The U.S. Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea positioned within range of targets inside Syria, as well as U.S. warplanes in the region, Hagel said in an interview with BBC television. Hagel also predicted that U.S. intelligence agencies would soon conclude that last week's deadly attack on civilians in a Damascus suburb was a chemical attack by Bashar Assad's government. Here we go again.

We’re in capable hands. I feel secure that Chuck Hagel, John Kerry and Barack Obama know what they are doing

“Countdown to the big Fustercluck.”

This just stinks to high heaven.

There’s a Libya/Benghazi connection here someplace.

US intelligence will conclude? What if the UN Weapons Inspectors don’t “conclude”?

“”Hagel also predicted that U.S. intelligence agencies would soon conclude that last week’s deadly attack on civilians in a Damascus suburb was a chemical attack””

WOW! Brilliant. They’re going to make the facts fit their conclusion? Why bother telling us there’s an investigation?

If the Speaker of the House doesn't hold this phony occupier of the oval office to the requirements of the Constitution with regard to war powers, the members of the House should immediately replace him with someone who will.

GOP Reps ... you made an oath to serve the Constitution.

Will Hagel be in the dock at the next war crimes trial? Launching a war of aggression based on false flag operation is a war crime.

Pentagon extends benefits, including marriage leave, to same-sex military families

Note: this is up to 10 days of "free", unearned leave, over and above what any heterosexual member of the military would be provided to get married - that would have to be on the member's own leave schedule that they earned

Most people I know who converted to Islam keep asking Arabs about multiple brides and other perversions. It is so obvious, the perversion, but libs love it. Sickos behind high words is what they are.

For myself, I can only thank God none of my children will have to be involved in the whims of these puppet masters. I pray for those parents that do have children in harm’s way, especially for so useless and pointless a cause at the hands of people that do not understand patriotism, freedom, faith or humility.

In a situation where both sides are your enemy, it’s best to not get involved. The same could have been said for intervention in Libya.
