Not if we protect our borders.

I can’t believe we haven’t been dosed or nuked already! *SHUDDER*

All with “Made In Iraq” stickers on the side.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

The Syrian “rebels” are Salafist terror groups...

If Assad Pest Control, Inc. is spraying those roaches, I don’t give a damn.

It is just a matter of time before al Quaeda terrorists have access to weaponized poison gas. Given our leaky southern border where tons of illegal drugs are already being brought into the United States, it would be no problem to smuggle in relatively small quantities of lethal gas weapons.

Imagine the effect of the recent Boston bombings if instead of ball bearings those pressure cookers contained a nerve agent like Sarin. Fatalities could easily have numbered in the hundreds and local hospitals would have been overrun with casualties. A dirty bomb laced with finely powdered radioactive materials is only slightly more difficult make and would also have devastating results. There is a 2004 made for TV movie called Dirty War that realistically portrays the effects of the detonation by terrorists of a radioactive dirty bomb in central London. Sadly this movie could soon become a reality.

I’m all for destroying our enemies, but I sure don’t see why we have to invade Syria. If we have to go in because they received Iraq’s WMD, then I want a law passed that every Democrat in this country has to wear a sign, three feet by three feet, that reads, “I am a stupid s**t Democrat who had my head up my a** over Iraq”. They would wear it for a month. Then, we can look at what to do with Syria.

‘‘The president has laid down the line, and it can’t be a dotted line. It can’t be anything other than a red line,’’ said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. ‘‘And more than just Syria, Iran is paying attention to this. North Korea is paying attention to this.’’

Added Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.: ‘‘For America to sit on the sidelines and do nothing is a huge mistake.’’

You gotta love the GOP is about to push through an amnesty, while advocating the expenditure of huge sums on an intervention on behalf of the same Sunni Muslims who think 9/11 was simultaneously (1) a source of pride for all Muslims and (2) engineered by the Bush administration. Note that there's no barrier to intervention by neighboring Sunni Muslim countries, but they'd prefer that we get involved, because then we cover all the bills.

I think between Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Kuwait, and the trillion dollars we've spent stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan, we've done quite enough for Muslims. It's time they started working out their own problems.
