Why does Obama want this war with Syria?

Heh.

He wants his own war, not one he inherited from W or whoever...

His Own.


I am, of course, kidding........mostly.

[bigtree]

1. it would be false to call it his own

. . . this is part and parcel of the decades-old PNAC dream for a domino-like obliteration of anti-Israel oriented regimes in the Middle East. 'Axis of Evil' stuff.

It's patently Bushian.

[Lionel Mandrake]

2. Yeah, Bushian is the word for it.

Bush is a war criminal. Obama wants to just like him. A war against Syria would be just the ticket.

3. It's a sad truth.

[kentuck]

4. Either that or...

There is something in the Snowden documents that he doesn't want anyone to see??

[quinnox]

5. watch what happens, his poll numbers will go up and everyone will start to feel extra-patrioticy

if he orders the military strike on Syria. There will even be many OPs saying how this is actually a great, noble, and brilliant idea, and there will be threads saying "I stand with my President" and "I trust Obama"

6. He's tired of hand-me-downs? nt
