Well, it is quite obvious no matter what our President does, you assholes will object to it. If he were to have a way to interject our military into the situation, he is a warmonger. If he and the EU resort to sanctions and economic measures, he is weak.
However, the situation remains. Do we let Putin start the re-establishment of the old Soviet empire? Apperantly, you people think this is a good idea, and are cheering Putin as one of your own.
Pretty much.
It turns out Saddam didn't have WMDs to turn over. But by not just coming out and stating this, he was basically forcing Bush's hand to go to war with Iraq. His hope was that the Middle East (or at least the OPEC nations) would band together and hurt the US as a result once we invaded Iraq and save his bacon. Didn't happen since dollars are more important than decrees.
But if you were to have pointed this out 10 years ago, you would have been called ever name in the book by the right wing loons.
Nothing in Syria or Ukraine is worth a drop of American blood. Nothing. This is merely another faux "crisis" that the right wing orgasms over. You'll note a thread from a week or so ago pointed out some crisis or another in Venezuela. Obama hasn't commented much on this and was called out for not doing so in the thread.
It's hilarious how the right wing thinks that if there isn't a body count, there isn't action being taken.
He did come out and state this. Multiple times. As did Tariq Aziz, as did the Saudi minister, as did many other Middle East leaders and ministers in various governments. They got very little TV airtime in the U.S.
Sort of my point...putting the word out so meekly was a way to feel out your opponent to see if he was serious. Surely someone in the "liberal media" would have given him air time to express his views if not invite him on one of the morning shows to cook brunch...right? LOL.
