Any Syria strikes will be symbolic, limited: experts

So Obama wants to kill Syrians for purely symbolic reasons?

Great question.......What a sick, sick human and administration and sycophant media.

If you're going to send a message, use Western Union. If you're going to use weapons, treat them seriously.

We had enough of futile "sending messages" to the North Vietnamese under that idiot Robert McNamara. Let's not repeat that bit of history.

Symbolic means no one is harmed. If that’s the case, then what’s the point.

If he means the deaths would be symbolic, then that’s proof he’s a sick monster.

Maybe we should just deliver some high-tech weapons systems to Al-Queda and let them use them I any way they see fit.

Too late!

As Andrew Wilkow noted on his radio show yesterday, the coming war will be unique in that there is no major incident involving the US to trigger it--no Rancho de Carricitos, no Fort Sumter, no USS Maine, no Lusitania, no Zimmermann Telegram, and no Pearl Harbor. And we are not invoking anything like the Domino Theory to justify it.

Stole this terrific send off re Syria from HotAir,

Who ya’ gonna’ believe?
An Administration who lied about:
.Benghazi
.IRS
.NSA
.Fast and Furious
.Obamacare, etc

And Secretary State Kerry who lied about
.American war crimes in Vietnam
.Having been in Cambodia
.About his non-existent war wounds

Or your own common sense?

Hey, what could go wrong?

Bush dropped a bunker buster bomb on a bunker full of civilians in Bagdad. Clinton bombed the Chinese embassy in Serbia.

Chemical weapons are COMPLETELY incinerated when bombed, right? They never blow around in the wind, right?

No one will retaliate for a US bombing, & it will NOT escalate the war, right?

Given our Bozo-in-Chief, I am skeptical.

Hmm...symbolic? Limited? I’m concluding that as a symbol of the 0bama administration’s support for al Qaeda, the corpses will only be a little bit dead. Sure is swell to have a deep thinker in charge.

Just to show he’s no patsy, OBimbo will take out two - count ‘em - TWO aspirin factories.

The political status that we’re in guarantees anything done by the empty suit taking up space in the Executive branch
will make things emphatically worse.

Correction: The political status that we’re in guarantees anything done by the empty suit taking up space in the Executive Office will only make things emphatically worse.

.......LBJ and tricky Dick were constantly “sending messages” via bombing raids to HO...............

sadly, only several of thousands of raids “delivered” (between December 18 & Dec. 29 of 72) sent a message that was “received” by Ho................and, these few raids could have happened 10 years earlier, ended the war in weeks, and saved thousands of GI’s lives and millions of Vietnamese............bottom line: “our politicians historically are just plain DUMB !

.....who was the worst president? LBJ “they can’t bomb an outhouse without my permission” OR; “If my mouth’s moving I’m lying” Obama !! Ha! good question hunh!?

when will we ever learn?

a million camels just sighed in deep relief.

How utterly creepy.
