The administration has set up a catastrophe. There is little reason for us to have boots on the ground, but the administration has fumbled the ball for two years. I anticipate that the President will fling a couple of cruise missiles at insignificant targets, irritating everyone involved, aggravating the Russians and the Chinese, making a complex situation more complex still. When foreign policy consists of a speech intended to awe the world, the world becomes a very dangerous place.

Doc, I don't think Obama has the nerve for that. The Russians have already told him to take a step back. The one major issue is no one knows who used the gas. It came out this morning that evidence is now leaning toward the rebels use of gas. Nothing would surprise me as the rebels consist of many different groups including those who wish us harm. Obama has successfully screwed up Libya, Egypt and now he's working on Syria.

I say let them figure it out for themselves. Develop the energy resources we have right here in North America so we don't need imported petroleum, then let the Middle East go. Far too many of our soldiers have been killed or wounded already for a people who don't appreciate the sacrifice.

Hear, hear! The President's worldview and lack of nerve will lead him to use the military to start something for which he is unprepared to see through. That is the terrible part of the equation. We've witnessed enough of these halfhearted efforts at what the politicians enjoy speaking of as "nation building." The Muslims don't want to build nations, they want to destroy nations. Leave them alone; but he will spill American blood because his big mouth has overloaded his backside; he can't afford to lose face in his own estimate.

I see NO compelling reason for U.S. military intervention in yet another middle eastern nation.
It's their war. Neither side particularly likes us. Not worth one kid from Iowa. Not one.
Monitor it. Be aware of what's happening. Just watch & wait. We don't need to shed blood in this. Theirs or ours.

I'm not sure I know how to put this. Why is it the this country seems to want to butt inot other country's affairs and try to make them do it "our way"? What's wrong with that picture? Am I missing something? Seems to me our government is just as corrupt as any other country's so is our's really any better these days? I got mad last night. Madder'n hell to be exact. The Republican Party called to ask for money. I told them that they controlled the house yet with all Obama has done to destroy this country they have done nothing. His so many violations of the Constituion are enough for impeachment yet you do nothing. You couldn't even put up a decent candidate to replace him. I'm sure your boss Soros is very happy with your performance. I then told them I am on the Do Not Call List so do not call me again EVER!
I don't think that made his day. :lol: Maybe if more people responded in kind they might get the message. Probably not. :x

We have been put in a very bad position by our leaders in DC.
If we strike, it will escalate the dislike of Americans through out the world. Expect oil prices to go to unheard of record prices which will cripple us at the gas pumps. The French are the only ones who are supporting a military strike...not good!
If we don't strike after stating that we will, no one will take us serious....I don't think they do anyways under the current administration.

Obama thinks he's being smart now. He has decided to take his request for Syria action to congress and let them debate it. First off, Congress isn't due back for two weeks from their summer recess. (time element). Secondly, in doing this he now puts the onus on Congress and figures they are not going to approve any type of strike and therefore it absolves him of the responsibility. He knows the American people are against military action and he wants to now come out again looking like a good guy and congress being the numbskulls. What a useless turd.

I believe those pictures were provided by the Syrian Electronic Army on a hack at marine.com.
