Syria: Thousands Suffering Neurotoxic Symptoms

[jwh20]

Looks like the Assad regime has upped the stakes in their ongoing civil war. Hundreds are dead and more have been affected by nerve agents and managed to survive, (some no doubt thanks to the successful use of atropine in a timely manner). While doctors without borders aren't pointing fingers at anyone, they are making the case that someone has used nerve gas. The likely suspect is Assad, since he has access to loads of nerve agents and the requisite delivery systems. He's also deliberately blocking the UN inspectors from doing the job they were sent to Syria to do, along with blaming the rebel forces for the non-existent nerve gas attack. Now we'll get to see if Mr. Obama sticks to his gun, now that it's becoming pretty obvious that his red line has been crossed. I'm thinking we're about to be pulled into a conflict we've got no business being involved in, especially given reports that elements of the 6th Fleet are currently being repositioned farther East in the Med.

It's pretty clear where those WMD's that we didn't find in Iraq ended up... Although I'm sure that nobody in the current administration would even suggest that they were somehow moved from Iraq to bordering Syria governed by a "brother in arms".

We have been wanting to go into Syria for a few years now...I smell a false flag

 

[Trigger Time]

Eh. Could have been Assad, could have been "rebels" or freedom fighters, or could have even been an op by the dirty u.s. gubment. I really just wish we could stay out of it and fix our own problems.

We can't ask congress for approval to bomb Syria because they might say "no"

This isn't a ****ing dictatorship. Yet.

Know who talks like this? KINGS. At what point will the Left finally admit O is the tyrant they falsely accused Bush of being? This is sick

Another excuse for yet another President to launch yet another invasion into some Middle Eastern Country that what our Great Great Great Grand Children will still be paying for??

Nothing more than to protect Oil Interests from yet another country that is pushing to remove the Dollar as currency standard... Both Sides of our corrupt and naive government will never let that happen because it would result in total collapse of the United States as we know it.

Unfortunately yet again our Incredibly Brave and overly extended Service Men and Women will get pushed into conflict to prop up an institution that thinks they can simply print more money to overcome the largest Debt in the Known History of the World.

This ^ !!!

Especially since earlier this year both Russian and Chinese generals warned that any U.S. strike on Syria may lead to limited , regional nuclear exchange .


I think the world is sick of us poking our nose in everybody's business .

Nuclear exchange?!?! Oh boy this would be obamas wet dream to further push his power grab.

No, seriously guys, this: https://t.co/FHUy0Motyc

How is this not causing more outrage? You're going to ignore law and rain hellfire down on a place because asking Congress first is "counter-productive"?

Obama 2007: "President doesn't have power under Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack."
Obama 2013: "Eff that guy. FIRE ZE MISSILES."

I really hate to break it to you, but there are loads of people here on INGO, (some of whom have posted in this thread) that support that very action by a president. They like the president being able to go to war without the approval of congress and have argued for it in the past. Just search for the relevant threads. These are "conservative" voters, too. Not dems or libertarians. Now we'll get to see if they stick to their principles when it's Obama doing it.

Looks like everyone is lining up for the pitch. France and Britain are in, as are Turkey and the Gulf States. Israel was onboard a while ago. Now all that remains is the windup and pitch.

Well now we have to do something. We can't let them take all the credit...

Good, that should be enough to do the job without our assistance.

You know that ain't how it works. They're a gang and have to wait for us to throw the first punch before they gang on.

This has been the plan for quite sometime.
When we realize that this will perpetuate the facade of the almighty dollar, by taking back a nation or two (Iran/Syria) we will secure the oil industry/dollar co-dependency scheme.

I would bet the farm that plans exist for the invasion of half the countries on earth. Generals have to do something with their free time between wars.

I'd argue that they're all wrong, conservative or not. Supporting 2A and admonishing King-like behavior should go hand-in-hand. Hypocrites on this forum are still hypocrites if they're OK with doing this.

"I'm not going to ask if it's OK to run for a third, and permanent, term as President. Congress might say no, so I'll just do it anyway."

This is one of those cases where we should sit back and watch both sides lose!
