“Sounds like the stage is set for WWIII. Not worth it.”
So true. Kerry really blistered Assad in yesterday’s speech as though Assad were Hitler reincarnated. Then he and the Mahdi suggested nothing more than pin prick cruise missile strikes and assured us no further action was contemplated. That’s BS, the only purpose of which is to sucker congress into allowing a first step into the war. Once that step’s taken and, inevitably, fails, the Mahdi will say we have to “support the troops” and go all the way in on the side of Al Quadea and the Muslim Brotherhood. Then it’s off to the races.
He’s only talking about a “limited,, narrow attack” because he knows that’s the only way he can get the war started. Then, when that inevitably fails and Assad gives him the rigid digit, he’ll say we have to “support the troops” and go in all the way, just as he planned and wanted from the get go. The part of Kerry’s speech where he denounced Assad s a monster almost as bad as Hitler, without using Hitler’s name, was a dead giveaway as to where the Mahdi intends to take us.
In my personal stinky opinion, I could not care any less if we hit either side in Syria — it’s evil vs evil-er and the world would be a better place with fewer moose-limbs. And yes, I’ll paint the entire region with a broad-brush until they reform their homicidal-maniac breeding religion (bottom-up or top-down, no preference).
The only reservation I have is that 0bama will just poke the beast with a stick and piss it off, rather than *finally* setting the example by pounding them relentlessly until we either run out of munitions and/or they lack the means or will to retaliate.
It’s probably a good thing I’m not in charge...
What you say is, alas, plausible.
But, I have taken comfort in one thing. In the past, dictators intent on expanding through war have built up their militaries. Obama has done the opposite. He may very well want to lose (how treasonous is that) in the cause of setting up a caliphate, but that’s so devious he’d have to be a very smart, farsighted planner.
I give him and his cabal a high rating for skill in a legalistic, destructive community organizing sort of way, but they are complete babes in the land of military planning.
While I have little hope that Obama will get the impeachment he deserves, I would think many Democrats are beginning to have their doubts about Dear Leader. The growing unpopularity of Obamacare and now Obama committing US forces for some highly unpopular mission in Syria without Congressional authorization or even support of allies or the UN, should give Democrats up for re-elction in 2014 a lot of apprehension.
Keep in mind the date and legislative rationale behind the War Powers Resolution:
1973, and the Congress set forth in the act that an executive could act only
because of a national emergency
following an attack upon the United States.
The ten years of fighting in Vietnam was begun in earnest following the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.
The WPR does not contemplate, IMHO, an imprudent CICh squeezing off a cruise missile (or a few dozen missiles) just because—like Henry VIII and his death warrants—he feels like doing it.
Go ahead, Barry—make our day you POS.
Bolton and a few others who are “in the know” have said similar. Looks like one of the few things Zero has done that aren’t impeachable...
Brave Congress.
Like hell.
And if Zer0 is “impeached and removed”...just WHO stands next in line to take his sorry-assed place......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm???? Dear God, please do not let that happen!! :-(
What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution?
More wishful thinking. There are not enough cojones in the house or senate to do the right thing. The only cure is to go 1776 on them.
The Race card expired on 1/20/09 and is non-renewable.
Then we go 1776 on him, his minions, his supporters and his media accomplices.
Well as a matter of fact, there is, he is currently in Leavenworth.
We executed a few NAZIs after WW II for saying they were only following orders.
The UCMJ absolutely demands that you only follow lawful orders, problem is you will stand Courts Martial and it will then be up to a gutless bunch of political officers to decide if the orders were lawful. Ask Terry Lakin.
Do a little poll among your Democratic friends, I doubt that 10% of them will believe that actually happened.
Sad thing is most Democrats are more Conservative that liberal, but they vote for the Commies anyway.
Get real. The fact that a small portion of the Left has now joined some conservatives in criticizing the black bastard over Syria is only entertaining but has no political significance.
