US moves forces toward Syria
AP ^ | 8-24-13 | Bradley Klapper

Posted on 08/24/2013 7:04:53 PM PDT by Deathtomarxists

the Obama administration prepared for a possible military response by moving naval forces closer to Syria.

Obama discussed the situation in Syria by telephone with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the White House said. It was Obama's first known conversation with a foreign leader about Syria since the reports this week that hundreds of Syrians had been killed by the alleged chemical attack in a suburb of Damascus, the capital.

“This war was preplanned 12 years ago.
Please post a source for this important information.”

certainly everything that happens in this world had been planned for years. you just need to ask, why wouldn’t it be? that is the nature of the human race. its been true throughout history. the wealthy and the intellectuals have a need to impose their will on others.

especially after ww2, when it was said never again, people have been designing a world of control of the masses.
if you look at world events in the last 60 years, they fit that model.

I’m certainly 100% against getting involved in Syria, but I’m not about to share any of my ‘protest’ space with any grubby, dopehead hippie scum. They’re the Obama-voting idiots that helped turn this country into such a tyrannical cesspool. I’d just as soon ship them off to Syria to meet up with those “rebel” al-Qaeda jihadists that Obama so lovingly supports. And then see how many of them manage to get back with their heads still attached.


Good post. Find the side in the Middle East that hates the Christians/Jews the most and that seems to be the side Obama consistently supports.

We live in interesting times.

The quality of the men and women in American service is likely to decline.

Somebody please explain to me why we would send troops into a country led by a dictator who is no friend of the U.S. and is fighting against a group of Islamic terrorists who killed 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11/2001?

Well, the “US War Machine” has been preoccupied of late, with gay-pride festivities overseas, and serving up drag-queen groups stateside to promote “diversity.”

Count me as someone who no longer has much faith in our military. Not to mention, dwindling respect. When institutions embrace evil, the whole ball-game changes.

Because:

a. Our president is a Muslim sympathizer (if not a practicing Muslim) who is indebted to -- and a tool of -- the Muslim Brotherhood.

b. A certain prominent GOP Senator who has never seen a conflict that he thinks we shouldn't be involved in and is, for reasons known only to himself, gung-ho about Arab insurrectionists.

Thus, a "bi-partisan coalition" is formed...

Obama believes he is world dictator, not just POTUS. He only knows the true followers he has that will support him no matter want. He has no perception of reality.

So here we are 99 years later, and it’s August 1914 all over again.
