Our Socialist in Chief could use a good war to clear the deck of all these minor distractions that have been threatening to derail his fundamental transformation of the US into a bona fide third world country.

at some point in this thread I will be told this is also Israel's fault. Used some money from USA to make Syria do this.

When you cross the line, does it really matter what color it is?

Normally its a Blue line crossing over a Red line as of late.

how much oil do they have..??

If we took it all I don't think it would even pay for the no-fly zone costs.

The UN reports that 93,000 Syrians have been killed so far. We want to put a stop to this by increasing military supplies to Al Qaeda linked rebels? What could go wrong.

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

I'm there too. McCain is insaneo but it looks like the Big O may go there to divert from his scandle ridden 2nd term.

I heard that was an inside job....

Winky McFlightsuit showed he knows how to fly prior to proclaiming mission accomplished and stuff.

And the war machine keeps churning....

Thank you Mr Dodge & Deflect Man.

If the president wanted to fly Airforce 1 would they have to let him..??

Clinton told him to paint the planes and bomb an asprin factory.

Soetoro shows he's netter than Bush.

Where have the "If you're not outraged you're not paying attention" bumperstickers gone that populated subaru/prius rear bumpers?

Does Syria have WMDs???

I think Sadam loaned them a few...

It sounds like actually both sides have used chemical weapons although not with any regularity. I don't even know how we are confirming this unless it is NSA spying or something.

We need some wars. We probably should bomb Iran just for good measure.

We don't need no mo' stinkin' wars!! You wanna be a hero and fight, become a mercenary. I'm sure Saudi Arabia & Quatar will pay you adequately.
You wanna help rebuild, get a job with frickin' Halliburton.

Make war. Then make love. = Baby Boomer generation

When you can see it, I'll respect that threat.

Report: Syrian rebels executed a 14-year-old boy for insulting Islam

When a 14-year-old boy from the Syrian city of Aleppo named Mohammad Qatta was asked to bring one of his customers some coffee,he reportedly refused,saying,“Even if [Prophet] Mohammed comes back to life,I won't.”

According to a story reported by two grassroots Syrian opposition groups, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Aleppo Media Center, Qatta’s words got him killed. A group of Islamist rebels,driving by in a black car,reportedly heard the exchange. They stopped the car, grabbed the boy and took him away.

Qatta,in refusing to serve a customer coffee - it’s not clear why - had used a phrase that the Islamist rebels took as an insult toward the Prophet Mohammed,the most important figure in Islam. That offhand comment,made by a boy,was apparently enough for these rebels to warrant a grisly execution and public warning.

The rebels, according to ABC News’ reconstruction of the Syrian groups’ reports,appear to have whipped Qatta. When they brought him back to where they’d taken him, his head was wrapped by a shirt.

The rebels waited for a crowd to gather;Qatta’s parents were among them. Speaking in classical Arabic, they announced that Qatta had committed blasphemy and that anyone else who dared insult the Prophet Mohammed would share his fate. Then,the shirt still wrapped around the boy’s head,the rebels shot him in the mouth and neck.

As Islamist groups continue to take territory in the Syrian civil war, more Syrians are coming under the control of armed extremists who enforce an austere and sometimes violent version of sharia law. The Washington Post’s Liz Sly has reported on other such punishments in Aleppo,where the al-Qaeda-allied group Jabhat al-Nusra is thought to lead the newly established sharia enforcement authority.

Such incidents are a sign of the rise of extremism within a rebel movement that began,over two years ago,largely unified behind the goals of ousting President Bashar al-Assad and establishing democracy.

The influx of avowed jihadists and extremists is bad news for Syrians, and not just because those under rebel rule have to worry about sharing Qatta’s fate if they are perceived as insufficiently pious. The growth of these groups seems bound to exacerbate tensions between rebel factions,easing Assad’s military path to victory,and scaring off the Western powers that might otherwise be persuaded to lend the rebels greater support. Lots of people in and outside of Syria could get behind the idea of ousting a cruel and unpopular dictator and replacing him with something more democratic. But few things are more universally loathed than an al-Qaeda-allied group that executes children.

just becaues you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there....
