When I read the headline I couldn’t help but recall Clinton’s Balkan war, the enemy (I always had a tough considering them an enemy) would place dummy tanks and aircraft out so our high flying Air Force would waste expensive bombs - and they did. Understandably, the AF always goes for overkill, so a lot of money went into making big holes in vacant fields.

So? What is this supposed to accomplish? To “send a message” to Assad that we don’t like him very much?

It won’t happen this week. That would interfere with The One’s historic
speech on the 50 year anniversary of MLK’s ‘I have a dream’.

I think this is all a pretext to go to war and take control of Syria.

Why?

To preserve the right to place giant oil pipeline from the oil producers to the European Union.

Why does Russia care?

Because they want to sell their oil to the EU and this will be competition.

Otherwise, why would anyone care about the plight of Syrians in civil war?

In my opinion, it does not matter which side we support, it is merely to gain control of the territory for the sole purpose of placing a large tube on the land.

I may be wrong, but why are our troops going to be placed in harm’s way for the benefit of European Oil? Why can’t Europe fight for themselves? Why must it be the US?

We will only invite retaliation.

Retaliation against us will invite further clampdown on our civil rights “to keep us safe.”

All of this so European socialism can survive the malaise in which it wallows.

Perhaps we should just disband Congress, that way he can spend their salaries on more vacations.

Why would Assad use WMD’s when he is winning the war against the so called rebels? it doesn’t add up. Could this be a set up?

Is this all going down according to the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaida plan???

If Assad falls, who will take over? Who is the frying pan? Who is the fire?

The design of the potential attack implies sending a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ...

And the message is:

Immediately stop allowing those Rebel Forces to launch chemical attacks and blame them on you.

BO is only capable of “committing” to the arbitrary, but never the necessary.

Largely because his moral compass was never activated.

Yeah, there’s nothing like letting them know what you’re gonna do and how long you’re gonna do it...

Brilliant. What geniuses we have running things.

Obama Is Considering A Limited Two-Day Strike On Syrian Military Targets

Because with Sequestration on top of the huge military cuts Obama already ordered in 2009 and 2012, we can't afford to fight for Three days.

Tell vichy french Kerry to tell his french instigators to use their own d@mn bombs to start WWII. They own this conflict..not us, d@mn money hungry lazy manipulators.

Americans decide where to drop their bombs..not the dictators in Washington or the UN or the French. This "evidence" for us to get involved smells to high heaven.

The design of the potential attack implies sending a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad without becoming entrenched in the 29-month conflict.

Yeah, that should work just fine. What could possibly go wrong?

Note to Obmaa, this isn’t the “knock out” game.
If you’re going to kill the king, first kill the king.
Obama thinks two days of shock and awe shucks, will
do the trick, don’t think so.

IIRC the Libyan operation was to take only six weeks. Eight months later...

I don’t believe anything coming from this regime.

I had to check to see if it was satire. We’re going to bomb places that have nothing to do with chemical weapons because Syria used chemical weapons. Simply stupid.
