Where were Kerry and the other sanctimonious clowns when Rwanda was torn apart by genocide? Oh, intervention would have disturbed the gorillas, never mind...
Why does Obama want this war?
Obama wins no matter what because of his tactics and agenda.
If he makes the US look weak to the world - win
If he strengthens his authority on the domestic front through unconstitutional acts - win
If he goes to the United Nations to strengthen the global body as a new global congress and then does as he pleases - win
If he makes the US congress seem incompetent or supersedes their authority he is empowering himself - win
If he gets the US into all kinds of trouble economically to soften us up for future plans not forthcoming - win
If he empowers democracy in the Middle East (btw, these words and ideas have no meaning in the MEast except to the media and for Western consumption) win!
One could could go on and on...
Some questions for BO and the spineless Congresscritters that go along with him:
How would a military strike help stop the violence and protect civilians from further harm?
What is our exit plan?
Why strike on our own instead of working to build an international coalition with the UN and allies?
How can we be sure that this intelligence is valid, unlike many of the claims made preceding our invasion of Iraq?
Where will the estimated $1 billion for the strike on Syria come from? Might that money be better spent at home improving our economy?
What makes you think violence against his own citizens makes Assad more likely to attack Israel? If Israel is at risk why do they need our help when they have more weapons than all their immediate neighbors combined?
Where does Obama, a self-proclaimed Constitutional scholar, get the idea that he can bomb Syria without Congressional approval when Article I Section 8 of the Constitution clearly delegates to Congress the power to declare war?
Te Party, Anti-War Progressives and Libertarians UNITE! Make them pay in 2014
We have. No idea what Obama has in this deal. Just like obamacare, we don’t know what is in it and what he wants to give America out in this in the end. This is a war that will be traded with enemies, an affirmative action victory paid in blue helmets over US soil.
Anyone know the date of the Chemical Weapons use.....and was Obama on VACATION when that happened??
