Western prepares to punish reported Syrian chemical weapons attacks - CNN.com

We just can't help ourselves, with no more evidence than we had when we started and much handwringing and chest beating we have decided, we cannot, after two years, stand idly by and do nothing. The real question is, of course, what to do that will not tip the scales either way. Ah, the horns of a dilemma. Strike too hard and you give the rebels victory, strike the wrong place and you give Assard victory, kill Assard and you create a vacuum quickly filled by Al Qaeda or worse Hezbollah. With nothing to loose Assard might unleash those WMD

I think its really a distraction from the Benghazi investigation the Obama administration would do ANYTHING to keep from happening.

I think this is wag the dog. Note no one is talking about all the emperor's scandals and other failings. Given the template that the Clintonista's established ,there will be a salvo or 2 of tomahawks and then we'll call it a day. There will be some however who still feel guilty about not doing anything about the Rhwanda massacres and will feed us their "responsibility to protect " doctrine.
Not to worry ,our goal is not regime change (as we said to the Russians when they approved a no-fly zone in Libya).

Our regime is saying strikes could come Thursday and we don't need no UN approval, while UN inspectors are asking for more time. Ironic isn't it?

When Bush was in office Obama and the lefties didn't think he could take long enough to satisfy them. Now to the same group... too soon has no meaning at all.

Testosterone is the root of all evil.
Less men in the world, please.

Its another Obama tantrum because Vladmir had the nerve to stand up to the Messiah... after all who has any business disagreeing or saying anything but what the Messiah wants to do and hear.

Barrak doesn't have much testosterone in his system. This is more like a child throwing a tantrum... only he has his hands on something more dangerous that a J I Joe doll. (or if you preffer ACTION figure)

You too must have noticed which gender is running amok in the streets, shouting and brandishing weapons.

Well that's rather rude and sexist.

I think she means we don't see in news clips the women and children running wild and screaming. They are the ones, though, ending up without sons and husbands and fathers.

joypulv · Aug 28, 2013, 08:39 AM

I was sexist.
As for rude, heck, men complain about women all the time too. For thousands of years boy babies have been the prize, the goal, to continue the hunt, the farm, the battle, all the testy stuff. As far as I can tell, men still have just as much testosterone as their ancestors had. It has nowhere to go but rape, plunder, and pillage. Sports and rock music and mountain climbing and building tall structures would be nice but that isn't enough. Power, politics, itching to make WAR.

You both didn't see or remember the Videos from the Middle East on 9/11 then... women and children share in the violence and bombings over there in the buttcrack of the world. Its not men exclusively.

THe image of a nearly toothless Palestinian Cow celibrating is burned into my memory

Yes, I remember them. But it's primarily men and boys pumping their fists and shouting. The women are mainly off to the side covering their faces and weeping.

You watched different videos than I saw on the news then... because I saw joyous celibrations... not weaping, and it was even more the women and kids doing it than the men. The weaping only happened when payback time came.

No, it was clearly rude and sexist.

Thank goodness men never are.

joypulv · Aug 28, 2013, 08:54 AM

Yes, I'm blaming all this on men. Rude and sexist is called for.

smoothy · Aug 28, 2013, 08:59 AM

I wouldn't go that far... Women aren't all that meak and subservient to mens demands even in the middle east...

Not even Afghanistan.(yes I understand the Afghan Family dynamic better than most people do)

Women play a big part in what happens in that part of the world.

joypulv · Aug 28, 2013, 09:02 AM

Women play a big part?? Oh please. Maybe a rare one singled out just for the news.

Listen to all the words of war from paraclete: " ..the horns of a dilemma. strike too hard and you give the rebels victory, strike the wrong place and you give Assard victory, kill Assard and you create a vacuum quickly filled by Al Qaeda or worse Hezbollah. with nothing to loose Assard might unleash those WMD."

Is that how women think? Nope

I have never raped, plundered or pillaged anyone or anything. Neither have my friends.
