you are making the assumption that Obama has a clue what his decision is.

dude is neck deep in panicdoodoo and doesnt know what to do.

The only thing he really knows is he got is crayons out and drew a red line on some constuction paper.

someone crossed his line and now if he doesnt do something about it, he looks like an idiot. but if he does do something about it, he looks like a warmonger and an idiot.


He cant want Assad to lose, because if he does then Al Queda gets control of Syria. He cant want Assad to win because then Iran and Assad are more powerful.


Bammer is double screwed and he knows it. He isnt telling anyone the "decision" because he doesnt know what it is.



Im going to help him out. You Dems that are paid to be on these sites spewing the talking points take NOTE and go tell the IDIOT IN CHIEF.


Send this to congress for a vote and at the same time, insult the republicans. Then they will shoot down his request and he will have his out, and he can blame the "obstuctionist republicans" again.

I cant believe I have to be the one to tell him this because he has already done exactly this on dozens of occations.

But we all know how the right supports war under an R but not under a D. That's call hypocrisy, learn it.
just spewing out garbage, aren't ya.

It's not about issues or people or any of that.
It's all about the party and when your party is in control whatever they want to do is right.
Don't be touting the facts now. Obama is carrying Bush's tradition of using drones and Cruise missiles like any good Hawk should.

So a couple of hundred bombs over the course of a few days is not an act of war.
And we're doing it because Assad poses a direct threat on US security.

Well then couldn't that very same excuse and action be used on us ?

Iran could do that to us saying we posed a direct threat on them..which we have and are doing.
We created stuxnet and purposely cyberattacked them.
And the head of our cyberwarfare said if anyone attacked us with a stuxnet like virus that would be an act of war.

The precedent you set ..rogue invasion could very well come back and haunt you in your own back yard.

Really? Should we run down the list of wars over the past 60 years, who started them, and why?

Oh really ?

I'll remember that next time North Korea points their missiles to the US.
Now Iran has nothing to fear about dropping a nuke or two in the Grand Canyon.

Why ? Well bombing a country is not an act of war.
Apparently, if Cuba were to launch only several missile into the Miamis Florida area, and never had Cuban boots on the ground in Florida, it would not be viewed as an act of war by the left. I mean, even if the Cuban military flew aircraft into Florida, and dropped bombs that killed Americans and destroyed buildings and infrastructure, it would still not be considered an act of war.

I think the Obama admin took a different route, because i heard Kerry blaming the "obstructionist Russians."

Because of the guaranteed Russian obstructionism of any action through the UN Security Council, the UN cannot galvanize the world to act as it should,” Kerry said in a speech at the State Department, hours after British lawmakers voted against any British involvement in action against Syria.
