September 5, 201313 yr From Stephen Colbert last night... "The United States has no choice but to attack Syria because dictator Bashar al Assad is killing his own people with chemical weapons. Before, he was just killing them with bullets, but if America cared about shooting people, we'd be invading Chicago."
September 5, 201313 yr But the rebels are killing their own people too, not to mention the many christians they have killed and beheaded. Im against us doing anything this time, Assad isnt the worser of 2 evils.

September 6, 201313 yr Obama is seeking congressional authorization, but still declares he has that power; Kerry implied he may still move forward regardless of how Congress votes. If Congress votes against it military action, will the president abide by it? Should he?
September 6, 201313 yr Why wouldnt Obama go against Congress, he goes against everything else, like the Constitution.
September 6, 201313 yr Author Obama is seeking congressional authorization, but still declares he has that power; Kerry implied he may still move forward regardless of how Congress votes. If Congress votes against it military action, will the president abide by it? Should he? Remember what VJ said. See the second sentence in the second paragraph.
September 8, 201313 yr General at the end was hilarious?.Classic. The General summed it up perfectly.:clap:
September 11, 201313 yr Author Did anyone watch the speech? Below is a mistyped (on purpose) URL to a youtube video from Glen Beck. It shows why there is no good option, especially when helping the 'rebels'. It contains disturbing footage. C&P into a new window and replace the * with a 't' to go to the video. The embedded distrubing footage starts at around the 1 minute mark. h*tp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqJfFrkzf8I Here is another interesting video. It is not the most recent attack. But it seems to show rebel launching gas weapons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGtE2GdKIxY BTW, tomorrow is the anniversary of an attack on America that there has been no response to to this day. In fact, the State Department still refuses to allow employees to testify to Congress. So one year later we still do not know the truth about the Benghazi attack and murder of 4 Americans. But we know exactly who launched gas in Syria 2 weeks ago where we have no direct presence?
September 11, 201313 yr Assad himself is tacitly acknowledging he was behind the chemical weapons attack by agreeing to surrender his weapons ... but the conspiracy theory crowd still won't believe it? :no: Would Assad even think about surrendering his weapons if he thought the rebels had chemical weapons?

So making a sham deal with Russians is a 'tacit acknowledgement'? Assad is denying any responsibility. Is he lying? Maybe. I would not take Iranian born Valerie Jarrett's word on it. Syria's Assad denies chemical weapons use Maybe we have learned nothing from the Gulf of Tonkin.

I know she has radical ideas that I don't agree with, but to cite her as "Iranian Born," is not a very good argument is it? She was born to American parents who were working in Iran and it was the Iran of the Shah, not the current Ayatolla Iran.

She was born to American parents who were working in Iran and it was the Iran of the Shah, not the current Ayatolla Iran. By some definitions this makes her a natural born citizen of Iran. She also lived in London, UK and did not enter the US till she was 9 or 10. But the real point is that VJ is very heavily tied to the Middle East interests. Which interests - its hard to say. But her ties there should cause concern of the decision making that comes from White House. Make no mistake - she runs the place. She is setting some of this 'direction' - if you can call it that.
September 11, 201313 yr Syrian Rebels tell Christian in a village they took over to convert to Islam or they will be killed...why again is the US President supporting these people? Remember the President was wanting to help the Rebels before there was any gas attacks (regardless who actually did it) so this isn't just about the use of chemical weapons. FWIW Very happy to see McConnell change his mind on supporting the bombing.
September 11, 201313 yr The Syria researcher whose Wall Street Journal op-piece was cited by Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain during congressional hearings about the use of force has been fired from the Institute for the Study of War for lying about having a Ph.D., the group announced on Wednesday.
