Over the weekend I kept hearing the term "limited strike" being used, and that this is not going to be a war. What planet are these people from? If another nation lobbed a few hundred bombs and missles into U.S. cities, what would they call it then, a slap on the wrist from some concerned neighbor? We need to stand down on this one! If the administration is really concerned about innocents being killed, what do they think the result of a bombing campaign will be? Please, everyone, CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

Frank- exactly- and excellent point. it just adds to a picture that in its entirety does not make sense and if something doesn't make sense then it isn't true. It has become so blatantly obvious that we're being lied to and hoodwinked that I have to begin laying an increasing share of responsibility for what's happening squarely on our shoulders because as a population, we are enabling and participating in our own deception and abetting through the implicit agreement of silence the high crimes being committed in our name by our government.

Here's a question, Where is the presidents moral outrage over the innocent people that have been killed as a result of Attorney General Holder's " Fast and Furious" program? In fact, shouldn't the president himself be held accountable for those murders? Talk about a case of DO AS I SAY----NOT AS I DO!

I must respectfully disagree with narrative that characterizes this administration as stupid or incompetent... frankly doing so accepts the premise that the actual intent matches what is stated for our consumption. As far as I can tell, they are highly competent- they know very well the art of deceit. The distraction and demagoguery that has taken place over the whole presidency reflects knowledge on their part that what they are doing is against our interests and something no reasonable person will support.

As for Syria, there's a 100 page report submitted to the U.N. by Russia that implicates the rebels we are supporting in a sarin attack in an Aleppo, Syria suburb that killed 26 people-- so assuming that it's factual, our outrage seems rather selective in the region- not to mention globally. We aren't above walking American sold weapons into Mexican drug cartel hands and having them used against civilians, including children so I don't for one second buy into the sales pitch- which in the backdrop of what has happened over the course of this presidency, becomes an insulting bit of propaganda- enlisting emotions to manipulate opinion.

So, when do the impeachment proceedings begin? Of course they won't because speaker Boehner has shown himself to be an enabler- thinly disguised as a republican- likely to keep real reform in the wings.

This is what we get when fools vote and put a fool in office! He has no idea what he is doing and the Congress is too stupid to stop him. It's unknown where this is all headed.

Yes, let's go to war! What could go wrong?

One year ago, the president made his comments about " crossing a red line". The whole world watched and heard his statements. Now, fast forward to last night. Obama said that he did not put the red line out there into play. This man is pathological in his denial's of any personal responsibility. Nothing is his fault. This man needs to be removed from the world stage ASAP. He has no idea what he is doing and neither he or Biden should be in the position they're in.
Assad has been given enough of a heads up as to what is being planned and I'm sure he has taken measures by now to protect his military assets. I won't be surprised when the pictures of dead women and children, a result of the U.S. bombing start to come out. He probably has the citizens hiding out in shelters that are really places targeted for destruction. This is what will really be the cause of world wide outrage! We will be seen as a blood thirsty nation with no reguard for what the United Nations says. God help us.

Obama is a total liar and hypocrite! First he has NO RIGHT to ask any veterans to go fight for or with the Rebels. Second, Let John Mc Cain and the rest of Congress that vote for this stupid action go get their
hide ends blown off! Third, Mr. Amateur has no idea that the Russians are not going to just let the US
bomb one of their allies without getting involved.
If he is so darn worried about 426 kids getting gassed, why the heck is he so glad about helping to kill
thousands of babies in this country via chemical abortions?
The Democrats are the party of decay and rot!!!

The instability and casualties are being played up for American "news" media cameras- and methinks the outrage over atrocities is mighty selective... which tells me that in reality it doesn't exist but it's anticipated that OUR outrage can be used to build support for something that the US has no business pursuing.
war mongers....hypocrites...
