You don’t have to convince me... I’m totally against going into that craphole.

It does does not benefit the US, no US assests or personnel were attacked, and no US National Security interests are at stake.

Axelrod, Jarrett and don't forget that wretched honest injun, Stephanie Cutter. Did you all see last week that THESE CLOWNS were the ones advising this nutjob? I am sickened that the press is so up you know where, that they do not care one bit of this country?

You put together these Military Advisors above (sickening)and the czars that all HATE America, and the fact that the NSA has allowed bammy to have every piece of dirt on Congress critters. Why do you think they are all boot licking at a time like this? Bonehead, jumping out to the microphone to say “I'm backing Bammy”, McJuan, gramnesty et al. I am sick to my stomach.

Keep calling. These films they supposedly are showing congress are gross. Where and when did they obtain these?

Also, it's NOT JUST a coincidence that this “emergency” is coming up just as the one year anniversary to the LIES in Benghazi. Total plan of Jarrett's I'll bet. Panetta said last September 28 (?) that they lost track of some chemical weapons in that Benghazi attack? Also, where was bammy that night, why was the CIA in Benghazi and what arms were they shipping to their muslim brotherhood buddies?

Connect the dots with Huma, Jarret and the Muslim Brotherhood. THIS is a HUGE mess and bammy can't cover his fanny much longer.

Uh? I don't recall England ever being ruled by its military.

Oliver Cromwell?

[okie01]

It's been a frickin disaster from day one and still ain't over.

The next 40 months are likely to be the longest -- and most dangerous -- 40 months in American history.

Cromwell was a politician (Member of Parliament, first for Huntingdon, then for Cambridge) and didn’t become a military man until he joined up after the English Civil War had started. So he was no more a ‘military ruler’ than George Washington (actually less, because George was already in the British redcoat military before the war against Britain and before he became president - he used to toast the King in the Officer’s Mess prior to the secession)

[RobbyS]

Cromwell. Which is why the English have a statute of him outside the houses of Parliament—to remind them.

[GeronL]

Going to war for the presidents reputation?

It’s just insane to think about.

[expat2]

No, Cromwell was even less of a military ruler than was George Washington -- he was merely a politician until the English Civil War had already begun, while George W was already a soldier in the British Army in the Colonies before the Secession of 1776.
George was set up as ruler (the new post of President in lieu of the English king) in 1788 by the elites in the Colonies while Cromwell was set up as ruler (the new post of Lord Protector in lieu of the English king) in 1653 by the elites in England at that time.
However, it is true that Cromwell was a more forceful and brutal ruler during his 5 years, and will always be remembered with disgust by the Irish, and Catholics all over the British Isles.

[RobbyS]

The New Model Army brought Cromwell to power, and because he was such a brilliant commander, he had Europe quaking in its boots when he died, relatively early. He also had brought the Royal Navy into being and, practically, the British Empire. If his son had not been such a wet, Cromwell would likely have become King Oliver I. But he was brought low by a kidney stone, as Pascal reminds us. sic transit...

[RobbyS]

He has made his reputation. The Iranians know well that he has no intention of asking the military to do anything more than picking up sea shells along the Channel.

[Dick Cinnamon]

"But they also warn that Syria is not Libya or Serbia. Perhaps the United States has become too used to fighting third-rate armies. As the Israelis learned in 1973, the Syrians are tough and mean-spirited killers with nothing to lose."

This statement is laughable, the Serbian army was so third rate that it remained intact after 78 days of straight bombing by the Perfumed Prince Clark.

The only reason why Assad's army has any teeth is because of Russian support, what a crock.
