So, the Golfer-in-Chief is going to send young men into harms way not to acheive a military objective, but in order to send some sort of “message,” but not too harsh a “message,” and one not clearly related to the national security interests of the US, but one premised on what’s left of the Great Golfers acumen and credibility?
Well, that’s just swell.

Mock them! We have found an achilles heel. Mock, mock, mock the White House! Rules for Radical #5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon.
Hey, Obama, congratulations for providing al-Qaeda an Air Force. Apparently you killed bin Ladin not to defeat al-Qaeda but rather to make a slot in their org chart for yourself.

Why are we involved in Syria at all? What makes chemical weapons worse than if Syrian government had dropped a daisy cutter on the rebels?
Also - aren’t the rebels Al Qaeda? Why are we on EITHER of their sides? As far as I am concerned, if two enemies want to kill each other we should let them!

Mock, mock, mock the White House!...Actually, we don’t have to. They do a REAL good job of it themselves.

Makes you wonder what the Syrian response will be. Will it be “just muscular enough not to get mocked?”

West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade.
I heard Dmitri is working on a spoof of a Peter Gabriel song,,but the new song will be called Mock the Monkey

Sounds like it could be a global hit.

The hubris coming from this crew is astounding... The Syrians (and the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians) will get a “vote” on the out come and they may be laying a trap with a very big surprise. I hope the Air bases in Cyprus have full AAW and counter ballistic missile coverage. The overhead assets will be locating all shipping in the eastern MED and the data may get to the CDASMs fast enough for targeting. Sinking a US warship would leave Obama looking like a fool which is certainly on Putin's wish list. Women and children are going to be concentrated around potential TLAM targets so the Chicago Jesus can get a personal lesson in 4th generational warfare.
Stand by... this will be ugly.

"They are looking at what is just enough to mean something, just enough to be more than symbolic." Then a strongly worded letter would be perfect.

We have had limited wars, now we want limited strikes.
BULL, BULL, BULL
Either go whole hog or stay the hell out of it.
My vote is stay the hell out of it.
The clown at the rodeo was a lot smarter than the clown in the White House.
