And suppose the Russians decide to get involved.... How “limited” will that be?

It’s time to set up a Constitutional crisis over War Powers. Congress needs to reassert its authority to declare war. This is getting ridiculous and abusive. We’ve had an Imperial Presidency for far too long.

Is this source ‘Debka’ reliable? Seem to recall many Freepers ridiculing this source in the past?

Ah yes, our Islamic-Jihadist-appeasing/defending/enabling/supporting Dear Leader is "Accelerating Preparations" to facilitate his "buds" (Mooselimb Bruder-hood) takeover (the same as he did in Egypt and Libya) of yet another Mid East Country.....

....as he continues to facilitate the takeover (via "Civilization/Stealth Jihad") of our very own United States by appointing/welcoming those who support Terrorism (and have vowed to "Destroy our miserable house from within") as advisers/confidants.

Nuttin' to see here folks; just move along.....

....oh, AND DON'T FORGET, Mittens is TEN (10) TIMES more eeeevil, dangerous and more of a "THREAT" to our Security, Safety and Survival....so y'all might just as well stay home come November....!

And what was the strategic interest of the U.S. in all this?

Please understand—Dear Reader HAS TO do this given his loyalties and prejudices.

The otherwise genuinely evil Assad regime has one terrible “flaw”. The regime protected Christians from the wonderful IslamoFascists who wanted to burn the churches and kill the Christians.

Hussein is determined to create as much chaos as possible in the most dangerous part of the world.

Assad protects Christian and other minority populations because Assad himself is minority Alawite (which is a minority within Shi'ism).
Assad is otherwise a brutal dictator. If he is overthrown he will be replaced by a Sunni brutal SHARIA dictatorship in which minorities are persecuted and eventually driven out or exterminated.
Obama is Sunni.

Air strikes into Syria will not be as easy as Libya. The Syrian air defense is quite potent and designed/trained to defend against an Israeli attack, something the Libyans didn’t have to plan against. Thus needing extensive SEAD missions against the SA-5s, SA-6s, etc, which could be costly. Though not an exact comparission, think of the air defenses around Hanoi and Haiphong during the Vietnam war and the losses we took on those SEAD missions.

Flying air strikes against Syria will not, repeat NOT, be the “cake walk” that Libya was.

Say it ain’t so.
