That article gives him too much credit.

A real problem for the administration. Assad has clearly gone over the line, yet there is not anyone that looks sane to take his place. I, for one, am glad I do not have to make this decision.

Sorry, I couldn't get past the what is supposed to be the first paragraph because I was laughing too hard. Don't they have proof readers at CNN?

Barack Obama came to Washington to end wars. Not to start them

Except it isn't clear Assad went over the line.

Can anyone explain why Bush lied when he believed the findings of all the intelligence agencies, but Obama is a genius when he ignores them?

Another nine percenter who will foolishly follow his leadership no matter how much they lie. ^^

"The Obama administration could have always made the argument in the past few days that it could justify attacking the regime of Bashar al-Assad on humanitarian grounds to prevent further massacres of the Syrian people with chemical weapons despite the fact that there was no international authorization for attacking Syria and no congressional resolution sanctioning such an attack."

When will Obama's minions demand the same standard of evidence they expected from Bush?
When the rich are the first to risk their lives in war.

The noose is tightening on these bastards. Zbignjev Brezinski stated it best, and I paraphrase, that the speed of world communications, alternate media etc has seriously damaged the power structure's ability to hatch their schemes. People are figuring out what I knew 7 years ago. Look at Britain as a shining example.

 

[Yurt]

i agree with him for waiting to consult congress

it also allows us to get more intel on whether chemical weapons were actually used and are both sides using them...

 

[theDoctorisIn]

This isn't about chemical weapons, it's about oil pipelines.

How can you ask someone to die for a mistake?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I don't believe that Obama ever was a Constitutional Law Professor; it's a joke

 

[R.C. Christian]

You're getting warmer. That means the message is getting out.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What's Obama plan? Does he have one or is this another clusterfuck like he left Egypt and Libya?

Plan A: Get in there and help Al Qaeda and the Islamists killing Christians

 

[R.C. Christian]

His state department via Rice is tugging hard at him to blast Syria so it will weaken Iran. Iran is the last cog in the wheel that must be broken in order secure Eurasia, oil interests, mineral wealth, and hegemony. Same shit, different president. Some of you morons can't get this fact through your dense skulls. The Kristols McCains or Kagans could care less about the cost of such an imperialist misadventure.

Kerry said something similar a few days ago regarding the internet making it more difficult (for elites) to govern; hopefully he will draw his last breath in a federal prison alongside Bill and Hill.

How can you ask someone to die for a mistake?

You people asked over 4000 of our men and women in the service to die for the mistake that is Iraq.

 

[dilloduck]

Whatever happened to the old liberal theory that bombing creates more terrorists than it destroys ?

Not to mention the millions of Muslim civilians murdered, maimed, and displaced by US Petrodollar warfare.
