Full Title: Sarah Palin obliterates Obama on Syria: “President Obama’s advertised war plan isn’t about protecting civilians”

This is Sarah Palin at her best, taking Obama’s plan to bomb Syria apart piece by piece and obliterating it:

“So we’re bombing Syria because Syria is bombing Syria? And I’m the idiot?” – Sarah Palin

* President Obama wants America involved in Syria’s civil war pitting the antagonistic Assad regime against equally antagonistic Al Qaeda affiliated rebels. But he’s not quite sure which side is doing what, what the ultimate end game is, or even whose side we should be on. Haven’t we learned? WAGs don’t work in war.

* We didn’t intervene when over 100,000 Syrians were tragically slaughtered by various means, but we’ll now intervene to avenge the tragic deaths of over 1,000 Syrians killed by chemical weapons, though according to the White House we’re not actually planning to take out the chemical weapons because doing so would require “too much of a commitment.”

* President Obama wants to do what, exactly? Punish evil acts in the form of a telegraphed air strike on Syria to serve as a deterrent? If our invasion of Iraq wasn’t enough of a deterrent to stop evil men from using chemical weapons on their own people, why do we think this will be?

* The world sympathizes with the plight of civilians tragically caught in the crossfire of this internal conflict. But President Obama’s advertised war plan (which has given Assad enough of a heads-up that he’s reportedly already placing human shields at targeted sites) isn’t about protecting civilians, and it’s not been explained how lobbing U.S. missiles at Syria will help Syrian civilians. Do we really think our actions help either side or stop them from hurting more civilians?

* We have no clear mission in Syria. There’s no explanation of what vital American interests are at stake there today amidst yet another centuries-old internal struggle between violent radical Islamists and a murderous dictatorial regime, and we have no business getting involved anywhere without one. And where’s the legal consent of the people’s representatives? Our allies in Britain have already spoken. They just said no. The American people overwhelmingly agree, and the wisdom of the people must be heeded.

* Our Nobel Peace Prize winning President needs to seek Congressional approval before taking us to war. It’s nonsense to argue that, “Well, Bush did it.” Bull. President Bush received support from both Congress and a coalition of our allies for “his wars,” ironically the same wars Obama says he vehemently opposed because of lack of proof of America’s vital interests being at stake.

* Bottom line is that this is about President Obama saving political face because of his “red line” promise regarding chemical weapons.

* As I said before, if we are dangerously uncertain of the outcome and are led into war by a Commander-in-chief who can’t recognize that this conflict is pitting Islamic extremists against an authoritarian regime with both sides shouting “Allah Akbar” at each other, then let Allah sort it out.

Sarah Palin needs to step DIRECTLY into the arena.

If she doesn't want to run for office she should initiate the start of a NEW political party.

There are millions of supporters waiting to move forward if somebody would LEAD.

Would you please add me to your PL? Thanks.

Sure thing RKBA Democrat, though I already have you on Her List, did you not receive her Ping? If you did not I shall rectify that immediately.

She has a very interesting relationship with the second parties. I seem to recall her husband was a member of the AK independence party at one time. Plus she is on very friendly terms with the Libertarians.

You bet she does, it is what Sarah does best, taking in dispirit groups and uniting them.

Sarah isn't in it for the GOP, you are right we need a Second Party, that is why she attracts Libertarians like me to her side, she walks the walk and talks the talk.

Even if Sarah doesn't hold another political office for her entire life, Ben Franklin held very few too......

“Any combination of those two would thrill my soul and go a long way towards fixing this country. We can’t go rino again! They never fix anything and mostly push the same progressive agendas that are destroying this country.”

If by “rino” you mean the gop/’rat uniparty, we’re in complete agreement.

If on the other hand you believe that the gop wing of the uniparty is somehow going to prove redeemable, then I must strenuously disagree. What you see when you look at such gop luminaries as chris christie, john boehner, and mitch mcconnell what you see is the very flower, the heart and soul of the gop wing of the uniparty. They aren’t “republicans in name only,” they are what the gop IS and stands for. That is to say they’re not at all different from the ‘rat wing of the uniparty.

I’ve seen it noted that the gop label is damaged. It’s beyond damaged. It’s become a liability.

On a totally unrelated note, I just happen to have a coil of piano wire in my garage that I am looking for a use for.

My town has lamp posts.

If 0bama has a war plan for attacking Syria, does it include resources to evacuate Syrian civilians from nerve gas released by U.S. bombs hitting stored WMDs near or in cities like Damascus?!

...or this this yet another “winging it” example of 0bama’s foreign policy where after thousands are killed by nerve gas (from Syrian WMDs) released by U.S. bombing raids, that the news media just lies that “No one could have forseen that tragedy”?

We are in complete agreement. I can literally count the conservatives I trust completely in the GOP on one hand.

Excellent point. And a thoroughly depressing thought.

But never mind me. According to the media I must be some sort of raaaaaacist. You know. We’re raaaaaacists because we oppose the efforts of a brown skinned demagogue to use OUR military to kill lots of other brown skinned people because they aren’t on the right side of a civil war that is killing lots of brown skinned people.

Or something like that.

You're right, I meant to say:

This is why there’s a huge libertarian drug-addled, baby-killing, disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjob movement going on this country...

I've read the Libertarian Platform.
