I do believe there is a huge difference between Attacking a country (Syria) and blowing up terrorists with the under the table approval from the governing body in a Country ("Drone Wars")

Ahhh...ok. So this perceived "under the table approval" gives you all the proof you need to thumbs up Barack's Drone Wars? Chemical weapons used by a dictator is nothing of much importance, but the idea that a terrorist group having chemical weapons gives you the comfort to support Barack in the Drone Wars?

What a freaking cop out if I've ever heard one! ANYTHING to protect this President.

Again, the speculation that "liburrals" and "cons" are two distinctive groups of idiots that love to argue on the web gains ground as the proof manifests itself here on CD. I'm a liberal I guess, I didn't vote Republican, I didn't love GWB, and I voted for Obama in 08. So, do I think Obama has done a lot for America? No I don't, same for GWB, or the decades long parade of lackeys that have passed through the White House.

I'm now left wondering how much longer America will continue this to and fro over party politics, the fact is that both parties are now so corporatized, so beholden to those who control the nations wealth that we'll never see much benefit from the two parties work or lack of it in D.C. This latest round of nonsense in Syria speaks to the fact that OUR problems here at home have been derailed by a phony set-up in the middle east, pumped by media and carried like a torch by the party faithful in order to deflect the obvious lack of concern by both parties about our domestic economic debacle.

Whether you consider yourself a liberal or a conservative has little bearing on the fact that Syria is just another piece of the puzzle in the American hegemonic scheme that is fully supported by both parties. Syria is in the middle east, so it will need to be dealt with, just as all of the nation states of that region will be asked to support American policies or face the prospect of military action carried out on their soil. Gas attacks aside, this kind of political theatre will continue in some form, drones, CIA hit squads, direct boots on the ground activity, and anything else that is required to facilitate the taming of the region in preparedness for resource extraction. Quite simple really, it's about money.

Liberals don't see anything wrong with Obama blaming GWB for all that was and is wrong with the US. Obama played "victim" when he first got into office whining about having to get US out of the mess George Bush "created" ....BS... Obama's official campaign was a crock and now we are stuck with a sitting duck that asks Soviet Russia for advice.
