So... who else thinks our fearless leader is getting ready to kick a hornets nest due to having sand being kicked into his face after he drew the line in the sand?

Syria used weapons of mass destruction? Didn't we have this arguement once before. Obama put his foot in his mouth (again) by promising retaliation for theb use of chemical weapons. He has no backing from other governments, or even in his own party. Now he wants to put it on congress. What a putz! Are there not enough countries that already hate us?

I knew I shouldn't have read up on Syria. I've been avoiding the news for months, but all anyone can talk about is Syria. I didn't want to be the one person who didnt know what was going on, but I knew knowing would just piss me off. Yup, suspicion confirmed.
I'm going back under my rock. Our "leaders" don't care what we think anyway. They just do what they want, no matter how many of us are against it.

Now he says he did not draw a red line, the world did. What an ass we have for a president. It does no good getting involved in mid east problems. How successful have we been so far. George

We have a "Sequester" going on because their isn't enough money to run our own government, and yet we are going to spend Billions to attack a country that hasn't attacked us first, and is of no threat to us? If it's because we're going on a humanitarian mission...then why haven't we stepped in to Mexico to fight the cartels? What about the decades of starvation in Africa? Tibet? etc. It seems that the majority of the American people and the world do not want this, but they didn't listen. The UN is saying "wait" and we won't. The Brits bailed because they know it's wrong. Sounds like Iraq to me all over again...and people think there is a difference between the parties. They both are not serving the public but only special ($$) interests. So much for "change", I lost "hope" a long time ago.

We are not going in. Nobody can figure out yet who actually released the Sarin. Assad has said he did not do it. There are hundreds of rebel groups in Syria.. many of which are Al Qaeda.
These rebels know they cannot defeat the Syrian Military... but, what if we can get the U.S. to take on Assad's Military? Now ain't that a clever hoax!
Delivering gas does not take a high tech delivery system. It can be delivered in a mortar shell.
When things got hot for Saddam in Iraq, the Intell community knew, or at least had very good evidence that Saddam sent his stockpiles of nerve gas to Syria. What WMD's? I ain't got no stinking WMD's!! Bush lied! Cheney Lied! Powell Lied! Rice lied!!
In my opinion, we ain't going to hit Assad. It has become too hard to figure out who the bad guys really are and any attack will kill many innocents creating one more generation of people who hate the U.S.
I think the time has come to let the various religious fanatics in the middle east kill each other and let God sort them out. Only when their fanaticism bleeds onto American soil should we launch anything.

I wonder if the Obama administration will be doing background checks before handing over assault weapons, or if Eric Holder will just take care of it like he did in Mexico!
You need to read it more than once and think about it
