Will Military Response to Syria Really Be "Limited"?

The USA make threats. The USA then make good on those threats, and destroy entire nations.

So, when the USA make threats against yet another country, in what is obviously a systematic pattern of destablization of the same exact countries the government think tanks said needed to be destabalized in order to maintain USA dominance and power in the world, shouldn't it be taken seriously? Doncha think! Do we not suspend school kids for drawing pictures of shooting people?

 

My understanding is that UN inspectors are leaving early, raising suspicions of an attack.

 

My point here is that Obama is already being attacked, on the premise that he already has launched. Which he has not. This affair is being used by partisan GOPers to throw more mud, on the basis of potential events in the future.

In the UK, Cameron is in the same boat as Obama, yet the British opposition to Cameron haven't gone on some pre-emptive, guessing what he'll do in the future attack on the PM. Why? Because we're not a bunch of freaking idiots in the UK!

To this point, don't kid yourself that the idiots ranting on this forum have any impact on, well, anything whatsoever! All they do is blow everything vaguely to do with Obama out of proportion and rant and wail.

 

Well I did hear it on Fox about a hour ago. I have not heard that on a additional source so I guess it is still wait and see hopefully it was correct.

 

Obama knows only he and a few 9%ers want yet another war over specious WMD claims. He'll do some missiles here, some bombing there, try and make it look like no big deal. It'll be tough if he has to send in ground troops. Even his 9%ers here will have a tough time trying to rationalize it.

His mind is already made up.

 

I predict he'll bomb an abandoned soap factory in the middle of the desert with the full consent of Assad. Then well build Assad a nice new soap factory and the media will hail Obama as the man who stopped WWIII.

This whole charade is not about saving rebels from chemical munitions. Obama rattled his saber and Assad rattled back. Throw the fact Obama slept through Benghazi and has found it impossible to sleep or vacay through this entire affair and It gives him a good reason to prove how tough he is.
Personally I think it's all theatrics and Assad is removing the old forklifts from the soap factory now.

 

Some bloke on the internet says so....

I've no idea personally and neither do you.

Some "Bloke" indeed...

 

Is that written by Obama?

The point is, we do not know and furthermore there is no value in guessing, except that it allows the US Right the childish ability to throw more mud. So go ahead.

 

Engel is now the US right? Damn man just admit you are wrong and move on. Its damn funny you thought Engel was some random person tweeting now you dont care because its not Obama;s own words..... You didnt even read the article.. Engel is the leading journalist in the ME and has credentials up the ass. YOU are just some "bloke" on the internet.

 

Hold it right there. Although I don't want us involved, I also don't give a rats ass what the UN says about US use of force. WE DO NOT need their permission. at all. ever.

We are a sovereign nation and free to act when we wish.

 

This is what happens when the US does not have a Leader and Statesman.....we have a community activist. I heard on the news last night that POTUS will show proof that the attack was by the State of Syria. For me it makes no difference, best to let them kill each other and not get involved.

Funny how the shoe is on the other foot now and POTUS, the Dems are doing what they said the never would do. The airwaves are full of speeches by Dem. statesmen and the current POTUS from the 1990's and 2000's ranting about Bush and warfare. I find karma with Kerry being in his new position to be fitting.

Hypocrites.

 

YES!!

Probably the same reason as they were rushed out of Iraq in '03.

USA, after demanding their presence, are now demanding they leave. They're in the way of cluster bombs and white phosphorous and depleted uranium munitions.

If they could stay, they might reach a conclusion. They might say Assad didn't launch the chem weapons. Therefore, make sure to get the war started first, so, like in the case of Iraq, by the time we realize the call for war was based on a hoax, it will be too late, they won't care, because now the corporatitions can still continue their war profiteering anyway.

 

As I recall the left were quick to abandon their support for Iraq the minute it stopped looking easy. Yet the left was not only required for their support, they gave it willingly. When Obama gets any type of Congressional support perhaps then we'll have something to talk about...

 

"A Sr US official tells NBCNews "we're past the point of return" and US airstrikes against Syrian targets appear inevitable."within days."

If it was a forgone conclusion, why use the word "appear"? I mean, that word inherently is a cop out.

Also, why not give a full quote?

A Sr US official tells NBCNews *Start quote* "we're past the point of return" *End quote* and US airstrikes against Syrian targets appear inevitable.*Start quote* "within days." *End quote*

I was talking about YOU!

 

Not internationally you are not. Internally yes, externally, no.

 

Sorry you cant spin your way out of this one

 

From the start I opposed both, but I did notice the US Right's support fading away when things got messy.

You could improve your reading comprehension...

Engel isnt the US Right like i said before... His tweet is what i am basing my opinion on deal with it.. Or continue ranting about the right like you usual do i could care less. I made my point. I showed you for the hack you are.

 

Your posts are rather pathetic now.

 

Flamebait denied.

 

I always thought the point of a representative democracy is that the representatives serve the will of their constituents. I guess I was wrong.

 

Globalists hit Libya 1st and told us later. They got away with it because it was just airstrikes. The only reason they would suggest our action from the beginning is if they wanted ground troops in there, or because it is a bluff. Me thinks a bluff.

 

I think it's going to be an ineffective Clintonesque firing of a few cruise missiles, and maybe dropping a few bombs. In other word, almost nothing. Iran will be laughing.
