Syria

[DieHardBrownsFan]

I watched the Kerry news conference and read the so called 'evidence'. I don't buy it for a minute. Just Obama trying to justify it.

Look at this shit from March.

http://rt.com/news/syria-rebels-chemical-aleppo-479/

A photographer working for Reuters in Aleppo reported that the witnesses of the attack complained of a strong smell of chlorine near the epicenter of the attack. Reportedly, people had breathing problems and some of them died of suffocation.

"They said that people were suffocating in the streets and the air smelt strongly of chlorine,” the photographer said, stressing that most of the victims he saw while visiting the University of Aleppo hospital and the al-Rajaa hospital were women and children.

and

“This is an extremely alarming and dangerous development of events in the Syrian crisis,” believe Russian diplomats.

The Foreign Ministry stressed it is “seriously concerned” about the fact that WMD has fallen into the hands of the armed militia.

Consider this: the only beneficiaries from the atrocity were the rebels, previously losing the war, who now have Britain and America ready to intervene on their side. While there seems to be little doubt that chemical weapons were used, there is doubt about who deployed them.

It is important to remember that Assad has been accused of using poison gas against civilians before. But on that occasion, Carla del Ponte, a U.N. commissioner on Syria, concluded that the rebels, not Assad, were probably responsible.

So why can't they conclude now?

What a mess. This is a tough one.

But I thought liberals have all the answers.

Here's another tough one. How can it be that your Obama knows all the details regarding the Syrian situation, but knows nothing about what happened in Benghazi?

Perhaps you can clear that up for us.

"Each day that goes by," Kerry said, "this case is getting stronger. I mean, today I'm at liberty to tell you that we now have samples back from first responders in East Damascus - those samples of hair and blood have been tested, and they have reported positive for signatures of sarin. So, we are now getting a stronger case each day. The credibility of the United States is on the line here and I believe that Congress will do the right thing."

No one is second guessing that gas was used you fucking asshole. They really think we are fucking stupid.

Yet how long did it take for them to acknowledge the fuckups in Benghazi?

President Obama announced today that he will wait for Congress to return from vacation on September 9th for a vote on using limited military action in Syria. The president and Secretary of State John Kerry have both stated that the Assad regime must be held accountable for using chemical weapons on civilians.

Krauthammer believes it’s “absolutely necessary” for the president to seek Congress’s authorization. Deeming it "amateur hour," he said the president should have immediately called in the Congress when the first chemical attack took place. He said that to Syria, Iran and others around the world, “It looks like the president boxed himself into a corner and is looking for a way out.”

so there you have it yet AGAIN folks - the campaigner in chief feels it is more politically expediant to let SOMEONE ELSE make the obvious call!

When congress will say no to the US involvement. On September ...what, 9th? sheesh - what a timely act mr president

So what about Obamas first call to attack Syrias Assad regime?

"It has no purpose whatsoever. Unless it is to assuage the guilty conscience of a president. Or vindicate the vanity of a president who's become a laughingstock around the world and whose word means nothing because last year he spoke about a red line and has allowed all the red lines to be crossed without lifting a finger. Maybe he feels compelled as a way to vindicate himself, but you don't take a country into war as a way to vindicate your own standing," said Krauthammer.

my head just spins on how this still gets lost in the shuffle....http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/20/kerry-clears-state-officials-faulted-in-benghazi-report/

remember the fuckups in the state dept that were put on administrative leave after an independent panel criticized the security and “lack of proactive leadership.

They are back at work in the state dept. And thanks are given to Kerry by the forgotten token blamees! lol

but more importantly - nothing gets done The development comes amid concern that the U.S. still has not captured those responsible for the attack, nearly a year later.

THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZZI

We're the battling boys of Benghazzi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell ...
Defending our country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.

Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought til we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us..........we were just "Bumps In The Road".

yes there is a theme... an unfortunate circumstance "what difference does it make" kind of leadership

the narcissist in chief is looking for the "optimal" outcome for his ineptitude but Iran, North Korea, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria keep getting in the way!

[DieHardBrownsFan]

In case we forgot who the rebels are:

[gftChris]

When all is said and done, someone there is authorising the use of chemical weapons. There are teams of people building them, soldiers using them and we have a moral obligation to the people of Syria to put a stop to it. And by 'we' I don't mean America, Britain, Russia, China, Canada, Germany, whatever, I mean the rest of the population of the planet. All this stalling is hopefully just to find out who's responsible - and honestly I'd use their own chemical weapons on them, it's a disgusting, immoral weapon of cowardice.

Erm, no, this has nothing to do with nukes in Iraq. Unless Bush made some remark about Syria that I don't know about.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

I don't think we have any moral obligation to be the worlds police force anymore. We cannot control what happens in the middle east. Or if some crazy people get ahold of WMD. If it is a direct threat to the USA or our allies, then yes of course. This is a civil war and I'm not at all convinced that the Syrian government is the ones who used them.

[Westside Steve]

Actually gentlemen, nobody lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Saddam Hussein said he had them gave the Unitednations a list of them and then hindered the searches that were meant to find them. Yes we got some bad intelligence and yes by the time we finally invaded they were gone. Perhaps Saddam Hussein was bluffing. If so tough shit for him. But if we did get bad intelligence purposely why would we not suspect the same here? And yes Chris the rest of the civilized world has a responsibility to stop this type of atrocity. As soon as we are poitive that it wasn't planted.

if I were one of these rebels, who we pretty much agree are scum bags, that seems like a smart thing to do. Deliver a little gas make it look like Asad and have Obama do your dirty work for you. I'm not saying I do that's what happened but...

[gftChris]

I'm not saying we need Team America to come in and save the mutha-fucking day now, I mean the rest of the world. A concerted effot, by the world's nations, united against this kind of thing. If only there were some organisation that united nations to deal with this.

America spends more on the military than the rest of top 10 countries combined. That's China, Russia, UK, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany and Italy. That's why you tend to be world police, because you may be the only country that can actually help in most/all cases where it's needed.
