Seems most here share the same Syria plan

[Barfly]

The "red line" situation just looks like another step in the current administration's application of "smart power" towards Syria, and the entire region.

I don't agree with the perception that we are after-the-fact participants in a self-generated morass over there - we are causing it. Part of a broad initiative for regime changes in the region, sparked directly by discrete US association with various groups, the Brotherhood being an obvious one.

These changes you see in the region were going to happen eventually. We didn't cause, nor effect them. What you see here is VERY complex, and involves the core fears of the Gulf States about their long-term stability, Iran and Hezbollah needing the Assad regime, the Egyptians torn over Islamic politics and a lot of other nuance.

What is fascinating, watching Congress, is the amount of bipartisan agreement on the idea that involvement in Syria is a risky prospect to be avoided. Then again, my enthusiasm is tempered by the words of Louis White,"....and, nothing is more dangerous than when those pricks work together"

[Barfly]

The opportunity was there, just a nudge here and there was needed. Not much more than nuance and a few promises to make things happen.

Add this below...to the above...and what do you see?

"Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Russia may have supplied Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad with the chemical weapons he is accused of using on his own citizens.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) asked Hagel, "Where did these chemical weapons come from?"
Hagel said "there is no secret the Assad regime" has had a "significant stockpile" of chemical weapons. Wilson asked him if there was a particular country that may have supplied Assad with chemical weapons.
"Well, the Russians supply 'em, others are supplying them with those chemical weapons. They make some themselves," Hagel said."

Seems the Dem's are wanting to start WWIII over Obama's ego and loose mouth.
For the record, Obama needs to be impeached now.

Er, probably stockpiles from Iraq, according to a former Iraqi Air Force General, Georges Sada:

PENTAGON WALKS BACK HAGEL'S CLAIM RUSSIA SUPPLIED CHEMICAL WEAPONS TO SYRIA

In a day filled with setbacks for an administration desperate to save a president's "redline" credibility, Thursday the Pentagon delivered another when it was forced to clarify Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's bizarre statement before Congress Wednesday that Russia supplies Syria with chemical weapons:
In a response to a member of Congress, Secretary Hagel was referring to the well-known conventional arms relationship between Syria and Russia. The Syrian regime has a decades-old largely indigenous chemical weapons program. Currently, Russia provides the Syrian regime a wide variety of military equipment and support, some of which can be modified or otherwise used to support the chemical weapons program. We have publicly and privately expressed our concern over the destabilizing impact on the Syrian conflict and the wider region of continued military shipments to the Assad regime.

The three freak'n stooges....Barry, Kerry and Chuck.
9-11 could have a whole different meaning this year...as in a new war.
These amateur assclowns, surrounded be more amateur assclowns are so far over their heads that they are danger to themselves, others and our country. They, collectively, just need to STFU and step back twenty paces.....resign and fade away. It's gonna take decades to undo/fix this last two weeks of "gangbang" stupidity.

@Slick......I got a feeling yer not in total disagreement with me..on this?

how do you add 2 and 2 and come up with 6 so regularly, Pud? Let's start with a bunch of GOP lawmakers that have been suggesting BOOTS ON THE GROUND for months, now, and go to how you think WWIII comes out of this whole situation,as laid out to date by the administration? Finally, it's clear(noted by none other than Bobby Jindal a couple days back) that there is NOTHING in Obama's term in office that is any way grounds for impeachment(to which Jindal stated, 'shut up already', and I couldn't put it better).
