Sure is a lot of "chatter" coming from Washington this afternoon.

JPost, as usual, has a good summary of where we are at the moment.

Valerie Jarrett is on the cusp of starting WWIII.

[bravo whiskey]

typical friday afternoon hide the news day. this bastard is going to get us in another war on the wrong side and stab the troops in the back.

[rbg81]

If Assad falls, Al Qaeda & the Brotherhood take over. Of course I’m no fan of Assad or Hezbollah (which backs him). So....pass the popcorn.

[mojito]

You can add Samantha Power to that camarilla too.

[bigheadfred]

are these deaths confirmed

[Bender2]

Re: ... and plans for using cruise missiles capable of targeting Syria wC had also been included.

...capable of targeting Syria without entering the country's airspace...???

What are they going to do tunnel up from the Med?

[AU72]

This cannot end well for the US. There is a straight line from the Libyan leading with your behind to Benghazi.

What Obama is planning is the start of the next Mideast war.

[ColdOne]

He is going to do it isn’t he?

[cherokee1]

The list of targets ought to be getting smaller since the Syrias seem to be destroying their own stuff about as fast as anybody else could. But the one that counts is Basher and his close circle of friends. And that brings up the question of how fast/how long he is moving around? Is he in Qdaffy/Saddam mode? Hiding in every available culvert pipe? Or is he still proud of his palace and hanging out there as tho he’s still in charge? That worked out so good for Mubarrak.

[mojito]

To the best of my knowledge, there has been NO independent confirmation of the death toll.

[mojito]

Yep. He drew his “line in the sand” over chemical weapons and now has to act, or is compelled to act, unless he wants to look exactly like the incompetent, impotent doofus everybody in the world knows him to be.

[Paine in the Neck]

Where’s the international consensus? Where is the UN resolution? Where is Congress?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

He’s gotta make up for Putin insulting the gays.

[ColdOne]

What a evil pyle he is.

[Navy Patriot]

Where’s the international consensus? Where is the UN resolution? Where is Congress?

Non existent, as will be the immunity for the US military if they follow these orders.

Remember Nuremberg.

[RightGeek]

Er, what pressure is that exactly? Bammy got a call from his terrorist pals?

[penelopesire]

Meanwhile..this ridiculous administration opens a new front on Twitter of all places:

Are there any grown ups available in this administration at all? Good grief!

They will not rest until they create an AQ outpost out of Syria.
