A Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, designed to protect Jordanian territory from attack by Assad missiles, has also been moved into the area.

Our troops are being sent into a meat grinder to divert attention from the criminal bastard int he White House and his criminal regime. Three brigades are in the most peril since the Gulf War II events which Jerry Rivers tried to help the enemy to give him stature as a supposed war correspondent.

As Janeane Garofalo would put it, “It just isn’t hip to protest Obama’s wars.”

Which just happened to be preceded by sending additional US aircraft to provide greater air cover for Jordon. Since when do you need greater air cover for war games ?

Riiight. Your president wouldn’t wag the flea bitten dog! Your president wouldn’t get all drugged up and piss away forty Americans in Benghazi. Riiight, just a war game, with insane moose slime factions on all sides and Russia egging them on to use Russian assets to embarrass America of little barry bastard boy. Just an exercise, riiiigth.

Congress needs to step in and require authorization.

That's what I was thinking. With all of the NSA files, they may not say a peep. Then what?

From ZeroHedge (Tyler Durden

“Well, isn’t that convenient? At the moment when the Obama administration is feeling more heat then ever before, it starts another war. Suddenly everyone in the mainstream media is talking all about Syria and not about the IRS scandal, Benghazi, NSA snooping or any of the other political scandals that have popped up in recent weeks. As if on cue, Obama made headlines all over the globe on Thursday by claiming that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against the rebels “multiple times”, and that the U.S. was now ready to do more to assist the rebels. As far as the Obama administration is concerned, there is no such thing as a coincidence. The timing of this announcement regarding Syria was not an accident.”

It’s all OK. At least really important stuff like Kim Kardashian having her baby hasn’t happened yet. I’m sure all of the low-information voters know we’re on the right side in this fight. CAUTION: I realize there is no “right” side. We should just keep our nose out of this.

Aww, c’mon! Not without pay. OTOH, the money isn’t going in the US treasury, is it? I wonder whose off-shore bank accounts are being lined.

It sure isn’t going to end up in Israel’s.

Guaranteed the arms will via all of Obama’s proxies, MB, Alquaeda etc etc.

Once they cook Israel, then its Europe and then America.

FUBO

...whoever’s on the other end of The Won’s BlackBerry (and what those messages have contained)

Now there's a set of Snowden leaks that would be worth a million times their weight in gold!

That brings up a good point, how does the NSA’s snooping program filter out the banned from snooping individuals ? At what point in the process is it ignored or deleted ? My guess is they collect everything, but only allow normal access to the non-banned active files. And even that would be difficult to filter out completely. They are not allowed to spy on mosques, but they can spy on people calling the mosque ? They must have it all. Every stinking data communication.

He wants Putin to call his bluff. That will force Russia to land S-300 systems. BTW - The Syrians have all been trained on the system. It will be operational by Syrians within 1-2 hours of landing via aircraft. This of course will force the Israelis to strike the newly arrived mobile S-300 systems. Now my guess is Emperor Zero does not have the capability to plan much further ahead then that. What comes next will probably only be known to the surviving historians.

Obama thinks he’s winning the “new” Muslim caliphate by beating the vestiges of the old British Empire won from the fall of Ottoman Empire.

Obama, who has run covert gun running from Libya to Syria, to using the pretext of chemical weapons to bring it all out in the open. Also he’s trying to provide cover for Obama/Hillary Benghazi-gate.
