The comments are interesting..Nobody supports going to war over Obama's bruised ego.

Some of the most successful rebel groups are fiercely anti-Western Sunni Islamists allied to al Qaeda, and the West is wary of arming the opposition for fear of weapons reaching them.

Say what? We've been arming them, AFAIK.

We don’t know if this gas was military grade or home cooked.
We don’t know how it was delivered.

Stop the insanity!

If this happens lets see if congress has the guts to pursue impeachment, there is much more than this to pile on.

What do you think...

Yes they will...

No they won’t...

“Obama’s bruised ego”

And that’s what this is all about.

Following the news reports, Obama was very clearly leaning against the war.

But when the Russians compared him with a monkey playing with a grenade everything changed.

I have no doubt in my mind that he’ll attack Syria. That’s what any narcissist would do.

Haven’t heard Hillary’s position yet. Very important to get her on the record before the attack.

Beyond disappointed in the House and the House leadership. Whether they support a strike or not, they should be screaming from the rooftops about Obama’s refusal to seek Congress’ permission first. There is no excuse.

The consortium of international bankers that run the Western Allies wants it DAMN GOLD back, and nothing will stop them.

They went after Ghadaffi with cruise missiles because their GOLD (the real stuff, not the tungsten filled crap that has been spread around the world by countries like China) was in the Libyan National Bank, safe from prying eyes and robbery.

However, after they decided to bomb the heck out of Ghadaffi’s convoys, he moved the gold to a safer location. Somewhere that the US Military could not enter. Somewhere where it was protected by a large military.

In payment for Ghadaffi rehiding the GOLD, they shoved him out in the street to be butt-raped and killed. This is a fact.

Well.... guess where that GOLD is ?

Yes, it’s in Syria, and the FED RES will waste as mamy Cruise Missiles, kill as many innocent Syrians, and sacrifice as many US soldiers as it takes to get the GOLD BACK.

Once one understands that this is all about THE MONEY, then one will understand why Obama is ignoring other allies (who have backed out due to it becoming too obvious) and threats from Iran, Iraq, Russia, etc.

Obama has been given his orders and he will lead the charge or he will end up like Breitbart, Hastings, Wheeler, etc.

“We cannot accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale,” . . .

So, we’ll send in missiles at random and blow up women, children and innocent civilians on a terrible scale, in “retaliation.” Never mind that the rebels almost certainly did it.

That’s the only logical response, especially since Obama and his pals supplied the poison gas to the rebels in the first place.

Kind of like Clinton bombing the TV station in Belgrade, because they were broadcasting uncomfortable truths about what he was doing to civilians there.

Well, I guess we know now where Iraq’s WMD’s were transported to. Hmmm. Think the left and the media might want to explore this further. Hardly.

“Washington says it need not wait for the inspectors to report, since it is already certain poison gas was used and convinced Assad’s forces were behind it. The inspectors mandate is to determine if chemicals were used, not who used them.”

In other words, they do NOT know who did it.

paving the way for the United States to lead military strikes

And who, exactly are we leading? Interesting how Reuters continually ignores the facts and pushes the WH line.

Britain has also backed action but was forced to pull out of the coalition after Prime Minister David Cameron unexpectedly lost a vote over it in parliament on Thursday, straining London's "special relationship" with Washington

Daniel 7:4 shows the eagle's wings being plucked out of the lion.

All my life I have been preached too and studied many versions of the last days and have had many preachers claim this event or that event...never before have I seen so many prophecies seemingly be fulfilled before my very eyes.

Oddly I am not dismayed at the prospect of 0bama's actions for I believe it is all happening on God's timing now. There are princes and principalities, angels and demons, seals, and trumpets to be sounded.

I have long said America has to be removed from the world stage in order for the endtimes to be fulfilled. This is happening. 0bama's strike will have catastrophic consequences as predicted in Daniel 8. It will bring the collapse of the US and the beginning of sorrows will rev-up for 2300 days. But if you want to be really startled read verses 18-25. if that is not a description of Obama... ?

But...as dark as some of this may seem I believe America is the only country on earth that can turn aside and back to God to do God's will. Why do I think such craziness...election 2016. The prophecy says ...he shall be broken, but by no human hand...an election? America needs a good hard lesson in order to turn her heart back to God.

Written way back in 2000...something to think through and study very carefully... The Prophetic Future of the United States

Syria is the closest thing we have on our planet, to a black hole.

Going close to it will suck you in.  Of course Obama being the supreme leader, doesn't have to worry about the frailties of mortal men.

We should take a pass on this one.  That being the case, Obama will go in.

the ONLY way to “punish” Assad personally is to make it personal- kill his child as (supposedy)he killed others

is barry ready to do that

nah I guess he’ll use our million dollar missiles to break up a palace or something-

oooh, barry bringing a knife to a gun fight

let the arab mocking commence in 4-3-2-1

U.N. experts investigating a poison gas attack in Syria left the country on Saturday, paving the way for the United States to lead military strikes to punish President Bashar al-Assad.

It has always been my understanding that in order to lead, there must be someone follow ..............helloooooooooooo, anybody back there???

Oct. 2,2002:

Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama gives speech opposing war in Iraq. He said he did not oppose “all wars,” but he opposed “dumb wars,” and wanted to finish the job against al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden rather than start a new war in Iraq. He predicted that “even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.”

Anyone remember Hezbollawood? Intentionally-staged attacks against one's own people that were blamed on Israel in order to get the UN and the West to call for a ceasefire and gin up support for Hezbollah's murderous mayhem? It happened in 1996 and again in 2006. When Israel is kicking your ass, the Hezzies will always call on a false flag to call for a ceasefire to rebuild their missile depot to restart their rain (sic) of terror.

In case you had never heard, in 1983, it was Hezbollah who murdered 243 Marines as they selpt in their beds with a truck bomb equal to six Timothy McVeigh vans. And the response of our President at the time? It was Ronald Reagan who had the military turn tail and bug out from Beirut faster than Clinton clamored out of Somalia. To this day, their deaths have never been avenged. (Obama could have used that as an excuse to bomb the hell out of Hezbollah - Assad's proxy army. But since they are also a proxy for Iran, and Obama would never so much as touch a hair on the Ayatollah's head, fuggeddaboutit!).

Hezbollah did the fake massacre thing in 2006 in the city of Qana, exactly ten years after a similar strike on Qana in 1996. Little Green Footballs, Hot Air, and Sweetness & Light thoroughly debunked the claim that the IDF had bombed a childrens' shelter, deliberately or otherwise.

If you have never read about Mr. Green Helmet, now is the time. He was the same guy who appeared in all of the photos of the 1996 Qana "massacre" and who also appeared all over the place in 2006 Qana, dressed with and without his orange jacket, with and without his green helmet, with and without his radio, and basically waived around the same, very stiff, very dessicated, very dusty, very bloodless, yet "freshly crushed" little boy who was also sporting a brand new, dustless Binkie around his neck in a dozen different photos. Same baby. Same Green Helmet "rescue worker." Same Cosmopolitan-like photo shoot.

And, of course, the liberal Western world media swallowed it, hook, line, and stinker as they did with the non-shooting of Mohammed al-Dura the 12-year old boy NOT SHOT by the IDF but claimed to be, after France 2 TV network edited the film to make it look that way. Read the story of how one man, named Karseny, who was sued for slander by France 2 for accusing them of doctoring the tape, won the lawsuit, and forever proved that France 2 had lied about the incident that would result in 1,000'a of needless deaths and make al-Dura, the "poster child of the 2nd Intifadeh."

Countless videos of Hezbollah during the 2006 war with Israel show them herding children together to use as human shields. Check 'em out on youtube.

Then, recently, we had the "Freedom flotilla" organized by Ayers, Dohrn, and Code Pink and comprised of Turkish terrorists and "peace activists" seeking martyrdom and using knives, pipes, bats, and a gun or two to attack Israeli soldiers armed with paint ball guns who were boarding their ship to divert it to a port meant to handle humanitarian aid which, on this ship, was disguised as concrete, and was intending to break a legal blockade.

Both Obama and Turkey's PM forced Israel's PM to "apologize" for killing nine terrorists in self-defense. Never mind the bleeding and maimed IDF who got "Zimmermanned" by these terrorist leaders.

In other words, those so-called "rebels" who happen to be members of Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups who co-opted the "Free Syria" cause -- are the only ones who would directly benefit from Obama's stupid red line comment which they saw as a green light to gas kids (which pales in comparison to the torture they inflicted on Syrian civilians. Do an Internet search on "Syrian Rebel Unit Torturing Civilians, Opposition Group Claims").

Now, to save face after being called a "monkey with a grenade" by Assad, Obama is going to play his version of the "Knockout Game" but with our faces instead.

Syria is his "Ultimate Distraction" from the crimes he has already committed, and the crimes he is just now committing while he has his Media to put the public under a fog of war talk.
