It would be nice if it turned out that Assad had an idiot attack and used the CBR agents.
But Assad not being an idiot, knows better than to use chem agents.
So like previous chem usage, this latest, if real, was 99 percent odds that the rebels and terrorist groups opposing Assad did the chem attack. Unlike Assad, the Al Q’s and associated Obama-supported terrorist groups have everything to gain and nothing to lose with doing a chem attack and then claining Assad did it.
Carter lost the US, Iran.
Obaba will lose the rest of the Middle East.
Truly random lottery would give us better leadership than our “democracy” has now.
The Dems seek to make the USA into the USSA (and we are almost there).
The Repubs job seems to be to bend over and spread their legs for the Dems, other than some of the rank and file.
Toss them all out.
Wave a $20 bill in a trailor park and the USA would have better people in DC than now.
We truly are a dead Republic.
The Constitution is used as T.P.
The Police State is almost complete.
There is no noticeable opposition to the Dems by the Repub leadership.
We are toast as a Country.
The Repubs don’t even have the guts to defund Obaba’s Cr*pCare. And can’t even all oppose Obaba’s amnesty which will make the USA a One Party Socialist Fascist State forever.
The sad thing is not that the USA leadership is cr*p, but that the electorate has a voting majority of people dumber than a box of rocks. People happy to sell their freedom for a handout and a phone.
It is a sad day when one can look at Putin and Obaba and easily see that Putin would be a better leader.
“The United States’ broader policy goal, as articulated by the President, is that Assad should go, and President Obama’s redline is consistent with that goal and with the goal of deterring the use of weapons of mass destruction. It is the type of redline virtually any American President would draw. Now America’s credibility is on the line. A failure to act when acting is in America’s interests and when a red line has been so clearly crossed will only weaken our ability to use diplomacy, economic pressure, and other non-lethal tools to remove Assad and deter Iran and other aggressors.”
So using military force is “action,” but economic pressure and diplomacy are not. OK.
Worse than a cave in. It is betrayal.
Any US action that doesn’t:
1. Deprive both sides of access to Syrian WMDs
2. Equally injure both sides
3. Protect murdered minorities, especially Christians.
Is a prescription to put al Qaeda in control of Syria with access to WMDs and a free hand to engage in ethnic cleansing.
Rolling over and peeing themselves on demand...
Wow... I’m SO glad we have such ... such.... inspiring LEADERSHIP from our Speaker and his flunkie....
Who here seriously thought No-Balls Boner would not support Obama going to war in Syria?
