Rogers: Iran and North Korea Are Watching Obama’s Red Line on Syria By Patrick Brennan April 28, 2013

On ABC’s This Week, Representative Mike Rogers argued that the president’s presentation of a “red line” on Syria’s use of chemical weapons — which Rogers and other congressmen argue has been confirmed this week — has put him in a serious bind, because “more than just Syria, Iran is paying attention to this, North Korea is paying attention to this. The options aren’t huge, but some action needs to be taken.”

“It can’t be a dotted line; it can’t be anything other than a red line,” Rogers said.

Let me get this straight. You think we should go to war in Syria?

*******

No I do not. I was speaking about the cowardice Obama has shown throughout his presidency. If he has no sanctions or other diplomatic ways of handling Syria he should keep his mouth shut about drawing red lines he knows they will cross. That was all.

Shake has a more realistic worldview than does Obummer.

Chemical weapons? Now, where on earth did Syria get
chemical weapons? Iran? North Korea? Somewhere else?
Or did they manufacture the chemicals themselves?

Everybody knows Iraq had chemical weapons that they
used against Iran and their own people. And, of course
we all know Bush “lied” about Iraq’s chemical weapons.
But, has anybody ever sought out the location Iraq’s
leftover chemical weapons from the Iran-Iraq war?
Where were they destroyed? I must have missed
something. My apologies to the Bush haters if I did.

Meanwhile, Meatwad voted for toast. An excellent decision, though.

When you have a President with no moral compass, no promise need be kept, no threat need be taken seriously, no crime will necessitate judicial or military action.

I can’t think of a single leader who has made the US look as weak as it does now.

We import terrorists, who we house, clothe, and feed. We ignore warnings about those people from their countries of origin, and we give them their Miranda rights after they launch terrorist attacks on the nation.

We fail to send assistance when our foreign diplomats are being murdered because we failed to provide them requested security in the first place. After that, we fail to find the perpetrators, even after they are interviewed in Starbucks.

Despite the fact that the vast majority of attacks on this nation are committed by Muslims, any mention of Islam has been scrubbed from military training manuals, while Baptists and people who believe in traditional marriage are labeled enemies of the state.

It’s unbelievable just how stupid this country is. Obama... TWICE!

Red line is a hazard. Take the stroke in, the penalty and drop the ball no closer to the hole.

That’s how he will play it.

The US should randomly bomb Islamic countries all the time. They should also arm random Islamist assholes and their friends. They should also arm their random enemies. They should blame everybody all the time.

How did we ever let these morons get organized? They should be fighting their stupid, gay, turf wars in perpetuity. The US should be the equivalent of another planet.

Sickening the west is losing the PR war to these savages.

Reminds me of the episode of Andy Griffith when Opie faced a bully.

The Boston bombings should be the last straw.

We should begin by putting a moratorium on new mosque construction in the USA, and survail the rest.

Begin to deport Islamist leaders who publicly espouse jihad against America and its interests.

Announce that we will not apologize for future profiling and changes in our laws that will make America a very inhospitable place for the “religion of peace” to promulgate.

Consequences would accrue to all Islamists, this is what the “good” ones get for not being visible and forceful in opposition to the radicals in their midst.

One can dream.
