I was about to post something on that.

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.

Give bubba a break, he just forgot the best way to deal with the self-Righteous is to simply say: "Well, I don't remember"

Exactly what I was thinking of. Why didn't any of the CongressCritters think to get John to clarify.

Secretary Kerry, are you just talking about strike from the air on ground targets? Military targets like runways, planes, military equipment?
(John say absolutely correct)

Secretary Kerry - Would you say that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor against planes, ships & military equipment ..... was NOT an act of war?
(John says you are a meanie, we are not talking about Pearl Harbor AND it was so long ago.)

We didn't go to war with Libya, we just through bombs in there... what we did was mercy, not war... I have a hard time understanding why other countries don't want our mercy... I mean mercy is good, right?

Ummmm ok John. The question still remains will you try and defund they young American's in harms way before or after you send them there?
Then I guess Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't an act of war either. They were just trying to degrade our naval capacity.

I used to think of Obama as a man of peace. An honest man with a true heart and a fear of God. That went away the day he flew to Lybia and shot those poor Americans in cold blood. When I heard about Benghazi on the news I couldn't stop shaking. How could something like that happen in the world? How could the President of the United States mercilessly murder those four innocent people? It broke me down to the core of my being.

Ever since Benghazi I haven't been able to sleep or eat. I take 5 perscription medications daily to calm my shattered nerves. I haven't told my children about Benghazi yet. I don't know how. How do you tell teenagers that there is such cruelty in the world? I would rather them be happy like I was before Benghazi.

Will the world ever be the same after Benghazi? I really don't think it will. One day once all of us who have lived through the horror of Benghazi have come and gone maybe the world can begin to heal. Maybe then will we, as human beings in this global society, be able to create new memories. Postitive memories. Memories that will help us move past the Obama Benghazi Massacre.

Time will tell.

Wait a second what do you even mean? Republicans were hell bent on leading the libyan invasion and picking up the pieces when ghadaffi was gone. Also republicans along with democrats wanted to arm the rebels who were without question al qaeda and or aligned with al qaeda.

The rebels in Libya were terrorist, the rebels in Syria ARE Terrorist. obviously who has the backing of al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood/ arab league. The rebels know that the US will side with rebel activity in disguise as a democracy uprising

Libya Was ran by a secular government
Syria is ran by a secular government John Kerry claims rebels are secular, but that doesnt make sense they are fighting christians in Syria and are backed by al qaeda who are sunni muslims

I'm just going to post this in as many Syria threads as possible until everyone understands it's the same thing.
