Putin greets Obama with Syria threat
FoxNews.com ^ | 09/05/2013 | Chris Stirewalt

President Obama arrived in Russia today to find the already failing relations with his host in even worse condition. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to provide his Syrian allies with a missile shield in the event of U.S. airstrikes further complicates Obama’s flagging effort to win international support for an attack on Damascus. As the Guardian reports, Putin’s warning that an attack without UN backing would provoke military aid from Russia may drive away the handful of international partners for Obama’s proposed attack.

Withdraw the CIA from Syria, defund and disarm AQ there, replace Kerry and censure Boehner.

That’s a great scene, but at the end, Billy Batts dies.

Calm down. Very few people will ever see or remember the posts that you made on this thread.

“Are usually found calling Obama cute names: Obambi, etc.”

I’m guilty, sir! Sheesh, being an 07’ Stanford grad is old now? Let me grab my walking cane and beat those skateboard kids for being too noisy.

The international humiliation of the community-organizer President, episode no. 46.

Putty smells blood in the water, watch him go in for the kill.

IMO, ObamaCare is the next Holocaust as it was designed to be.


You’re exactly right. They’re compiling the lists.

I've spent my adult life bashing commie rat bastards
and I find myself wishing Putin would rip Obama's head
off his shoulders.

Obama proclaims America is no longer a Christian nation.
Putin proclaims Russia's Christianity.

Obama embraces gay marriage.
Putin condemns the gays.

It seems like we've traded places somehow.
If America becomes a socialist worker's paradise,
it is dead to me.

After Putin stated that, he told Barry to go get his shine box.

And Putin is a 'made man.'

Xi Jinping of China is going to tell Obama the same thing that Putin is telling him... That China will give weapons to Syria if the US attacks.

Putin and Jinping may also loosen the leash on Kim Jung Un in North Korea, possibly getting him to launch another missile or detonate another nuke.

It’s really much simpler

the “newly elected” Syrian opposition leader is Ahmad Jabar-leader of tribe with affiliations in Saudi Arabia (all in the family)

The Syrian “civil war” has become a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Assad linked to Iran, chose...unwisely...especially if the Russians decide a new deal with the Saudis can be balanced with their interests in Iran

obowma’s outstanding chits to the Saudis (US debt and political support) have been called - or perhaps new ones have been issued

obowma the past few weeks became desperate to commit the US to the Saudi side in this proxy war. US military attacks funded by Saudi money.... what could possibly go wrong

Some of us “elderly kooky types” actually have seen the world. Perhaps not so much as you, oh great one, but we do have some degree of relative sophistication. Our years in this world quite possibly might give us a perspective that you don’t have, and won’t until you get to be our age.

Wait, who are you calling an alcoholic? Not W — he’s been a teetotaler since 1986. He hasn’t been drunk for over 25 years.

Everything I ever learned, which was worth learning, I learned from folks older than me.

I still do.
