Obama moves red line in Syria

So....Obama says "Don't use chemical weapons or you'll be sorry". A few weeks later, Assad uses chemical weapons. A few days later, Obama finally takes time out of his busy (golf) schedule to say "Well, maybe i was too harsh in saying 'you'll be sorry'. Just...don't do it again!"

We have a chickenshit pussy for a President.
 
It seems it is OK to use chemical weapons as long as you only do it a little bit.

What a surprise.

Blink and you’ll miss it, but President Obama just revised and extended his “red line” for stopping Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against Syrian civilians.
“We cannot stand by and permit the systematic use of weapons like chemical weapons on civilian populations,” Obama said today, per Reuters’ Jeff Mason. It was Obama’s first comments about what he acknowledged was a potential “game changer” since his White House acknowledged yesterday that U.S. intelligence considers reports of chemical weapons use in Syria credible.
The key word in that statement is systematic. The surprise White House acknowledgement, in a letter to senators yesterday, said that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons, particularly sarin gas “on a small scale.” Danger Room reported that the evidence underlying the U.S. intelligence assessment included blood samples that indicated the effects of sarin. Behind the scenes, as Danger Room has earlier reported, the Obama administration has spotted Assad prepping its chemical stocks for use last year, and attempted to block shipments of precursor chemicals.
The statement gives the president wiggle room — something Obama has wanted to preserve throughout the two-year Syrian civil war. Combined with Obama’s call for to investigate and substantiate the assessment of the chemical use, Obama has now implied it would take a widespread use of the chemicals to prompt the U.S. to involve itself more deeply in the rebel effort to overthrow Assad, which is the stated objective of U.S. Syria policy. Foreign Policy managing editor Blake Hounshell suspected yesterday that it would take a much larger use of chemical weapons by Assad to spur a U.S. military response. But even “systematic” use of chemical weapons begs the question of how much sarin and other deadly gasses Assad can use before Obama feels compelled to stop him.

You dumb schmuck

The Syrian Opposition is Entirely Run by Al Qaeda

"Nowhere in Rebel-Controlled Syria is There a Secular Fighting Force to Speak Of"
in an astounding admission, the New York Times confirms that the so-called “Syrian opposition” is entirely run by Al Qaeda and literally states:

Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.

This comes from the New York Times and it’s not an opinion piece. The admission of what we knew all along should put to rest any more nonsense about backing “secular” rebel forces in Syria to keep the Islamists from taking over.



There are no secular forces. Even the New York Times has finally admitted it. When the media talks about secular forces, it means the militias controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.

So now out rightarded dumb f***s Want the United States to help Al Quida!

We could just carpet-bomb the entire country. Then we'd have absolutely no worries about either side winning.
 
Barry Oingoboingo moves the "red line" to play the Hans Brix card....

Actually, the problem is with the chain of custody concerning the soil samples. The need to have a good chain of custody proving those weapons were used rather than going off half cocked into another war based on bad intel.

Remember Iraq and the supposed WMD's that were there? Instead of going after Hussein, we should have kept after OBL.

At least Obama is willing to wait for verified proof before shipping us into another war.

Is that the problem?

If you think that the various intelligence agencies in the world, including the CIA, do not have resources on the ground in Syria to get the proof out you are officially the dumbest idiot on the planet.

Of course, Republicans who are so concerned for the Debt/deficit, want us to rush right in and help. But, help who? The Muslims fighting Assad? But don't Republicans hate Muslims? Don't Republicans want less government intervention?

FYI:
The Orthodox patriarch in Syria, Ignatius IV Hazim, has said he supports the Assad regime and opposes any intervention in the country, saying it would be harmful to both Christians and Muslims.

Who?s fighting whom in Syria?

I just want Obama to stop making a fool of himself.
 
This isn't about republicans, butthead.

You have a very limited vocabulary, which amounts mostly to name-calling, typical of know-nothings.

And why isn't it about Republicans? Aren't Republicans the ones that are whining that we need to do something? And if Obama had chosen to do something, you all would be whining that we need to cut the debt/deficit?

Most of the whining sounds like butt-hurt to me.

Didn't McCain echo the Republican chorus that we should not put boots on the ground? Isn't Obama the one that said that the use of chemical weapons would be a red line?
 
Quick question.........................how are we going to mount an attack in Syria? Are we going to raise taxes to do it?
Don't know.

Better question(s)....Why did Boiking shoot his mouth off about a "red line" if he wasn't really going to do anything?...Why write a check with your cake hole that your ass isn't willing to cash?

Why are liberoidals like you giving him a pass on that one?

He hasn't done anything yet, because there isn't a good, verifiable, chain of custody concerning the proof that they have right now.

However................once that is taken care of (and they're working on it right now), then we will have proof and can proceed as required.

I'd much rather have him wait for verified, undeniable proof before lobbing bombs and rockets at the people over there.

Bombs and missiles cost money. Lots of money.

What makes the chain of custody on the soil samples invalid? Is it that they are actually blood samples? I don't recall you complaining about the cost of the bombs and missiles when we were lobbing them at Libya.

I didn't think so.

Like the rest of the Oboingo pom-pom squad, he can't wrap his little pink head around the idea of the Hegelian dialectic. ;)
 
Why are we even discussing this?

What concern is it of ours to even threaten to use our military forces?

We have a chickenshit pussy for a President.

To the contrary, we have a very smart President who doesn't listen to the rantings of trigger-happy Republicans who want to fight every country with other people's children, while at the same time whining that we're spending too much money. Kinda moronic if you ask me.

Why don't you volunteer to go and shoot Assad, if you're such a macho-man?
 
Quick question.........................how are we going to mount an attack in Syria? Are we going to raise taxes to do it?

Who the fuck wants to attack Syria?

Which is it..................are you blind.....................stupid.....................or, retarded?

Syria is the nation that a whole bunch of Republicans want to invade, because they're suspected of having chemical weapons (namely, Sarin gas).

I guess the QuantumBlowjob is missing some of the latest news.

Because he's not stoopid like the Doofus we had before.

Why are liberoidals like you giving him a pass on that one?
We're trying to catch up to all the passes rightwads gave Doofus, but we'll never catch up!
Right...Shooting off your big fucking flapper when you really have no intent on doing anything is the new "smart"! :rolleyes: :lol:
That he isn't acting stooopid like Doofus is smart! I thought you were one of the ones that want to reduce the debt/deficit? How you going to do it if you want to start another war?
:cuckoo:

And this still isn't about BOOOOOOSH!, idjit.
Looks to me you're the idjit, because you want Obama to act like the idjit Booooosh!
Ain't gonna happen - Obama way too smart for that! :eusa_silenced:
