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

I understand Barry is the Prez but we probably shouldn't bomb anybody

too bad this is a democracy and your opinion doesn't matter.

[Mr Bread]

I would stop doing that. That's just my advice, though.

Shun?  Cold shoulder?  Please explain further.

We have some overlapping objectives. But we act in our interests, not Israel's. Favors happen, but states are not altruistic.

Right, thanks.  I wasn't sure if you were suggesting our interests should be running contrary to theirs.  It seems from the outside at least that they often align.   

[Dugout DickStone]

We will intervene to protect Israel if they are threatened with anihilation, which makes it seem to be a US interest.

I don't live in a democracy. I live in a republic.

A republic is a type of democracy...

This is (eventually) true with most places. I'm just saying that Hezbollah would be likely to actively target Americans and American facilities again. I think it's a consequence that's being considered, that's all.

War is perfectly fine as long as we're killing innocent people with robots from 40,000 feet and not with M-16's from 150 yards . . . resident Obamabot War Monger.

[felix rex]

Good job pointing out how they sound like mindless robots, Dax.

[sonofdaxjones]

Keeping running with that "Concerned about Hezbollah" Captain Obvious talking point of the day FR.

[felix rex]

On it, Dax.

So Lazlo from Church of Lazlo is channeling his inner Patton Oswalt right now on twitter regarding Syria and chemical weapons. Saying things like chemical weapons don't kill people, people kill people; that chemical weapons should not be banned, and; that if everyone in Syria had chemical weapons everyone would be safe. It is pretty great, especially if you read his mentions because there are some people who don't get sarcasm or what he is doing.

The resident ObamaWarMongers and their faux concern over whether we strike Syria would've loved what I saw this morning.   The F-15E Strike Eagles from a nearyby AFB were down on the deck on a route which lets them (via electronics) practice bomb targets like some they might have to hit in places like Syria or Iran.    Economic kill factors are unknown at this time.

Just say no to War . . . Unless a Democrat is in the Whitehouse.

get'em america!

Is Barry still Hope and Changy when starts bombing the crap out of a third world country?

[sonofdaxjones]

John Kerry wants a war so bad he can't stand it.   Has to be very disappointing for him given all the backlash.

[OregonSmock]

So even after President Obama announced that he'll seek Congressional approval before authorizing strikes on Syria, you guys are still pissed?  Seems to me like maybe you're just a bunch of hyper-partisan, anti-Obama, moderate/liberal-hating hacks. 

[Dugout DickStone]

Don't take any of their crap Barack

[sonofdaxjones]

Again, John Kerry looks like a whipped puppy he's jonesing for an attack on Syria hard.

[sonofdaxjones]

Barry is seeking congressional approval because he knows he's got no coalition of the willing behind him, and the security council is veto city.

[sonofdaxjones]

President Obama and his top aides began a full-scale political offensive on Sunday to persuade a skeptical Congress to approve a military strike against Syria, but faced a struggle to win over lawmakers from both parties and a war-weary American public.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

It's a win-win for Obama. If congress says no, he can just say "welp, I tried but the people's representatives said no", and if they say yes, they can share the blame when things go terribly wrong and it escalates into a full blown war.
