror, run for your lives! Assad is going to release chemical weapons inside the United States, just like Saddam did! What's that? Saddam never released weapons, chemical or otherwise here? Well, close enough! HE almost did! I should know! I was there for the big sandwhich scare of 2003!

this is the inevitable result of the statists demanding that the government be stronger than the people.
 
Love me, Love me, Love me, I'm a Liberal
by Phil Ochs
From the album/CD “Phil Ochs In Concert (1966)

(spoken) In every American community you have varying shades of political opinion…one of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times; ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally. So here then is a lesson in safe logic:

I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine.
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine.
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.
(spoken) Get it?

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
(spoken) D.A.R that’s the Dykes of the American Revolution
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star.
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored.
And I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board.
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negroes
As long as they don't move next door.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

Ahh, the people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame.
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

Yes, I read “New Republic” and “Nation”
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew.
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I vote for the Democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong.
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing along.
And I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

Sure, once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin.
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns.
Ahh, but I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.
