Can't the same be said for the 9/11 attacks?

No boots on the ground there, either.

Just a precision air strike with no boots on the ground. Thats all.
Yep, somehow the Japanese attacking Peral harbor was an act of infamy, but doing the same to Syria is just fine and dandy.

BTW, do you hear the praise in Kerry's voice for the rebels, when only 25% or so are evil bad men? But he characterized our Vietnam soldiers as the epitome of evil, after only citing a handful of questionable stories of atrocities.

And somehow the self-Righteous who are whining about the idea of Obama sending an air strike had NO problem invading/occupying a country with NO connection to those attacks. What a bunch of damn hypocrites!

WHEN/WHERE did he characterize our Vietnam soldiers as the epitome of evil? Or do you just not understand the meaning of 'characterize'?

That would have been a few years back, somewhere between the time of Ghengis Kahn and when Kerry became Sec of State.

Isn't it funny when we want to do it then we redefine it so it doesn't sound so bad.
This is PC at work folks.
You mean when one has to restrain their true inner self so that they don't appear to be full-on bat-crap crazy to normal people? I don't know that from personal experience but I can see where the extremist right would feel that way.

Our Democratic President wants to bomb Syria and kill Syrians in order to send a message to Assad telling him not to kill Syrians.


The US is going to kill people with bombs to make Assad stop killing people with chemicals.

Yeah..I guess only the "extreme right" thinks like that

Or in your imagination until you support your allegation with fact.

Our foreign policy has featured bipartisan stupidity for a good many years now with no end in sight.
