    - Who is serving in the U.S.House of Representative was obtained citizenship from ANOTHER COUNTRY?
    - What U.S. Senator denied that he is only know that he is U.S. citizen while he was born in Canada?
    - What U.S. senators went on TV and confused himself of President Obama's Foreign Policy?

    We all know Bachman, Cruse and Paul ... and these po-li-ti-cians want to be President of The U.S. in 2016!

    I believe in two party system which our founding fathers had built on, but in the 21st century we only have DEMOCRATIC PARTY and the STUPIDPARTY! I am calling for the Republican Party to REFORM AND REBIRTH! Give and take, It will take A GENERATION to rebuild and reform...

    Ed you have been wrong to relate our President to Pres. Bush. You should know better to bet against Obama

    No, I don't trust Syria, they announce that an inspection be done. They have moved the Chemicals, they are not stupid. It is not up to us to decide, were are paying congressional members to do their work, what a joke. President Obama will make a decision tonight, and it will be in our best interest.

    The President is never given the credit for sizing up the upcoming responses of the public and Republicans. They seem to assume that they know more than the President. Even Ed underestimated the Presidents skills and abilities in this area. We are fortunate that President Obama is a very sharp President who knew what he was doing. It was not by accident that Putin has taken a prominent role in seeing in moving Syria forward. Why do so many people underestimate his skills in foreign affairs? It is the mainstream media that is distracting us from discussing the issues important to Americans. It is not the President who is doing that. Stop blaming the President and let's move forward.

    The chemical release of Sarin gas in the Ghouta suburb of Damascus on 8-21-2013 was a tragic mistake that killed over a dozen lower level, untrained in handling chemical weapons, Jabhat al Nusra Rebels and hundreds of others. Rough handling of these weapons and other explosives caused a detonation of Sarin gas weapons. Some of these chemical weapons were of the DIY category whilst the bulk of them were provided by Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan (the lover). One female Rebel confessed responsibility to mintpress.com contributory correspondents Abraeh Ababneh and Dale Gavlak.

    First, let my say I love your show and probably the only 13 year old that watches it. Though back to your question, my answer is no because, I consider Assad a dictator in a sense, and a dictator listens to nobody, he's gonna pretend that he'll let go of his chemical weapons, but that just won't happen. There's always something you won't know

    Since when did a country really take a nation to war for humanitarian reasons? I think his name was George Walker Bush. Unfortunately, there was nothing humanitarian about it. It was about OIL and avenging Daddy. Have we seen a DROP of oil from Iraq? It definitely wasn't because of 9/11.

    I voted yes but really my vote was more hope with a dash of wishful thinking.

    Whether one trusts Syria or not to give up his stockpile of chemical weapons does not matter. The US should under no circumstances attack that country. Why? Because there is no clear evidence that Syria chemically attacked as he had nothing to gain by using chem weapons. The rebels (a combination of Al Qaeda and many other nefarious groups) had every reason to use them. It brings the US into the action and gives the rebels the extra clout they need. By doing that we make strange bedfellows of dozens of rebels who could and would do this nation harm. Since when did a country really take a nation to war for humanitarian reasons? They attack for regional hegemony, power, money and in the Middle East oil and natural gas. Howard Zinn said when someone wants to take you to war ask two questions: Why and who benefits. Good questions. Ask them!
