How long before the Republicans nominate Putin for president? His ideology is almost as despicable as theirs. It could work.

Nah, Putin is too tame for you liberals. You'd want to equate the Republicans with Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin (only the "bad" parts of that hero of the proletariat, though), and Genghis Khan.

I won't hold my breath. Both parties are in on the game together. They keep Americans distracted with the cards on the tabletop, while all the real business happens under the table.
This was Biden talking back in 07 when Bush was President. Don't hear his ridiculous trap running now that his village idiot is doing and end run around congressional approval eh? Liberals should be outraged!!

Hypocrisy is rampant and is one of the biggest problems with people today.

I thought weapons of mass destruction in rogue nations in the middle east are "bad," or at least they were when we went to war with another country for the same thing. The only difference is that the last time, there wasn't any proof.
It's been confirmed that chemical weapons were used in Syria. There is an ongoing investigation. It has yet to be proven who actually used them. Also, it has not been proven who fired the shots on the UN investigators. Your "there's no question" that it was the government is your opinion. A few months ago it was determined that the rebels used recin, yet Obama insisted that he "thought" is was the Assad regime and took no action.

For the most part Obama doesn't think things through and relies on "information", taking it at face value, that his inner circle, who has no experience in many areas, especially something of the Syria magnitude, gives him, and the results of his "thinking" usually have a poor outcome.

I will question any "proof" that the administration shows that it was the Assad regime that dropped the gas. I don't care what agency compiles the proof. We've seen what the WH did with CIA documentation relating to Benghazi to clear the WH. Now we will be presented with "proof" to justify the WH using military force, of any kind, on Syria.

What is very sad is that it is very possible that Al Qaeda & Co. may very well be manipulating Obama and he will end up doing more damage than good using military action and helping the enemy. Let him knock out military facilities, let the rebels gain strength, and when the rebels turn on the FSA what is he going do then? Boots on the ground??

Obama is a pawn for the terrorist rebels and for the Arab countries that want to see Assad removed. If the toothless Arab League is so outraged and stands behind Obama, why aren't they getting involved other than condemning Assad and supporting US military action? Oh, wait, they are going to let the US do their bidding.

Default Was this a racist statement by the Russians?

A senior Russian official tweeted an undiplomatic description of the United States and its allies on Wednesday, accusing it of behaving like “a monkey with a grenade” in the Muslim world. This, as Russia began to evacuate its citizens from Syria in advance of a possible U.S. military strike.

“The West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade,” Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin wrote on Twitter. The deputy prime minister is “known for his sharp tongue,” the Agence France-Presse news agency reported.

No, it isn't a racist statement because it was made by a Russian. If an American had made the statement, then it would have been racist.

Yep way to clarify that. We used to be the country of free speech until liberals were appointed all over by the boy king.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the official said that because Obama is black. Russia is quite racist.
