As the war drums for Syria get louder, let this thread serve as a repository for news, background, Tweets, photos, video, on-the-ground reports, etc., as was done recently with Egypt.
...”What are Obama’s objectives? What does he want?”...
HE hasn’t a clue..and this IS above his pay grade...and his fault it has come this far.
In his interview he said one thing that stood out to me...he said that Syria can’t do this ‘again’..(chemical strike)..
That tells me he’s not going to do a thing..and further he can’t without starting a ball which nobody can stop.
They new Russia and China would veto any attempt to do anything via the UN...and Nato isn’t interested to stand with BO....
He’s showing clearly he is weak on the International Stage...because he is.
Col. North said the leaks out of Obamas administration is so bad it needs to wear pampers! LOL He also said this whole Arab Spring has left every nation Obama has touched in worse shape than prior..and he’s right.
I don’t believe any of that for a minute.
If they move their army and facilities they’ll be seen...and the new areas clearly located then...so fruitless to try.
This whole think Obama is doing is just for show...he’ll not do a thing. Never intended to.
with Obozo its like a car wreck....you look away cause you just can’t stand it..then you look again and then look away.
I only have two emotions left: rage and depression.
Gained 3 lbs in the last week! Yeesh.
CNN reporting that Syrian Government has shuttered some military bases and moved artillery into sheltered areas.
I hear you! I have not been on my treadmill in a week!
Btw...can someone PLEASE..get John McCain off my TV!! I absolutely hate this guy now. What a little war monger! He does not represent me FOX NEWS!! Can we throw him out of our party? /rant
Meaning they are probably abandoning the chemical weapons storage sites too. For decades Assad has controlled those weapons! Now..all bets are off.
Good luck America!
CNN has the only live reporter in Syria.
Everybody but the WH and war nut John McCain!
CNN cannot be trusted one iota...remember the Iraq war?
Makes you wonder why THEY are the only one there...lay two to one they are with the terrorists...just like in Iraq...they reported in order to remain in favor with the bad guys..and they’ll do so now.
“Nobody disputes — or hardly anybody disputes — that chemical weapons were used on a large scale in Syria against civilian populations,” the president said. “We have looked at all the evidence, and we do not believe the opposition possessed … chemical weapons of that sort.” (Obama quote)

Chemical weapons - OF THAT SORT??? So, he knows they have chemical weapons, and he’s unsure if they have that type. Most people would say “We know the opposition does not have chemical weapons (period). Plus, It’s not even confirmed if it was sarin. They believe it was sarin, but the tests/evidence gathering is not complete yet. Yet, O had his mind made up immediately.
