Wow...

This country is playing some extremely dangerous games, Ernest.

*shakes head*

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Just another Shell Game....Obama’s handiwork.

[Tzimisce]

Great - let’s back the al Queda group. :D

[onedoug]

...islamists all....

[lurk]

Another radical state on Israel’s border. What could go wrong?

Well, I gotta go with the side of freedom, represented by China and Russia on this one. The USSA is backing the terrorists immigrants in Syria, members of Al Queda, given US taxpayer money, and US funded weapons, to fight Syria’s secular leader Asshat, then remove him, to install an Islamicist totalitarian government like in Egypt, Libya and in Washington DC. I hope the Communist Islamist Kenyan meets crushing defeat in Syria.

It's like the game of RISK - where Israel will be boxed in like Western Australia, Syria is to the North, Egypt to the South. How much you wanna bet Jordan falls before Memorial Day?

This was OBL's grand plan - somebody else is making it happen for him.

“We’ve made a decision that the Syrian Opposition Coalition is now inclusive enough, is reflective and representative enough of the Syrian population ..."

Oh, really? Do they recognize gay marriage? What is their position on the endangered shiffle-backed Syrian tortoise? Have they agreed to use only Green RPGs in civilian areas? Will they support Syrian minority traditional head chopping techniques for settling family disputes?

[Carry_Okie]

Unexpected!

not.

Buried in this business news...we have something of interest::

High Tide: From IBM’s Stalled FCPA Settlement to U.S.-Russia Talks on Syria

*******************************************EXCERPT*************************************

Sanctions:

A report for the U.S. Congress found Iran is no closer than it ever was to obtaining a long-range missile. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R., Fla.) doesn’t like the waivers Washington issued on Iran sanctions. More coverage of the renewal of exemptions to U.S. sanctions on Iran is here and here. (Reuters, news release, Wall Street Journal, Reuters)

Russia stepped up its opposition to international intervention in Syria. European ministers are going to meet the opposition. Ankara and Moscow won’t risk economic ties over Syria. The U.S. and Russia talked about the future of Syria at a meeting in Geneva. The United Nations chief warned Syria about its chemical weapons movement. The U.K. thinks there’s proof Damascus intends to use them. Could Iran’s Qods Force be the one to do it? A Syrian rebel group with ties to al Qaeda that the U.S. may label as a foreign terror organization has proven to have some of the most effective fighters against the regime. (Al Monitor, Wall Street Journal, Al Monitor, Guardian, Wall Street Journal, BBC, Iran Focus, NY Times)

Japan, the U.S. and South Korea are all eyeing tougher sanctions on North Korea. (Nikkei)

Obambi, you are going to go down in history as the Islamist apologist/supporter that you are, as your buds, Muslim Brotherhood builds and causes havoc throughout.

I'm actually getting a kick out of watching the Islamists take over the "Arab Spring". You're going to own the next war in the Middle East. Can't wait. And, there is no way you will be able to spin that on Bush. Haha.

Just do it, Israel.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

He is working somewhere between voting “present” and “leading from behind”.

[TigersEye]

Was the ‘Arab Spring’ ever anything but Islamists who were schooled by MoveOn.org international communist community organizers?

Just posted this:

"The SOC isn’t being groomed as some sort of serious successor to power in Syria, it’s a political fig leaf that lets the west intervene in the fighting — ostensibly on behalf of some sort of liberal democratic government-in-waiting. Tonight’s news is just O’s way of signaling to Americans that, while we’re getting more involved over there, we’re certainly not going to make nice with any dirty terrorists. Don’t you feel relieved?"

Wellllll. Don't you?

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

They already got a US ambassador killed. No telling what else is coming down the blow back pipe. There is also some news about a battle between Kurds and the Rebels up in the north east area. Now we have an Al Qeada affiliated terrorist organization just overrun the main Syrian military base near Aleppo. Rumored to contain a significant WMD facility. So just how are they going to convince Al Qeada to handover their newly acquired WMD to a group recognized and assembled by the US president ? The person who ordered the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al Qeada. They call this a plan ? We would of had been better off leaving Assad alone.

"...that they commit themselves to a political transition that respects women’s rights and minority rights."

Okay. And yet Obama bows to the actual King of abuse of women's rights in Saudi Arabia.

"There are some who, I think, have adopted an extremist agenda, an anti-U.S. agenda, and we are going to make clear to distinguish between those elements."

And exactly what are you going to do other than offer rhetoric in your perpetual campaign? Send Hillary to smile and shake hands? You people are simpletons and have no sense of the evils of the world. Even though you are briefed (on occasion) from the best intel sources, you wallow in your one world beliefs that if you play nice, the world will play nice, also. But then maybe your own appointed NSA, CIA, DOD directors just tell you want you want to hear so your not late for your tee time.

You all are just plain street stupid. I would love to see you dropped into Somalia without security and talk your way out. What a rude awakening you would have. Hell, I'd like to see you dropped into East Los Angeles Mexican Mafia territory and see what happens. Or maybe into a Hells Angels or Mongols clubhouse/block. None of you would last a hour. They would eat you alive as you try to preach to them.

Extrapolate the above to the various rogue nations and realize why so many dis-respect you and look upon you with contempt. You bleeding-heart socialists will never understand that there are some people/cultures/nations that are unrelenting in their pursuits of domination and evil, and cannot be appeased no matter HOW much your heart believes they can be redeemed.

You fools are leading the most prosperous, generous, inventive nation down into the abyss of socialism that has never worked. If I had just 10 minutes to talk with you DC fools, I could easily point out the failures of the 1960's communes, not to mention why the Pilgrims were dying until they let go of their communism and accepted free enterprise.

Your socialist ideology is killing this Great Experiment and history will blame you for wasting such an opportunity! I BLAME YOU NOW!

Hairyape, I think at some point in the very foreseeable future, there is going to being absolute and total Hell to pay for what our country has done and what we the people have allowed it to do.

I hate to say that, because I’m part of the we the people, and I did my best to stop this, but it was not enough. We are all on a doomed ship.
