They see Obama’s knees shaking. Of course they’ll ramp up the rhetoric and maybe use that famous of all famous threats (just as Saddam did):

“Don’t attack, it will be another...VIETNAM”!

YIKES!!! OH NO! NOT THAT!

OK, I will not attack, I will back down.

Let's see, we have two different groups of Muslims killing each other in large numbers - what should the USA do?

Sell bullets to both sides.

If the Russians and Chinese do nothing we still don’t need to insert ourselves in a war with no chance of being on a winning side.,

There is no winning side.

If the Muslim Brotherhood wins thousands of Christians will die. If Assad wins we still have a regime that is not our friend.

What the US needs to do is draw down what we are already involved in, and yes, we are involved.

Obama’s line in the sand is in chalk, it moves each night.

We don't have a regime in Washington that is our friend, and thousands of Christians are dying all across the Middle East and North Africa because of Obama.

When your enemies are killing each other, get out of the way.

"The Nobel Peace Prize winner is soon to bring us into WW3."

Nearly all Americans do not want involvement in Syria...but, but Bill O'Reilly sold...uh uhmm....said last night that it would be an "in and out" deal. You know, kind of like a peaceful bombing. Get it? No? Me neither.

The jokes on the Dems who voted for this front man, fascist government poser...but no one is laughing.

“Russia evacuates citizens ahead of military strikes”:

Russia has begun to evacuate its citizens from Syria, as its deputy prime minister stated that the West was acting in the Islamic world like.... “a monkey with a grenade”.
