What is very scary to me is that I find myself agreeing with Putin on just about everything these days.

Where the Hell am I, and how the Hell did I get here?

Too mush slobbering over Putin on the board lately.

Lol..only for the delicate sensibilities of the neocons, nwo muppets, and other fixed position shallow thinkers of all political stripe who dislike the smell of hot coffee in the morning.

Its NONSENSE. John F****** Kerry’s “evidence” was “we believe”.
*******
It was more about emotion than evidence.

The world political “magnetic” poles are reversing when the Russians are asking for evidence of atrocities & the USA contemplates attacking a sovereign country without any national interest or legal justification for doing so.

Obama is looking more & more like Mussolini, not Hitler - a swaggering, but effete bully.

How long before Russia & China become the guardians of world peace even as the USA assumes the role of lawless pariah? Obama, followed by Clinton will see it happen.

You make a good point. Obama is accustomed to getting his way (without resistance) and has steadily pushed the envelope. Grabbing more and more power. He’s finally gone too far out on the limb. In hindsight, this was inevitable.

His dilema now is that, narcissist that he is, he feels compelled to do something to shine up his tarnished image but he fears the unknown consequences which could be worse than doing nothing. So he dithers even more. Its fun to watch actually.

Clinton was right: Obama is The Amateur.

Good post. Obama has come to think he can bully the world, just like he bullies the US. But he has finally run into resistance.

The British vote in Parliament was a stinging rebuke. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see French bring out the white flag (again).

Imagine, the Communist leader of Russia

Putin is no Communist.

Hollande needs the distraction as much as Obama does.

But, you're probably right. Hollande will bluster, then offer only culinary support (chefs & arrogant waiters).

Yet, I don't think either leader is considering the potential consequences. What happens when the orphanage is hit by mistake or sarin gas is blown into neighborhoods? How will Obama & Hollande respond to the inevitable videos of bloody, mangled, wounded & dead civilians? How will US, French, & World citizens respond? Is the Left so in love with these 2 men that they will ignore what they have raged against in the recent past? Are their hearts as dead as the Germans of the 1930s?

A firebrand Russian nationalist-turned-senior official said Tuesday that the West was acting in the Islamic world like a “monkey with a hand grenade.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s former envoy to NATO, did not elaborate on his comparison, made on his Russian-language Twitter page.

What drives me insane is the way that Obama talks as though he is the king and all the decisions are only his to make. If even that kiss-a$$ Dempsey is saying the sequester-crippled military does not have the resources to mount any serious response to Syria’s suspected action, you know there is serious push-back from the Pentagon.

Plus—since when is it more humane to murder children with relatively quick-acting poison gas than to blow them to bits or incinerate them?

Obama talks like a king because a complacent Congress refuses to object & a pandering MSM wont ask any hard questions.

I suspect the Pub leadership secretly hopes Obama does bomb Syria, killing many innocent people, & embroiling Obama in a murder scandal, which is exactly what any bombing would be. That there are long term consequences is irrelevant.

It seems probable that if Obama does bomb Syria without provocation or approval, then he is desperately trying to distance himself from the IRS, Benghazi, NSA scandals. How else to explain such a risky endeavor that cannot possibly have any positive effect on Assad or Syria.

The pacifist Leftists must be in a drug fueled stupor, curled into a fetal position sucking their thumb, to be ignoring/supporting this. When Nixon illegally bombed Cambodia, the backlash from the Left & the MSM was so powerful you would have thought he had bombed San Francisco.

-----------------

Drudge just reported Obama intends to strike. Congress, & especially the leadership should be removed from office for allowing this to happen without serious protest.
