Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.”

“Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.

What really frustrates me about this circus is, that when one considers the “best” outcome for the United States, it cannot be seen.

Alright General, what else didn’t you confess too? How does it feel to be owned?

The best outcome IMO is let the United Nations handle it, and if they discredit themselves one more time, have the U.S. pull out of it.

This is NUTZ! My understanding of politics is turned on its head....Why is this crap being pushed? Why have i become so antiwar unless it is brought to our shores? I feel like a hippie...dude or man...or maybe even Daddio.

Drudge has reported the EU and world leaders as well as Petraeus are for the US going into Syria. Nonintervention is beginning to crumble. Obama will get his way on this. We shall see.

Who? The un doesn’t have any more than member countries give it. And we give it too damn much. In addition, there’s nothing “left” to discredit.

Obviously he’s not. You don’t get positions like his without selling your soul to the new world order.
