The president will keep the possibility of force on the table, but really he’s lunging for a lifeline he was lucky to be thrown.

We’ve never had a presidential speech like that!

Amazing, the tunnel vision on the Right which never saw a war it didn't like.
What the country needs is Republicons in charge again for the WW3 they really want and an economy in the tank again.
Yeah, keep thinkin'.
Yet, here is Obama and kerry trying to start a war and ...... all of a sudden..... the "Libs" are warhawks

They just can't decide what they want can they

I guess this war isn't about funding the complex is it moons?

Their system is more democratic and honest than ours. In case you haven't looked lately, we have a dictator and a useless Congress that couldn't care less what the people say, they all answer to their corporate bosses.

Just because you cross-post Peggy Noonan into multiple threads doesn't make Peggy Noonan any less of a lunatic.

I will 'breathlessly' await your response!



Something tells me you'd make a horrible poker player...

The evidence was gathered the French charity Doctors Without Borders from direct testimonies. The rebels (Jabhat al-Nusra) claim they were misinformed about the nature of the weapons. They claim the weapons were supplied by 'Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who 'has been at the very heart of the push for war by the U.S. against Assad'. But still the American administration is sticking to its version of events the intel for which was allegedly supplied by Mossad. So here we have Israel and Saudi Arabia effectively colluding to embroil the US in a war designed to trigger conflict with Iran regardless of the implications.

OpEdNews - Quicklink: Syrian rebels admit to being behind chemical weapons attack

So who do we believe and why the rush?

Yep - this exactly. Although in fairness, there are a fair number of conservatives here who are being consistent and reasonable about the whole situation.

The whole Syria issue has created divisions that are all over the map, don't really cross party lines, and have created strange allegiances that don't seem to make sense. (Case in point: my dad, a conservative, thought Obama was being weak for not taking a strong, independent stance against Syria and would have more respect of he had ordered strikes against Syria because he thought the chemical attack was a crime against humanity. Myself, a slightly left-leaning moderate, was furious with Obama for considering intervention without congressional approval, and as terrible as the chemical attack was, I'm not sure it's really America's responsibility anyway. It was an interesting and bizarre discussion from how things normally are. But we're both consistent.)

So yes, the whole Syria drama has probably made most reasonable people happy with Obama in some regards, and upset with him in others. Only the blind sheeple o or the haters can really take a pro or anti Obama stance. It's sad to see a lack of objectivity here. Fortunately, it's not everyone.
