Kind of shocked they didn't say Prussia and The Ottoman Empire.

What people are missing is that when 0bama and Kerry keep saying no boots on the ground, they mean in this instance. Now that Kerry is talking about blow back, did he happen to mention that it will be necessary to put boots on the ground, or is it going to be handled by putting boots on the sea and boots in the air???

When will people understand it's not left and right. It's politician and citizen.

If these morons vote yes, I never want to hear about how much money it costs, lives lost, etc. This isn't about being attacked on our own soil. This is saving face, on the part of Obama. And the warmongers in congress are in lockstep right behind him.

We don't know who is on what side. Our SoS loved Assad before he hated him. We don't know who did what.

But we're going in, because it's been awhile since Obama was able to strut about, acting like he's a "man", because he did something tough. No strategy. No objective. Disgusting....

I thought he hated the Vietnam war? And here we are, entering into a conflict that doesn't impact our safety at all.

It's your choice to allow your hate to consume you.

You obviously do not know what we are planning, it is not like Vietnam.

Vietnam wasn't like Vietnam until it became like Vietnam.

Same goes for Iraq.

I'm hateful for speaking like Obama?

I guess no one made fun of Bush's language, did they?

Kerry is a nut.

it's a different world.. more high power nuclear weapons in more countries. We depend more on middle east oil than in the 70's. Our power grid is vulnerable. Our communications are vulnerable. We are more global today. We have become the world police and the American people have to foot the bill.

I do know the topic, just because I'm not a blind supporter of Obama doesn't mean I'm uneducated. I don't support us going there. Sorry.

Also, I do think this will be another Iraq or Afghanistan. No, this will not just be a quick missile and get out. Obama has managed to screw just about everything up that he's done and this will be another one.
