What mute reaction? Even you guys have posted comments from democrats. You contradict yourself all the time. The emperor hasn't started any wars yet.
Britain, Canada and Germany are opposed, France supports and it looks like the sheep in the U.S. congress will give Obama the go ahead to bomb Syria. I hope it does't happen but it looks almost certain now.
Text of draft resolution for authorization to use force, submitted to Congress .
.Quote:
Whereas, on August 21, 2013, the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria, killing more than 1,000 innocent Syrians;
Whereas these flagrant actions were in violation of international norms and the laws of war;
Whereas the United States and 188 other countries comprising 98 percent of the world's population are parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling or use of chemical weapons;
Whereas, in the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, Congress found that Syria's acquisition of weapons of mass destruction threatens the security of the Middle East and the national security interests of the United States;
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, in Resolution 1540 (2004), affirmed that the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons constitutes a threat to international peace and security;
Whereas, the objective of the United States' use of military force in connection with this authorization should be to deter, disrupt, prevent, and degrade the potential for, future uses of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas, the conflict in Syria will only be resolved through a negotiated political settlement, and Congress calls on all parties to the conflict in Syria to participate urgently and constructively in the Geneva process; and
Whereas, unified action by the legislative and executive branches will send a clear signal of American resolve.

Syria could be practice for Iran.Quote:
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, in Resolution 1540 (2004), affirmed that the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons constitutes a threat to international peace and security;
Yes Iran needs the practice, whatever is done the possibility of a wider conflicit is large. Syria and Iran are allies, this isn't Iraq standing alone. BO is making sure his a$$ is covered before he acts
Then why not cut out the middle man ? If we are lobbing tomahawks and bunker busters anyway...
Now Tom you know you can't chew gum and spit at the same time. If Afghanistan and Iraq taught you anything it is that you need to be focused on one objective at at time, You are not out of Afghanistan and you want to start another conflict... get real, you are already overstretched with the commitments you have.
If you want to take on Syria it will have to be all in not that halfarsed approach you had with Libya. You can't just do a punative strike and walk away and in any case the possibility of killing civilians is high
The probability is also high they make a mistake and take Assad out too! OOPS,
Yes that is an option
The road to Damascus leads through Tehran .
There are two ways to get there Tom you could try travilling from west to east in which case you could be there tomorrow
Kerry caught using doctored information
EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Kerry Caught Using Fake Photo to Fuel Syrian War
He did quickly backstep after being called out on it...
Used photos from Iraq... as if there wasn't enough stuff from Syria.
Makes you wonder about everything else they are claiming.
Lurch didn't have a very good weekend.
Hello again, wingers:
Yeah, Obama sucks.. Nonetheless, should we BOMB Syria, or should we NOT? THAT is the question that NOBODY wants to answer...
I'll answer. YES! Bomb that Mf'er. Will YOU go on record?? Nahhh, you won't. You, like the mealy mouths in congress, want to see which way the wind is blowing first..

I see excon wants to help Al Queda and Iran take over Syria... because anything you do against Assad will help those two groups... and as bad as he is... they are worse.
Hello again,
I see smoothy wants to support one of Israel's worst enemy's.

I'm just busy watching the irony, as in Rand Paul asking, “How do you ask a man to be the first one to die for a mistake?”Quote:

Hello wishy washy Steve:Bush had no trouble asking 4,000 Americans to shed their lives... The irony is that Rand Paul is a peacenik, and you're NOT.Quote:

Me neither... I'll bet you and I would agree on what constitutes "punishment", though.. Obama wants to "limit" punishment.. I don't know HOW you do that..
Excon
RIght... Al Queda and Iran are Israels friends? When did that happen? I didn't get the memo.Quote:
