”What difference at this point does it make?”Hey Congress! Get off your dead asses and impeach this cretinous wanker.
Our elected representatives have but one goal. Re-election. Get elected poor (like the hillbilly Clintons), get rich in office. Ignore the constitution. Lie, cheat, steal, but get re-elected. Nothing else matters. It will not change until the average voter wakes up.
Wag the dog is plausible, but it assumes that everyone will rally behind the troops and the CIC. I’ve heard public surveys are running something like 4:1 against a Syrian mis-adventure. It might not have the desired effect, even if there are no outsize repercussions.
“We don’t need you to do that.”
Obama killed more than this Chemical attack with Fast and Furious.
Where was the “Love” then?
Corruption from the Oval Office all the way down to the local school boards. It’s all about how much can be stolen from tax payers - even if the money has to be borrowed from China or Juarez. Obama has to save face and/or divert attention. Wonder what his approval rating is now?
It’s another attempt by Brother Obama, peace be upon him, to help the radical muzzies take over yet another country. Why have one Iran when you can have 4? Like my cousin said well before Obama was ever “elected”: “When it comes to Islamo terrorists, Republicans want to fight them. Democrats want to make them President.” And lo and behold: That’s just what they did.
Syria is a manufactured “crisis”. Why now, why there? There are surely many more abuses of human rights elsewhere, and even some in which there is a small degree of protecting the interests of Americans and the United States.
NO US INTERESTS ARE INVOLVED IN SYRIA!!! Muslims are killing other Muslims in a most satisfactory way, much like the border conflict between Saddam Hussein and the Islamic Republic of Iran, for years, before Saddam rather unwisely tried to extend his territorial boundaries into Kuwait. But even while Iran and Iraq were blasting away at each other, the oil still continued to flow out into international commerce.
Syria does not produce, or ship out, a significant amount of petroleum, but the engagement there is most satisfactorily using up the resources in terms of available cash and bodies of martyrs for the “cause” of establishing the Worldwide Caliphate. That there is simultaneously another engagement going on in Egypt and a running guerrilla action continuing in Libya, merely keeps their attention away from the one goal that matters most to ALL Islamic jihadists - the obliteration of Israel and driving all the Jews into the sea.
Bush spent over a year to get a diplomatic solution and was mocked constantly for rushing to war. Obama couldn’t even wait a week and he’s rushing to war
What a useless Congress America has,
composed of greedy, self-serving traitors.
As America has been run into the ground, with incidence
of treason after treason (and with NO documentation to
begin with, except evidence of obvious fraud),
the greedy Congressional pigs have gotten richer,
have made THEMSELVES exempt from their tyrannical laws,
and have ignored their repeated condonation of crucifixions,
beheadings, bombings, rapes, Church burnings,
cannibalism, and even Nun parades.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Good grief
I really don’t know what got the rebels started. Other than al Qaeda and the muslim brotherhood trying to overthrow the government.
I don’t understand why we need to finish the job for them.
I think it’s a phony war to distract from supposed phony scandals. He knows the S will HTF when congress returns and committees reconvene. Come October, he will be in deep doo-doo.
