This reminds me of the Serbian/Kosovo mess some 20 years ago

Hopefully this time, the Russians beat us there.

I find it exceedingly odd that Assad supposedly chem-ed his own people on the day UN weapons inspectors were due, and then what, hours later, the UN Security Council had n emergency meeting. It is all so bizarre.

We give the fox Muslim brothers the keys to the US hen house so they will not attack us, we hope. This is the china policy Nixon detente waged by looting libs. Of course they also jumped on the “stimulus” language to allow foreign aid and obamacare monsters.

Now Egypt is switching on us. Got to please the Moslem brothers in the White House and attempt giving them Syria.

“When going to Afghanistan, I kid you not, sycophant Ozero officers made us a speech about waging LBJs war of poverty in Afghanistan.”

I thank the good Lord that no family members nor friends are in our military with the left wingers running/ruining the military.

The untold story here is that they’ve found the chemical weapons from Saddam which the left denied ever existed. What we don’t know is if Assad or the Al Qaida backed rebels used them.

He is speaking, of course, about Congress.

He has Congress on his side, he has people like McCain and Gayham on his side, what does he care? Outside of a small handful of Republicans, the rest of the GOP is fully in support of an attack on Syria, simply by doing nothing to oppose it.

Where is Code Pink? Where is Cindy Sheehan? Where is Medea Benjamin? Not a peep from any of them. Guess this “war” is different.

AMAZING how quiet the Anti-War liberal left is on yet another pending undeclared war by the Peace Prize President Obozo Liar, isn't it??

LBJ went from being a so called great president with the liberals with his war on poverty, which is still being lost, to one of the worse presidents ever after he deepened the Nam War because of the so called Gulf of Tonkin event.

Now, Obozo Liar appears to be following in the footsteps of LBJ with his lies about Assad and Syria, while covering for the Muslim Brotherhood Thugs and al Queda in Syria.

"Obozo Liar is drawing us in and he will go with or without the consent of the Congress and the Consent of the Governed. This could be an impeachable act if he botches it and was not legally covered. What's it to him if a few US pilots get shot down, some guys get seriously injured in the cruise missile prep on our ships, Americans citizens are kidnapped by Hezbollah in Beirut,, US Embassy and consulates across the Middle East are MANPAD-ed with major strikes, and otherwise all hell breaks loose. Domestically, he can get NSA, Obozo care, Fox News wiretap-gate, IRS-gate and Benghazi off the front pages."

If Obozo Liar decides to attack the Syrian regime, he has ensured – for the very first time in history – that the United States will be on the same side as al-Qaeda. Quite an alliance! The Islamic thugs/serial killers, who slaughtered thousands of innocent Americans on 9/11, will then be fighting alongside the very nation whose innocents they so cruelly murdered almost exactly 12 years ago.
