Anything to divert from the scandals breaking out weekly in this administration. Hey, if it worked for Bubba Clinton, it might work for Booboo.
What happens in Syria isn't our problem, we need to stay the heck out of it. One group of crazy azz nutcases killing another bunch of crazy azz nutcases...the story of the ME. Our involvement isn't going to change that. Hopefully we learned from our mistake in Iraq and Afghanistan and don't repeat the same crazy chit.
Bubba Clinton was going after OBL when he was accused of that.
Does Obama have any campaign promises he's not broke yet?
The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced Thursday.
Hope and Change we can believe in, from a Nobel Peace Prize winner. What an effing joke. Why are we choosing sides in a war we have no business being in? Why are we arming rebels that the people of Syria want out of their country? Why don't we go through the UN in pursuit of non-violent resolutions? Why are we giving terrorists guns that will likely be used against us at some point in the future? God, the politicians never, ever learn. And that nutbag warmonger McCain, god why is anyone listening to him? Oh well, apparently the hegemony must live on at any cost.
What ever happened to the days when there were proper and formal declarations of war? It used to be if a nation was offended or under true threat - or it was attacked...or vital American interests were being interfered with that congress would declare war because there was no other option. This business of declaring war because someone has weapons of mass destruction. Ordinary weapons if given enough time are capable of mass destruction...The moral reasoning that someone is using poison gas is not enough of a reason. It is insincere to suggest that American administrators are vigilant saviors of the vulnerable.
What is going on in Syria is simply two factions seeking domination of a nation...Kind of like two mafia families competing for turf.
Americans have forgotten what domestic and international rule of law is...There is no moral high ground to be protected. Why would anyone even suggest that American tax payers should supply weapons to on set of chumps to over throw another set of chumps? Who is going to profit from weapon distribution and who is going to pay for it...I suggest that those who lobby for war or look for an excuse are those who seek to benefit from the conflict...Those profiteers get rich while the common American pays and later pays when someone buys a pressure cooker...It's simply improper to support so called "rebels"...it really is not any bodies business who is over throwing who.
Those same 'rebels' you are describing have control of the chemical plant. If any chemical weapons are used on these people, it will be them using them, with our blessing.
The military serve the military and this corrupt gov't, we are just the peons that foot the bill.
So America sides on the side of those who do not use chemical weapons? Or those that use chemical weapons? Does it truly matter who is using the bad weapons and who is using the good weapons? Why does a nation such as America with a rotting infrastructure - increasing poverty and social unrest want o foot the bill for these goofs? Speaking of footing the bill...who pays for these weapons that will be sent to the "rebels"? American arms suppliers expect the common working American to pay- and those that control weapons manufacturing and distribution get a little richer...the tax payer does not... You have to ask the question - what is in it for the average American to get involved with Syria? NOTHING...you get nothing out of it other than the possibility of eventually losing a son or daughter so some chumps can have a gold plated toilet.
Ben Rhodes, the White House national security advisor behind the claim that President Bashar Al-Assad used chemical weapons in Syria, is a fiction writer with zero educational background in government, diplomacy or national security who also played a key role in covering up the truth behind the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Yesterday, Rhodes announced that the White House had “high confidence” that the Syrian Army had used chemical weapons, providing no evidence, and that the Obama administration would now take steps to arm FSA rebels, who as has been widely documented are being led by Al-Qaeda terrorists who killed U.S. troops in Iraq. The Wall Street Journal also reports that a no fly zone is being prepared that would embroil the United States in yet another war.
Wag the Dog” is a political strategy in which a national leader starts a military operation to divert negative attention away from himself. In 1997, Hollywood produced a Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman movie by the same name about an American President caught up in a sex scandal that decides to start a war in the Balkans to distract the public. Eighteen months later with President Bill Clinton facing a sex scandal, he started a war in the Balkans.
With embattled President Barack Obama facing a scandal about electronic spying on the private lives of almost every voter in America, it should not be surprising that he would make “a decision to provide lethal assistance,” including weapons, ammunition, and air support, to the Syrian rebels. Using wag the dog might have worked in the past, but the mushrooming privacy scandal seems destined to grow.
Why does this civil war in Syria have anything to do with the USA?
Aren't we already fighting a war in Iraq over Mythical Middle East WMDs?
Why is killing them with gas somehow worse than cutting their heads off?
