Lawmakers who were early champions of a U.S. strike on Assad regime targets in Syria have stayed mum as video clips emerge appearing to show opposition soldiers both killing unarmed men and indicating they have possession of chemical weapons.

Yigal Carmon, the president of the Middle East Media Research Institute, who also reviewed the tape, said, "The message is if the West doesn't act, we (the rebels) too will have no red lines, and will use chemical weapons."

"There are times where we have to make hard choices if we're going to stand up for the things we care about," Obama said ...

I guess Obama really cares about helping Al Qaeda...

Ahhhhh....got sucked in by Obama's Press Corpse, did they?

Silly rabbits.

Okay, so you cross the red line (officially, if it wasn't you the last time). That will just make targeting easier. If it's armed, bomb it. (/sarc, sorta)

Almighty Father, please give our Government the good sense to stay out of this mess, as is Your Will. I ask this in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Right....send in the Drones to target the Mosques, schools, and public areas where the terrorists ALWAYS hide, so maximum photographing of dead women, children, and babies can be shown to the world....using human shields is the towelheads' preferred defensive posture.

Likewise, with our "open borders" policy, the USA is FILLED with the Muslim camel-humping Allah-suckers that will target OUR women, children, and babies in strategic repraisal attacks.

Until we get off the "Political-correctness" and enabling of the Muslims and start rounding them up and shipping them back to the desert, we are ALWAYS gonna be at risk, AND, they are taking over control of our government due to the Muzzie-in-Chief.

Ah, I got it -—— O-I-L.

Don’t we also care for the people in North Korea who have and are living under more horrific circumstances for decades?

Did we do anything for the people suffering under Pol Pot?

So, if we get proof that the rebels used the gas, do we stop training, arming, feeding, fueling, and funding them? Do we start killing them? Or are we so wrapped up and culpable in covertly starting this “civil war”, that the truth just doesn’t matter?

I'm guessing dismembering a live Christian girl, is not one of those things...

I would wager that a great number of the "rebels" are foreign fighters, the rest are tribes working together for their piece of the pie. If we are funding any of them, we shouldn't be, just as we shouldn't have messed with Egypt or Libya, either.

The only reasonable benefit there was to the Muslim Brotherhood, who is allied with Al Qaida--the very same people we are fighting elsewhere.

There is something screwy with "foreign policy" at the highest levels, and it smells like treason.

The truth NEVER has mattered to these ass hats in the Odumbo administration.

So, the terrorists are saying “We used chemicals on our own people to get you to bomb Assad. If you don’t, we’ll used chemicals on Assad’s people.” It’s call extortion. The old Mafia would be proud.

Obama is with Al Qaeda!!! Count on it!!! If you think he is not trying to destroy the USA....you are either smoking reefer, drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, or just plain madly insane!!! End of story!!!
