Idiots are in charge.
"They are looking at what is just enough to mean something, just enough to be more than symbolic," the Times quoted the source as saying.
In other words, the administration is admitting that their actions will be, essentially, pointless!
Yet, it is unavoidable that some people will die as "collateral damage" -- a la Clinton's night watchman in the Baghdad office tower.
What a disgusting turn of events -- ineffective action, innocent deaths...all so His Nibs can say he did...something.
9% support the Clown’s push for U.S. treasure (and possibly lives) to be spent supporting Al-Qaeda backed rebels in Syria.
On shaky evidence.
With no UN approval.
he has to prove to the world that he is not the poof everyone thinks and knows he is. and if it’s getting into another war so be it.
Maybe the obama crowd will use obama's birth certificate as their proof. Would make as much sense as anything else.
Meanwhile, we await the combined Russian/Chinese reaction to Obama’s horse sh*t.
World War III by September?
It’s bad enough this feckless clown in the White House has ruined the economy with his socialist crap; now he’s going to engineer the incineration of the nation he hates so much (the United States)?
It is NOT the U.S. acting in Syria.
It is Hussein and the shadowy cabal which gives the orders behind the scenes.
Too bad America doesn’t have a Congress willing to do its job.
Obama should be aware that there are some big boys standing at the sidelines in this fight, right now, and any attempt for the US to jump in will be greeted with an inordinate degree of hostility.
Russia is a player here, and they are supporting Bashar al-Assad. The Chinese are an interested party as well (they are looking to build influence in the Middle East), and Iran is trying to form a crescent stretched around and through Syria, the more effectively to confront Israel AND the Sunni Arabic faction on the Arabian Peninsula.
The Current Regime now squatting the White Hut may not realize it, but nobody gives them much respect.
And jumping in now is no way to build it, either.
I’m so glad this is being kept secret so it will be a surprise and US airmen will have the optimum conditions to get in and get out safely.
It might be time for America to pay the piper for her corrupt black president.
This won’t end well.
Probably True: Chemical weapons were used in Syria.
Unproven Assumption: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or someone in his chain of command ordered and authorized the attack with chemical weapons.
Unproven Assumption: Chemical weapons were used by anti-Assad forces who then blamed Assad for their use.
Question: Does the Unites States or any other nation have a moral obligation to punish those who use chemical weapons?
We seem to have ushered in a new era of strategic military thought, the “muscular enough not to be mocked” theory of war. Forget Clausewitz, Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Moltke, and Forrest, we’re going with Monty Python.
Idiots are in charge.
I don’t think it is the military we are waiting on for a plan. I believe the decider in chief is probably trying to figure out how to attack with nerf balls and achieve a “ muscular “ image that has evaded him his entire life.
Since were playing global cop we need to put rotating red/blue light bars on our military stuff...To protect and serve the wealthy globalist and world banksters.
Empty buildings, here we come! Operation Deserted Storm.
