It sounds like the White House is gunning for the support of Sen. John McCain in whipping up the necessary votes for Obama’s proposed use of force resolution for Syria, but McCain’s most recent line of thinking is that he can’t quite get behind the resolution because it doesn’t go far enough. He’s evidently looking for some clear-cut strategery and more defined and rebel-aiding goals tfrom the Obama administration before he casts his yea, but former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton — a.k.a., major Bush-era foreign policy hawk — doesn’t think getting involved in Syria at all is really in the United States’ interests, and that neither the Syrian government nor the rebel groups will prove particularly helpful to advancing U.S. goals. As Bolton points out, however, it’s looking increasingly likely that the White House will get the Congressional green-light on Obama’s resolution, because they are in full-on lobbying mode working to get their ducks in a row. Oof.
I would not have referred the matter to Congress, and I think if I were a member of Congress, I would vote against an authorization to use force here. I don’t think it’s in America’s interest. I don’t think we should, in effect, take sides in the Syrian conflict. There’s very little to recommend either side to me, and I think the notion that a limited strike, which is what the president seems to be pursuing, will not create a deterrent effect with respect either to Syria’s use of chemical weapons or, more seriously, Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Bolton knows the score. O’Reilly has sen McCain on. Pushing for syrian intervention . Limbaugh knows gas attacks were red flags.
False Flag not Red Flag
Bolton was gung ho to go to war over the weekend. He must have received his copy of this letter:
Dear Minions,
Quick, circle to the right and catch up with conservative public opinion.
Then try to steer it back to bombing Syria using some weasely step-at-a-time tricks.
After a few weeks, pass an authorization bill in the the middle of the night as the bombs start falling.
Yours truly,

The gas attacks may well have been false flags.
This entire thing stinks worse than Sarin. I’m listening to Juan right now and I can hear the lies pouring out.
“The Syrians are moderate! I asked them! People who deny something I have no evidence for are lying!”
Just sent a personal email to rep John Lewis Ga5. He’s always been a pacifist. At least I tried to be polite. Maybe he will retain his integrity. Vote. NO
O’Reilly has delivered his ‘grand prediction’ that if the president loses this vote, his presidency is finished... so any member on either side who votes for this is all aboard the ‘destroy America’ train.
I liked Bolton’s question on Fox news over the weekend, it went something like “of what significance is it to know whether or not chemical weapons were used if we don’t know who used them?”
In other words, “If we don’t know who used the chemical weapons, what difference does it make?”
Uh-oh. If he’s against it, can it really be all bad?
Red line = false flag
I liked Bolton’s question on Fox news over the weekend, it went something like
Even without all the facts, I’m with Bolton. He’s got the right idea on everything else.
Geez, if Yosemite Sam is against a war, you KNOW there must be trouble ahead.
