Sounds pretty decisive or something......
Now back to vacation planning.

Simply admitting this makes any effort epic fail.

In other words. This needs to be kept just political. Let’s not actually have a mission or try to do anything.

Wow. The sad part is that I am not one bit surprised.

I guess this means sending a cruise missile up a camel’s butt is not an option

So we aren’t seeking regime change,,then why are we considering any military offensive? And what are the targets going to be, internet servers?
To: Sub-Driver
What a pathetic, disgraceful misuse of America's military capabilities...blowing up a few tents and empty buildings just so that Supreme Generalissimo Obongo won't be mocked.
Really? And how much does each cruise missile and guided bomb cost these days? And fuel for any bombers that head into Syria and get shot at?

Sounds like it will be just muscular enough to provoke and be mocked.

Committing a small act of war is like being “just a little bit pregnant.” Has anyone done the calculus to ask what a lone Syrian agent might do to this country in retaliation? If we believe they are capable of unleashing chemical warfare on their own population, why would they have any qualms about hitting the U.S. with the same weaponry? We know that DHS has no plans to seal our borders.

A U.S. official briefed on the military options being considered by President Obama told the Los Angeles Times that the White House is seeking a strike on Syria "just muscular enough not to get mocked." What an excellent plan by our Commander in Chief.
Everyone knows that it's a good idea to shake a hornets' nest just enough to make a strong statement, n'est ce pas?

Obama has already been mocked:
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who is known for his sharp tongue, said on Twitter that “the West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade.”

I wouldn't be surprised if this spun out of control for purple lips, as he is facing more determined foes, and O is being pro forma here.
He is waaay out of his league, and this won't end well.
I predict nuclear weapons will be detonated somewhere on this earth before the term of this complete loser is over.

Mock them! We have found an achilles heel. Mock, mock, mock the White House! Yep.. I'll bet that "monkey with a grenade" comment by the Russian foreign minister is still burning up The One's butt.

Can you imagine the response if a Bush Administration official had said this in 2006?
