Funny..
..I don't recall hearing the OUTRAGE when Ronald DUMSFELD
supplied the SAME Chemical Agent to SoDam Insane...
...nor when Paul Wolfowitz supplied the excuse for the Iraq War...


What I'm reading from our former allies is:
"WHAT? MORE WMDs? --- Give Us A Break!" smirk


In DUHbya's own words;
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice,
.......er.......we won't get fooled again!"


..and just for the record..
As of today, China joined Russia (and Iran)
to come together in defense of Syria. blush -oopsey

Neither can we embolden those other dictators by standing idly by.

I agree BUT we can't afford to go it alone- Brits said NO, expect the French andGermans to do the same. IF we did anything alone, we'd be bluffing (we're exhausted $ and people wise**) and they know it. And the Syrians would either repeat the incident = poke in the eye, OR get Russia or Iran involved and we'd be trumped any way. Because of the 10 yr old BS in Iraq and Afghanistan, we cannot afford to do anything that would make a significant difference. **GW 'shot our wad' 10 years ago !! that really boxed us in for future threats. Sorry that's a sad reality.

and I can only assume that the British "pulling-out"
includes the ENTIRE BRITISH EMPIRE?
Australia & Canada?

not a very good start

yeah,
The PinHead twisting PM Tony Blair's arm into joining
the LAST "Coalition of the Willing" left the same
nasty taste in Great Britain's collective mouths.

I believe without any hesitation that Israel and the US will find solidarity in any action against Syria.

And Russia and China already support Iran and I bet they know that Syria isn't the endgame, a non-nuclear Iran is.

Obama has no options here. Congress will politicize any action, and CNN is already prepping the Super 3D graphics to show how things blow up. Already the progressive left and the rightwing wackos are acting like drama queens as if bombing has already occured. Teapartiers and Rightwing radio is calling Obama weak and a war monger … doing their best to blur history (as only they can do) and pin all of Bush's Iraq bullsh!t as Obama's recent actions ….

… and if the worst happens and we do end up in a military conflict with Syria, Republicans will certainly think it's still the right thing to do to shut the government and default on the debt limit just to pour gasoline on the fire.

Obama has one option. And that is to collectively blow away Syria, Iran, China, and Russia in one nuclear orgy. No perps left. No whiners left. Problem solved. And we and Israel can go to the movies.

This. Whole. Thing. Sucks. mad

For once I agree with those on the right, who will hate Obama no matter what. We should not go in. I grieve for the Syrian people, but it will only create more horribleness in the near and far flung future. Why the right was so for Iraq and so against Syria, I don't know but..
