The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced Thursday.

"The president has made a decision about providing more support to the opposition that will involve providing direct support to the [Supreme Military Council]. That includes military support," Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communication Ben Rhodes told reporters.

Focus on political resolution in Syria, says Sen. Reed President Obama has repeatedly said that the use of chemical weapons is a "red line" that, if crossed, would be a "game changer" for more U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war.

I oppose Obama’s war.

Dibs!

[EQAndyBuzz]

I don’t believe him. Where is his proof?

[Third Person]

Send in the ants!

[windsorknot]

Obama ants war

I prefer cockfights. :-)

[steerpike100]

As do I. And it’s not just Obama’s war, it’s also Jaun’s and Lindsey’s war. These two pillars of Truth, Justice, and the American Way came out today to say, in sober terms, and grim of mien, that we may need to establish No-Fly Zones, and aid to the (Al-Queda) rebels.

Meh and Faugh!! I don’t believe anything that any of three traitors have to say.

Just because a terrorist is buddies with John McCain doesn’t mean the U.S. should give him a blank check. McCain should use his own money to fund his pals.

So the US has went from fighting Al-Qaeda to keep them from taking over countries to arming Aleta and providing air cover for them

And North Vietnamese patrol boats may, or may not, have launched torpedoes at an American Destroyer on patrol in the vicinity.

[R_Kangel]

.... I’m sure the Sirian’s are dreading and cowering in the proverbial corner at the prospect of receiving a strongly worded letter from the Prez.

[Thud]

Nah, we’ll just send them toy guns.

[ecomcon]

So now we are arming Al Qaeda.

Obama knocked off Bin Laden so he could take over and get some.

[Nervous Tick]

Billy Jeff called his bluff...

[usconservative]

So now we are arming Al Qaeda.

YEP ... IT'S TREASON!!! OBAMA IS ARMING A DECLARED ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH WEAPONS OF WAR ..... HOW IS THIS NOT TREASON?!

[molson209]

Obama needs DISTRACTION

[nickcarraway]

Clinton’s talk was crazy. Maybe he was trying to lure Obama into a mistake.

[PistolPaknMama]

That ought to take the attention off of all his scandals. How convenient.

[dforest]

Surely some of us gals can dress in goofy looking pink frocks and mete out some very needed revenge to the war monger Hussein Obozo. LOL

[pallis]

Obama needs to mind his own business. There is no outcome that serves the interest or security of the US.

[usconservative]

Exactly, where's the proof? The same Obama who as a sitting US Senator derided and cast doubt on the Bush Administration's claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction is now putting the United States on a war posture with Syria by making specious claims of chemical weapons use.

To make matters worse, Obama is ordering the arming of the Syrian "rebels" (read that: al-Qaeda!) ... how is that not TREASON!?
