I hear the usual suspects- GOP congressmen, Neocon "experts" from W's disastrous admin, and assorted Israeli spys in the media trying to steamroll Obama into getting the US military involved in Syria. "He's gassing his own people!!!"



I'm sure the GOP would just loooove to see Obama tangled up in his own kite strings, even if it kills American troops. And Israel won't be happy until we've done ALL their dirty work, and Eratz Israel is one big Miami Beach.

BUT... I gotta feeling the average American (like me ) has HAD IT with policing the ME.

(Plus... unlike Bush, Obama's not a moron )

Hmmm...I heard Obama talking about crossing a red line.

Seems like the guy who couldn't wait to get us into a war in Libya and sees no reason to leave Afghanistan is the one liking for a fight in Syria.



Hagel was the first to confirm the startling news. He read from a prepared statement: "The Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin."

But Hagel, consistent with administration policy, laced his announcement with carefully crafted caveats. Hagel said, "We still have uncertainties about what was used, what kind of chemicals was used, where it was used, who used it."

Secretary of State John Kerry told lawmakers that Syria used chemical weapons twice last month, once near Damascus and once in Aleppo. Victims appeared to have been gassed.

Mr. Obama has repeatedly said Syrian use of chemical weapons would cross a red line and could move the U.S. closer to military intervention in the Syrian civil war.

Mr. Obama said on Aug. 20, 2012, "A red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus."

That sure is a whole lotta saber rattling.

Last time I checked, Sen. Feinstein is a democrat.

If we intervene in Syria, I'm betting there will be some dumb loud cheering from both parties.
