U.S.-NATO Missiles/Bombs on Syria within 15 to 25 days . . .

[HeinBallz]

And besides, the Obama administration has already ruled out any action that would lead to a regime change:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/27/us-syria-crisis-obama-intelligence-idUSBRE97Q0S820130827

(Reuters) - The White House ruled out any military effort to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power on Tuesday as President Barack Obama ponders options in response to last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria.

"The options that we are considering are not about regime change," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "They are about responding to a clear violation of an international standard that prohibits the use of chemical weapons."

But hey, when you're perpetually butthurt about the fact that a black, moderate Democrat is President, you tend to gloss over pesky little things like "facts."

You're such a good person Ben; supporting such a wonderful peace loving president.

Not like that war mongering bad person bush.  Check out this link outlining the difference between bush and Obama's bombings.

Link to Obama starting a war with Iraq?

[HeinBallz]

"Other" is defined as any male old enough to hold a gun, and therefore, "could" be an enemy combatant.  But then again, it could just be some overweight dude standing next to a guy with an AK or a van full of people frantically pulling an innocent friends bloody corpse into their car so they can rush someone out of the danger zone/residential area.   Or it could be that guys 14 year old son...  Who knows, just throw them in that "other" category, because it wasn't a woman, or a child, or he wasn't holding a gun...  So who knows...  Right?  Guess that's what they get for living in a war zone.

What US Senators are for bombing?  Like has anyone actually come out and said we should?

Yeah, thats not going to work - Bush really was a war mongering bad person; not to mention, the link was Pakistan ALONE; not the combined 6 countries bombed by Bush and Obama. I could show you a link to where Obama bombed Libya and Yemen...  Should be able to find a link for Syria here within the month.

engel's top donor is lockheed martin. it's surprising how small his donations are compared to corker's.

So, I think we're at 4 votes "for bombing", 4 votes for "not bombing" and 4 votes for "bombing if Obama decides not to but not bombing if Obama decides to" .

Some days I really hate my job as the Director of PR and Media Relations for goEMAW.com. I'll put us down for a "no comment".

I vote not bombing. Or did you already count me when I suggested we get the locals to just vote 'em out?

Son of a.....

This is frustrating. I just spent the last 30 minutes writing up our "no comment" press release.

Obama is such a badass he is going to bomb the eff out of yet another country.  He just does not take a single iota of crap from anyone without dropping ordinance all over them.

He needs to scoop up some of Assad's guys and drop them in GITMO.  The hunger strikes are opening up some cells.

Cliffs notes for anyone not wanting to click on the link,  3,149 estimated drone kills in just Pakistan:

1.5% Success rate of "High Profile" targets.
5.6% Children
17% Civilians
75.9% Other

So there you go.  "The new, international approach to foreign policy" that "will save us billions of dollars over the long run" had a whopping 1.5% success rate.  While simultaneously acknowledging 5.6% of collateral damage being children as completely acceptable.

That doesn't even include the active duty soldiers that commit suicide every 25 hours; probably from all the nightmares of having to evac bloody baby remnants & stumps.

But hell yeah!  What's another war?!?

Goodness, this is a pretty impressive new talking point.  Why don't ambulance drivers kill themselves all the time?

Access to weapons and the fact that they go home every night?

They do.

[felix rex]

I don't want to go to war at all. I don't think it will end well.

I'm specifically concerned about Hezbollah in this scenario.

FR, use your super CIA'ey contacts to get someone in Syria to post here and start a (new member name here) moves to Syria.

Maybe I can get the guys who crashed the times and hacked the onion? May need to run this past Saul.

Ben seems to be anxious to defend Obama as the Peace minister himself and certainly is not involved in the war racket that's dominated foreign policy over the last 100 years.

Are ambulance drivers part of some giant lie around love of country thats directly responsible for killing kids?

[felix rex]

Way more than 100, friend.

I've never defended Obama as a "peace minister."  I just don't get all butthurt about drones because I view them as a better alternative than putting American troops in harm's way.  Take your anti-Obama psycho ramblings somewhere else, dipshit.

I thought the drones are killing kids?  So that one soldier every 25 hours is directly responsible for killing little kids?  This is getting to be pretty informative.

So you're concerned that doing nothing would lead to Hezbollah gaining power? OK, then what happens?

[michigancat]

Also, I'd like to compare drone strikes to regular strikes and how many kids die.
