President Barack Obama said the alleged mass chemical attack in Syria “is clearly a big event of grave concern,” he told CNN in an interview aired Friday morning. But the President was hesitant to get the U.S. more involved. Citing the ongoing human and financial burdens the U.S. still faces in Afghanistan, he was unwilling to “get involved with everything immediately” and “drawn into very expensive, difficult, costly interventions that actually breed more resentment in the region.”
Two years ago this month, Obama called for the ouster of Syrian strongman Bashar Assad. A year ago, Obama drew what he called a “red line” saying the use of chemical weapons would change his “calculus” on the conflict, which has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the last two and a half years. Syrian opposition groups say this red line has now been crossed with this one attack Wednesday morning claiming as many as 1,300 lives in the eastern suburbs of Damascus.

If by "Blurs", you mean completely wusses out and puts all Americans in even greater danger than he's already put us in by projecting an even weaker image to the world.
Thanks, pussy.
Your sub-title is hilarious.
President Barack Obama said the alleged mass chemical attack in Syria “is clearly a big event of grave concern,”
Did he come to this conclusion on his own? Did he and Susan Rice put their heads together and pour over intelligence reports?
Not a chance. He's STILL the most inexperienced person to walk into any room.
hesitant?? he was busted selling / giving MANPADS to start the whole thing
of course the idiots will believe that was Bush’s fault and 0bama had no choice
obama ,the jack ass , doesn’t have a clue who killed these innocent people. Let me fill you in. Assad was fighting the Al Qaeda TERRORISTS and was kicking their ass. Killing them in droves!! and in desperation, in the middle of the night, The Al Qaeda sneak into a Shiite enclave and kill and gas a bunch of Shiites!! ( the damned Al Qaeda are Sunni Wahhabi, don’t you know?) and this dumb ass goof ball president stages for war with Russia? WHAT A F&&*& IDIOT!!
Do we have a source that this neighborhood hit was shite or Alwaite?
Can you link it if you have it please. I must have missed it in my reading.
We all watched the convoy of truck going into Syria from Iraq for 9 months prior to Operation Enduring Freedom.
It may not be Hussiens WMDs but it was made with Hussiens WMD technology.
Obama’s a liberal-every thought they have is blurred. Fuzzy logic, fuzzy morality, fuzzy ethics and fuzzy reality.
You don’t think the Al Qaeda would gas their own, do you? Ill bet on it.
Man, the shite has hit the fan.
What I want to know is why Obama is moving Naval forces to Syria while he is mucking up relations at the Suez canal.
Good question. I have never in my life seen such a global mess caused by so many stupid and sinister people. I can’t wrap my mind around it all because there are just too many moving parts....all of them bad.
I believe they would gas their own in a heartbeat if they thought it would further the cause.
Would hate to think it was his way to cut off supplies to Afghanistan
What is the possibility that someone’s special ops have a hand in a gassing false flag. I don’t trust US, any other NATO, Muslim, Chinese, Russian or Israeli criminal gang called government.
I remember the US Army placing American soldiers in trenches and then setting off nuclear bombs in close proximity to see what happened?
Like I said earlier..I would trust Benjamin Netanyahu if he came out with proof on this attack. However, I still would not want to get involved in this fight. I see no strategic interests for our country in Syria. NONE.
But yes..it is possible that it is some country’s special op forces that did this..including some sent by Obama. It could have been an accident while someone was trying to disarm or remove them too. Who knows? They are not telling us anything.
And BTW, if we're going to back Syrian jihadis who use chemical weapons, expect them to also surface with the Brotherhood against the Egyptian military.
Big Chief Fullavit.
