What kind of diplomatic BS response is this:


we would not act alone, but we would not shirk our responsibilities, by supporting the opposition in Syria in such a way that would provide a response

Are they basically saying “We think Syria should be attacked but won’t do it unless the US goes first. If the US chooses not to go we will not send troops either but we will support the rebels in other ways”?

God, I HATE diplo-speak

Seriously?!? Our foreign policy has devolved to what amounts to a couple of kids looking at each other and going “I’ll do it if you do it”.

So they won't shirk their responsibilities by supporting someone else to take care of it?

Hmmm.

I don't think even Rosetta Stone would help me with the linguistic nuances, here.......

It’s your former colony, France!

The UK and France should be required to do the dirty work over there seeing that they made up those stupid countries.

The Frogs might actually be resting up a bit and re-loading. It’s only been a few weeks since they sucked it up and did some serious house cleaning in Mali on their own.

This decision was precipitated by the recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Don’t worry. Our Saudi Masters have ordered the attack, and both Democrats and Republicans alike have fallen into line.

I think it’s fairly well established that no nation in Europe, sans possibly the UK, is gonna take any kind of real initiative in global affairs like this one unless the US is holding their hand every step of the way. Hopefully it has turned out to be a huge alert for everyone who insisted it would be so much different under Obama.
