Britain is planning to join forces with America and launch military action against Syria within days in response to the gas attack believed to have been carried out by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces against his own people.

[SoFloFreeper]

Britain and America: a couple of kakistocracies.

Here is why the Tyrant likes this.

1. ‘Wag the Dog’ gets IRS, NSA, corruption, off the headlines.

2. Helps al Qaeda.

3. Blowback is against Israel.

4. Helps his PR mojo.

Tonkin Gulf II. Lets not go here.

[SoFloFreeper]

Tonkin Gulf II was Libya.

This is TG III.

[Ronin]

Here we go again...

[SoFloFreeper]

Hey, we finally agree on something! :)

[BenLurkin]

SO what did Congress say when Hussein asked them for permission?

[InterceptPoint]

5. Helps The Muslim Brotherhood. (Should be # 1.)

[AU72]

Iran is saying a US lead attack on Syria is a red line for them that will result in serious consequences.

I'm predicting a couple of empty warehouses getting hit by cruise missiles and Obama calling it a day.

[tet68]

If this isn’t done under the UN auspice, we
are totally screwed.

Obamawar II.

[bgill]

Britain getting in on this is going to solve what? Nothing. Throw in us and a few more countries and pizz off Vlad and it’s WWIII.

[Ronin]

Will Putin sit still for this?

[gr8eman]

Yeah...but I don’t think Putin will sit idly by. They do have a port nearby.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Government sources said talks between the Prime Minister and international leaders, including Barack Obama

Puke.

[Gay State Conservative]

So we took the wrong side in Tunisia...we took the wrong side in Libya....we took the wrong side in Egypt (bigtime!)...and now we're intervening somewhere else.Ten bucks says that history will show that we took the wrong side *there* as well.

But then,our Community Agitator-In-Chief *did* promise change.

[oldbrowser]

Can you believe this:

kakistocracy= Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.

The ancient Greeks had a name for Obama thousands of years before he was born.

[SandRat]

..believed to have been..

Have they confirmed without question that it was chem and what type of chem when. How was it employed and who made it (weaponized it)?

[marron]

I’m sure intervention will be thoroughly debated in the senate before we actually deploy our forces into the theater.

And I’m pretty sure we’ll go get 17 or 18 UN resolutions first too, just to keep it all copacetic.

[Reddon]

4. Helps his PR mojo.

I don't think so. Obama is about to make a bigger ass of himself that he already is, if that is possible. This guy cannot do anything without screwing it up. This will be no different. He seems bent on embarrassing us as a nation.

Too bad the article is behind a paywall.
