Obama has not made the case for destroying alleged weapons of mass destruction. His rhetoric at this point has been retaliation and teaching Syria a lesson.
If they can identify and locate poison gas or chemical weapons storehouses, then we should have taken them out already.
If Syria has these weapons he got them from Saddam. Therefore we need no justification whatsoever to take them out. This would fall under the congressional authorization for the war with Iraq.
Obama doesn’t have a clue how to play a tactical war game that you buy at Wal mart. He has no business being the commander in chief.
I agree that Obama is no commander in chief. Sadly, long before he’d run an operation to destroy wmds, he’d probably inform al Qaeda where any wmds were so they’d become al Qaeda property. That’s my assessment of his ultimate loyalties.
None of this changes the reality that destroying any wmds would be in the national security interest. I’m convinced a President Cruz would understand that. I’m not convinced a President Paul would. While Paul’s stand would be principled, it would be wrong.
You know what they say, “You break it, you bought it.”
I agree.I am not in support of Paul, he just happened to be right about the US supporting bad people in the middle east.I would love A Cruz presidency.
-——obama would save some face if he went to Congress. Then he can say, the blood be on you /Pilate-——
Never happen..... His ego is far too massive....
-——It may be his only option.——
Since he thinks he is king.... His options are endless at least in his mind....
His only concern is whatever he does... It cannot hurt the dems chance to win the house in 2014...
I agree with you about eliminating the weapons. But I want them preserved and brought here for examination first. I don’t want them destroyed in place (and with them, the evidence).
Why? Because I want to know exactly where they came from. If they were made locally and recently, fine. But if it turns out they came from Iraq, I want to see every bastid who hollered “Bush lied, people died!” hung from the lampposts.
The problem with all of that is, I don’t want to put a single life at risk to recover them. I heard somebody write this earlier today: A few cruise missiles or even a B2 raid aren’t going to impress people who have been shooting and bombing each other for years.
Let's face it, we don't want our own government to have those weapons. I don't care who's the "President," I don't trust them to not use them on us. If we get our hands on the ones in Syria, I want them destroyed as soon as we've documented them. Do a CSI on them, if you will.
But if it turns out they came from Iraq, I want to see every bastid who hollered “Bush lied, people died!” hung from the lampposts.
Staying in a country is a choice. Staying in a middle eastern country trying to perfect it is a stupid choice.

Greetings,
Last week marked the one-year anniversary of my victory in the Texas Republican Primary for the United States Senate. That victory was made possible because a grassroots army of thousands of activists across Texas saw that the country was in trouble and stepped forward to fix it. Because of that amazing effort, I’m honored to fight for 26 million Texans each and every day in the Senate.
Now we need to do it again — but this time on a national scale. This September, Congress will have the opportunity to defund Obamacare, but it will only happen if the American people rise up and demand it. Please keep reading below to find out how we can stop Obamacare and for an update on the latest in Washington — then share this latest newsletter with your Facebook friends and Twitter followers.
All the best,
TC Sig

Correct. That would be just a little more difficult if we got the hardware in our hands.
Taking out chemical weapon stockpiles cant be done via air power alone
