Maybe Obama would react to the dreaded double-dog-dare.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Who cares about intelligence services, what does Valerie Jarret say? I'm not sure there's a good solution here, or any constructive action to take at this point, but our President has done another fine job of displaying American weakness.
....calls their bluff, Translates:...is it safe now to speak up without causing a reaction?
Did you see this? Just breaking from Stratfor:
Israel: Forces Reportedly Mobilized Along Border With Lebanon
April 26, 2013 | 1044 GMT
Israeli military forces mobilized along the country’s border with Lebanon on April 26 after an unmanned aerial vehicle allegedly launched from Lebanon was shot down April 25, NOW reported, citing the National News Agency. Lebanese forces reportedly increased their operations on the border in preparation for any military developments.
Obama’s chief mistake on this issue is making that “red line” comment. There are no good guys in that conflict in Syria, but the recent actions and statements of the insurgency tell me they’re many times worse. Though the Assad regime is despicable in many ways, I haven’t been quite so willing to believe all the propaganda about killing children en masse during attacks. Muslim radicals have shown repeatedly they are quite willing to murder their own young to score points in international media.
As for the direction of Syria or any other hellhole over there, Muslims may want “democracy” all right, but the problem is what emerges from it. Egypt is the shining example of what comes from giving the majority the power of life and death over the minority.
Color me skeptical. Assad is no dummy. He knows than much of the West is just looking for an excuse to intervene against him. The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and the rest of the alliance arrayed against him are quite capable of using chemical weapons and blaming him. Obama is also certainly an accomplished liar and is still concealing the degree of US involvement in arming and aiding the rebels.
Obama’s answer to the violation of his dare: Unfortunately due to the GOP inspired sequester, we do not have the funds to conduct any further operations in this part of the world. In fact, I asked George Bush about that yesterday and he agreed with me.
Pretty please, with sugar on top, will you please step back behind “the red line?” —0bumble
Obama’s way out was reported at FOX this morning. It is all in the wording. The O admin says that Obama said there would have to be “significant use” of these weapons and what has been reported does not meet that threshold.
wouldn’t the use of tear gas be the use of chemical weapons? so would it be better to just use nukes? arent all weapons killers by definition?
IIRC, reports circulated 6 months ago of chemical weapons use. At tghe time it was blamed on the rebels trying to suck the US into intervening.
This was about the time of Bengazigate. Connected? Most likely. And that would account for trace detection of chem weapons.
Quite honestly, who gives a damn at this point who does what to whom over there? It’s time for us to stop interfering and let that conflict burn itself out the way fate decrees. I’m sick of paying every higher taxes to improve conditions for the rest of the world when our own country is being flushed down the drain. Keep the money here and take care of Americans for once.
They’re NOT using chem weapons..
These are lies from Syrian terrorists aka rebels backed by Obama administration
guns2jihadists.com for the break down
Your nickname is very apt.
I’m pleased so many freepers are being skeptical about this.
Of course there are interests who want an intervention and they stupidly want Assad gone so they can install Muslim Brotherhood who can murder more Christians and Jews i.e McCain/Graham and probably elements within the Administration.
So far Obama has resisted them but Libya showed us he won’t for long.
At the end of the day the ‘rebels’ aka foreign jihadist islamic nutjobs can manufacture anything and blame it on Assad and the neocons like McCain will want an intervention.
At the end of the day it’s a political decision whether to invade a country or not or aid the foreign radical Al qeada terrorists in a more direct fashion.

There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye.
The CIA are totally out of control in my opinion but we will never know the full extent of their operations.
IMO, we should leave them alone and allow them to fight their own battle. We have lost enough blood over Muslims.
John McCain was the chief GOP cheerleader for getting involved with the Libyan mess but he sure sounded tough demanding answers when it predictably went to hell.
