Syria: "Not an act of war." Give it a shot, Obama. It worked really well for the Japanese.

In WWII, we did not have to borrow money from the Chinese to fight the war.

"If I didn’t know better, I’d swear he’s trying to pull an FDR. Years of government programs that did not help the economy, then World War “make up” for it all."

You have to ask yourself: Do you really know better? Obama's created Syria crisis is doing a wonderful job of pushing everything else off the headlines and out of the minds of the citizenry.

I think he’s being blackmailed by the muslim brotherhood.

Zippo does the bidding of the MB or the MB releases info about our little lefty friends collaborating with al Qaeda terrorist, starting with Zippo and Hillary being the ones that orchestrated the attack in Benghazi.

Well, that and his bruised ego. But yes, he needs a distraction as the economy all but grinds to a halt under his policy of “rob productive whites and asians to get welfare money to buy the votes of welfare queens and wetbacks”.

Once the bombing is over and whatever administration in place...then we’ll be paying for Syria’s recovery of their country.

The Saud’s said they’d pay for the bombing...which will be tens of millions from what was said....but they did not say they’d pay to restore the country....you can bet because we bombed....and not just from Navy ships as Obama has lined up air bombing from our planes as well, we’ll be held accountable for rebuilding their country...especially since the UN would not go along.

Just part of a vast “fakeout” distraction. The trigger may be financial (see Poland on zero hedge)

The obamaumaocare debacle is putting force on our populace— this is the distraction while they consolidate our prison.
