I once tried a limited strike on a skinny little guy in a bar. I broke a chair over his head, and then sat down and finished my drink. He, of course, appreciated the limited nature of my strike, and didn’t whip out a shiv and go nuts on my face with it./Fake story.

Maybe he can bomb some tents and aspirin dispensaries in the Sudan.

O’Reilly was contradicted by both Ralph Peters and David Hunt when he tried to argue Obama’a POV. They were on together although in different locations and they made him look ridiculous.

BOTH of them refused to assume the notion that it has been proven that the Syrian government deployed the chemical weapons, which is what BOR tried to assume.

He began to get kind of frantic and was reduced to accusing them over and over that “neither of you trust your own government”, then, because your own government says it was the Syrian Regime.

Which only made him look more clueless - say WHAT?? We don’t trust the government?? DUH! That’s supposed to be a BAD thing on our part??

I didn’t watch ‘til the end but apparently he had Krauthammer on later to back up his position against Peters and Hunt.

Several retired U.S. military leaders have sent a letter to the President urging him not to use military force in Syria and at the minimum consult with Congress to get a declaration of war or use of military force authorization before starting anything.

"For the Syrian Government to use chemical weapons on its people will change my calculus..."

I never took calculus in school. Apparently, all that crazy math he did adds up to the magic number of 2 (and sometimes 17 trillion).

Obama knows that AQ used chemical weapons on their own people, but he has to do something to Assad to avoid looking like the limp wrist that he is.

Exactly!

Israels enemies are in disarray and we act like we need to do something. Is that because the obama tribe feels the same?

I actually understand PRECISELY why this was leaked, by the administration, up to and including the precise weapons loadout and the duration of the attack:

Obama backed himself into a corner.

He doesn’t want to do this (it’s polling poorly) yet he committed to the Muslim Brotherhood he would.

He wants to keep his chops with the Caliphate crowd, he loves them so dearly. Yet he doesn’t want to start a true world war (yet, anyways) and he doesn’t want to lose more people prior to the 2014 elections (after those, by the way, all bets are off).

With a leaked attack, he gets to keep his street-cred with the Muslim Brotherhood, yet feel no backlash, abroad or at home.

Under what authorization could Obama use military action against Syria?

Obama needs impeached. The Repub leadership is scared to do it because they made a deal with the “powers that be” and the devil. They agreed not to impeach the next Democrat if the Dems wouldn’t impeach Bush. The whole crooked Congressional shebang is a political see-saw of crooked politicians protecting each others backside but stabbing the people in the back. They protect the status quo and those that own them, as they allow quasi dictators to steal our rights and take care of their cronies. We need a third Party.

Many of those czars now in powerful positions in the USA government oddly are relative newcomers to the USA, but of Russian Communist heritage. That’s where they learned the ropes on how to manipulate us.

Oh you noticed the Dem silence. They were hoping you wouldn’t notice. They are at the moment desperately trying to find ways that this is right and W’s action in Iraq was wrong.

Maybe one of those little three-column charts will appear in one of the print lackeys with the action in the middle column and the left and right columns showing the difference between the evil Bush and Saint Obama.
