US moves forces toward Syria

the Obama administration prepared for a possible military response by moving naval forces closer to Syria.

Obama discussed the situation in Syria by telephone with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the White House said. It was Obama's first known conversation with a foreign leader about Syria since the reports this week that hundreds of Syrians had been killed by the alleged chemical attack in a suburb of Damascus, the capital.

Obama and his worshipers never had God's approval to lose it. The inhabitants of the United States of America for saying, by a majority of votes cast, may have lost God's approval. Once God's approval is lost, God's judgment follows.

Since neither Obama nor his worshipers care about either God's approval nor God's judgment. it does not matter, does it?

And if the rebels, supported by Obama, released the chemical weapons themselves? He is still putting the Muslim Brotherhood in....AGAIN! ...what is it going to take for people to understand this man is a USA Anti-Christ?

He is well on the way. For him, this is an effective cost-cutting measure. Imagine the USA with one aircraft carrier and a few missile boats. Do you know what kind of savings that would be for the country? Heck after getting rid of the Navy, he’ll try to run for a 3rd term...

Obozo will act under a U.N. resolution passed a couple of years ago called, “Responsibility to protect”.

Seeing as Hezbollah and Iran are intimately involved in Syria...this could spread quickly.

Iran may use an American attack on Syria as an excuse to begin attacking Israeli targets. Will see.

Iraqi WMD’s.........ended up in Syria.

I say stay the hell out of it. This is a civil war. Watch it closely, but do not intervene unless Israel or American interest are attacked.

But....but, if we just have to go in, take out Iranian nuke sites while we are at it.

Kill two muzzies with one stone.

Is it any F’n wonder why so many in the world hate Americans?

In my lifetime, seriously, I cannot remember a time when America was NOT at war. Sure, it may not be a declared war by constitutional standards, but America has been in major military conflicts throughout my life.

Who the the world set America up as the world's cop. Besides, this is a civil war. Muzzies killin muzzies...sounds like, well, less muzzies. So why not let’em duke it out.

I hate when children and woman get caught up in war, but shouldn't the muzzie world deal with this?

The muzzie world has historical relationships that shouldn’t be ignored.

When fallible and uninspired men assume dominion over the faith of the McSheeple, stuff like that happens.

“Arc of Crisis” is a concept popularized by Obama’s mentor ZBigniew Brzezinski.

After Iraq and Afghanistan, I have little stomach for yet another half-baked war. After 9/11, I was completely onboard with waging war, although it quickly became apparent that we were more in the business of nation building than nation destruction.

From a strategic point of view, after taking Iraq and Afghanistan, we had Iran sandwiched between the two, just waiting to be destroyed. (To follow this line of thinking, forget all assets and dollars that we dedicated to rebuilding and winning the hearts and minds of Muslim scum.) Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan would serve as the base to destroy Islam. Syria would be minor battle if they did not stop supporting terrorists and destroy their weapons of mass destruction.

Jordan would be shaking in their boots and do anything we would want. (Such as providing the so-called Palestinians a home of their own on the East Bank of the Jordan River.) Turkey would recognize our strength and would be forced in a direction of an even more secular government.

The big problem America would have is picking a fight with Saudi so we could destroy Mecca and suck their oil dry along with Iraq and Iran's.

Bush was more intent on nation building, and it had nothing to do with the American nation. I would have much preferred an approach that crippled Islam at its core, secured a Jewish state free of terrorists, and to use middle east oil to fund the war. The end game would be the absolute destruction of OPEC, an illegal cartel. Take oil out of the equation and Muslims will be living in the 8th century where they belong.

As a nation we never clearly identified our true enemies - ALL MUSLIMS and all Islamic nations.

Paying attention to history is an important duty.

Today people can't even pay attention to a person sitting with them.

History is going to repeat itself, only in a more cruel way.
And the outcome, well...probably not so good.

Even Hitler was Time's man of the year.
Shame on everyone enabling the charade.

Me too. I supported our actions against Afghanistan and Iraq. Not so sure if our going after Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do now. We WERE justified to do so but since Saddam's Iraq was the enemy of Iran we should have left things alone there. That's what I think now.

Libya was not even close to justification. Neither is Syria.
