OK-— I guess the Saudis are pulling the strings. You know the ones that arm, train, supply the Islamic monsters that butcher Christian kids.

Oh and pay off politicians in DC.

Simply supplying rebels is an act of war.

Worse than that, it' basically a war against Christianity and Christians, who will have no place in Syria should the mobros win.

This is put out there for one reason. If the government is shut down our troops won’t be paid!

I had a liberal say to me “Bush ought to send his daughters to the damned war in Iraq.” I doubt very seriously he is now saying “Obama should send his daughters to Syria.” I don’t know because I no longer speak to him.

A weird dynamic has gripped Americans since Obama came to power... I’ve lost liberal friends because of comments I’ve made about Obama... it’s amazing to see the adoration they have for him. Since libs don’t tend to have spiritual faith in anything except global warming “science,” their surrogate “god” tends to be Obama.... and even the slightest criticism of Obama results in screams of “blasphemy.”

I think the "Dog in the Fight" could be the USD as world reserve currency.

Syria may be a "fence" for the transfer of USD to Yuan or at least a major leak. It could be an attempt to put a band aid on the femoral artery. Anyone who tries to flee the USD may get a visit from a carrier group http://www.transfermate.com/en/exchange_rates_table_syp_cny.asp
