    God I hope you are wrong. Assad is an ass (literally its in his name) but this chemical weapon stuff is looking more and more like a set up from AQ and company.

    I have no doubt at all that Obama will strike Syria.
    Your zionist led government for sure will do that.
    Yes they are THAT insane.
    Where else in the world would you see on your TV an Israeli Prime Minister get 19 standing ovations in congress? 19 more that your president every had.

    Zionism is taking us into their next war that's all.

    Don't be scared.

    This one will finish them off for good :wink:

    What do you mean...

    - - - Updated - - -

    AA, you're being very mysterious about the JOBS you do, but not really about anything else.

    Care to explain a little more?

    and what is the "JOB?"

    Besides violating OPSEC on an open forum I mean.

    Loose lips, Sink ships.

    and is humility in the "JOB" description?


    Take a bucket and fill it with water,
    Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
    Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
    Is a measure of how you will be missed.

    You can splash all you wish when you enter,
    You may stir up the water galore,
    But stop and you'll find that in no time
    It looks quite the same as before.

    The moral of this quaint example
    Is do just the best that you can,
    Be proud of yourself but remember,
    There's no indispensable man.

    I cannot provide anyone proof of this but I will post why I now KNOW....is the reason I am not going.

    Assad ordered Limited Chemical Attacks upon Syrian Rebel Forces.

    Assad did not expect the FRENCH to be able to detect them nor did Assad think the French with their outspoken objections to U.S. involvement in Iraq to tell the Americans.

    The French did inform us and Obama also PUBLICLY made it a POLICY to arm Syrian Rebels.

    Congress shoots down Obama.

    Obama makes a deal with Putin.

    Putin is allowed to sell the missiles to Syria and is promised that who ever will eventually be in power in Syria will not effect Russian Gas Pipeline Interests.

    Putin is allowed to publicly criticize U.S. and French Chemical Weapons Use Claims but in return for this agrees to PUBLICLY STATE...which Putin did....that if the Russian Chemical Weapons Inspectors in Jordan working with E.U., U.S. and French Inspectors....or the U.N. Team if allowed into Syria...which it was....finds proof that Assad is using Chemical Weapons.....Putin agrees to this statement which he made..."If these Chemical Weapons Inspectors find proof that Syria lead by Assad has used Chemical Weapons....Russia will back any and all action to remove the Assad Government from Syria.

    I get a call last week by my friend who I cannot say no to asking me to go to the region....which he KNOWS is a region of the world I HATE.

    I and my Team get ready and wait....only to be told our...JOB is on Indefinite Hold.

    Back during the 2008 campaign, then President GW Bush, in response to anti-war comments coming from both Obama and McCain, stated that if they saw the same stuff he saw every morning (GW Bush never missed a morning intelligence briefing) both of them would sing a different tune.

    I sure wish I could see what made Obama change his tune. Don't you?

    The OP is right about one thing. Assad's men will get a chance to fight to the death. But like the Iraqis and Afghans found out, when you are fighting to the death against the American forces, death may come a lot quicker than you bargained for. The US forces, once the light goes green, will dish out pain ten times what Israelis ever did.

    Your goading is noted and ignored.

    There are some of us with actual brains out here, mister.

    We're not going to engage unless it on our terms.

    I'm not familiar with this poster.

    Just to let you know....I have not played a VIDEO GAME since Asteroids II came out.

    I really have no issue with any member whether they believe what I might post or not.

    The people who might happen to have been in the Military or in Intel...all though I am not under such Intel. Agency Constraints....and that is only because any of the so called Directors KNOW....if I asked....I could have any one of their JOBS.....such people might read my posts and KNOW....that certain information I have posted...while not necessarily classified....would not either be known or even CONSIDERED A REALITY....by some arbitrary internet poster.

    EVERYTHING I do....has a reason.

    Yeah really? You don't think there's even the remotest possibility that if Mr. Assad survives a "limited strike", he might just decide to retaliate?

    No, I have no idea what you're trying to tell me.

    Maybe if you could drop me even the remotest clue about what it is you supposedly do.... y'know, just ballpark would be fine... ?

    There are two possibilities here....either I am full of S#!% and am simply some random internet poster that has some deep seated need to feel important perhaps in compensation for something I might be lacking in my life....OR....

    ......I might actually be someone who knows whats going on.

    If anyone here might have a brain....they could go to a topic on this forum where I happened to have posted about the Muslim Brotherhoods activities in Egypt and how Morsi was not really the man in power and how the Egyptian Military is simply an ARM OF CENTOM....the U.S. Military's Central Command.

    If one happens to read that topic they might happen to come across a few posts of mine that happen to detail out some things before they were known publicly.

    OR....you could just believe I am full of it.

    Actually, there's something very useful and crucial you can do at this point. Disobey. It's not just Obama, anyway, and not just the Democrats. See the whole picture here, spacially as well as temporally. We've been on a long descent into dictatorship. At some point we all must stand up and refuse to play along, or one of these days we'll see something pretty ugly where the Republic used to stand, but at a point where stopping it will be even more difficult.

    I am dismayed at the blind loyalty of the military to this government. They don't seem to see, or are simply unwilling to accept, that the current government is a usurper of sorts, long having replaced the PEOPLE as the rulers of the land. It's just happened so gradually that no one could quite put their finger on what's been taking place.

    Disobey now and save lives, both American and otherwise human.

    OPSEC generally covers several different scenarios that should never be discussed with those who are not on a need-to-know basis. Remember: just because the military tells you something, does not mean you can talk about it publicly

    Yes, you're a DV, a VIP....a great guy...we get it.
    How about checking the ego and saving the speculation for venues outside of public forums.

    I am a PROBLEM SOLVER.

    My sole purpose is to meet with certain groups or people along with my Team and explain to them I am there to attempt a LAST CHANCE EFFORT to broker a peaceful settlement and that we will be the last attempt to do this before things get out of hand.

    What he's saying doesn't make sense. Especially the pat about how he was "recruited". There's basically only one specific thing he could be doing under those circumstances, so let's see if he tells us the same thing.

    Yeah, that sucks. I remember when they told me not to come in to my...(dramatic pause)...JOB!!!!! It seems there was a lack of work, and I was laid off. Luckily, I found a new...(wait for it.... wait for it...) JOB that I liked even better. So don't despair.

    BTW, anyone watching the news knows we're going to attack Syria. This is the same (*)(*)(*)(*) they said leading up to the Iraq war, when the White House had already decided it wanted some more death, and nothing was going to change that. "Waiting for the UN inspecters to investigate is a stalling tactic", etc. Thank you, Captain Obvious. Or Civilian Obvious, as the case may be.

    Well you can narrow it down to uniform inspector, spy, negotiator, hipster or rodeo clown. None of those are very popular during wartime.........of course two of those are NEVER popular.

    If he is who he says he is ...his security clearance should be revoked immediately...you do not serve the United States as an exercise in braggadocio on a message board discussing fluid situations...you serve as a quiet professional...otherwise just a guy who has read too many Tom Clancy novels.

    Aren't you kinda giving away state secrets here? I mean the kind of secrets that could potentially get someone hurt? You're not with the Geraldo Rivera party, are you?
