Past the point of no return, US Airstrikes Strikes On Syria Imminent

I completely understand everything you said, BAC. Fortunately, there will be no ground forces.
There may not be an attack either, rumor has it that Assad has fled to Iran.

The sad fact is that your daughter signed up voluntarily for the military, and for that she deserves the praise of every single man, woman and child of this nation. I know it upsets you terribly as a parent, but you have to trust everyone, especially the President, to make the decisions vital to the security of this country.

NO, I don't have to trust that warmongering fraud. Did you trust 'our president' when Bush was in office, or did you stand up for innocent people and truth? That's what I did, that's what I'm doing now.

My daughter was just one example of many, men and women in uniform .. whose lives I bet you cared more about than 'Oh well' when Bush was in office.

What necessitates the expense of moving men and equipment to Syria? What's the 'Rush to Judgement'?

Why all the bluster from Cheney and Wolfowitz .. I mean, Biden and Kerry?
 
It has already been decided.

Obama: U.S. Concluded Syrian Government Behind Chemical Weapons Attack

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says the U.S. has concluded that the Syrian government carried out a large-scale chemical weapons attack against civilians last week.

Obama says the U.S. has examined evidence and doesn't believe the opposition fighting the Syrian government possessed chemical weapons or the means to deliver them.

Obama says he hasn't made a decision about how the U.S. will respond.

The White House says it's planning a possible military response while seeking support from international partners. But the U.S. has not yet presented concrete proof of Syrian government involvement in the attack.

Some lawmakers are calling for Obama to seek congressional approval for a military action.

If you're bored there are probably 10,000 hours of the Syrian revolution on Youtube, and about 2x as many of the Libyan one.
 
The UK is pumping the brakes and won't go along with a strike until after the UN reports its findings. So, like I said, a bit premature.

with or without the UK; with oo without the UN; the USA is set on an unfailing course to war/intervention.

The UK will doubtless come along - they always do, part the coalition of the killing, if not -we'll just do it with France.

Or ourselves. The card has been played

I'm sure many think Obama is running this show.

He isn't.

Obama isn't running the show, making the decisions ?
What bs......
I know you hate to blame the O for anything but the rest of us KNOW he is responsible for
everything that has happened under his watch....just like every president before him....they were man enough
to accept the responsibility for their administrations from day one, not blaming the guy before him of the party OUT of power.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I thought the big issue that lots of people had was that the UN investigation was not yet complete, that there was a rush to judgment and that we were going to initiate air strikes imminently. That doesn't appear to be the case now.

But al least Obama isn't the first Black President, since BAC has classified him as a mulatto.

mulatto

Nick for a person of mixed heritage..namely of black and white...can be construed as a racist term but its not nearly as racist as the insecure fuckheads who try to force people of mixed heritage to identify as one or the other...as if our society is really that "black and white", so to speak.

Don't tell me race what to identify as. You don't fucking own me.

It's an issue for myself, can't speak for others -but not the big issue.

The big issue (for me) is it's a stupid move, it's more about Iran/Iraq (AQIR), then these weapons.

Doing anything there , i mean ANYTHING is so full of potential blowback, we don't really know how it will play out.

Better to just let the war run itself without our "help"
 
The Tomahawk Missile, brought to you by Raytheon, funded by the US taxpayer.

I read today the Tomahawk is the only thing keeping the Tuscon Raytheon plant open.

This has nothing to do with anything except the US weapons manufacturers.

I thought this was great:

Where is this pressure coming from? Strangely, that question doesn't even occur to a lot of news organizations. Take this CBS story. The very first sentence says, "The Obama administration faced new pressure Thursday to take action on Syria." New pressure from whom? The story proceeds as if it doesn't matter.

I'm just looking at the likelihood that Benghazi was a arms to rebels deal, not acknowledged. They were left to be decimated, much like the folks in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. Difference is, Kennedy owned that debacle, not seeing anything like that with Benghazi.

However, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, our friend, Russia is backing Assad, who may or may not be in Syria. He may be in Iran, the primo proxy of Russia.

With the most recent reports of the Saudis approaching the cash strapped Russian state, I'd say Putin has reasons to smile.

Now the question is, will Obama get tough and finesse as JFK did, or will he lob some missiles as Clinton?

Nobody has mentioned sending troops in and this is a far different situation than the lies that took us to Iraq.



Well, goddamn Whiz Kid, why don't you join the military and shape it up!

in bold, that is true unless the president is a Republican, then you second guess him, and call him names ,and say he lied.
