Dozens of nations support action in Syria?

Guys, I think we're devolving here. I think we're grasping at straws to try and get the people behind us. Remember teenaged boys who swore they had sex, but they couldn't introduce you to the girl, because she lived in Canada? When I was a freshman in High School, I desperately wanted to meet one of these nymphomaniacs from Canada, who wouldn't? Obviously I figured out they were lying by the time the first semester ended.

I was reminded of this when I saw this clip.

Dozens of nations support us and will assist us militarily, diplomatically, and politically. But we're not allowed to say who. That's classified you see.

Gang, I hate to say this about our party, but we have the image of someone pulling things out of their ass here. Just a couple days after President Obama said we were willing to go it alone, other nations have signed on with the understanding that we may never tell anyone they are involved?

How long before they start to use this line?

lead up to the last Iraq, or first, war....why magically now is
that info classified? It would be to the administration's advan-
tage to tell us but they can't and won't due to it's non-existance.
imho

That's why I mentioned my experience in high school. Every dweeb had banged a Canadian Girl during the summer before school started. Obviously you couldn't meet her, she was in Canada.

Stay in the background (I'm talking YOU Arab League and YOU Turkey) and let the United States pay for it in blood and treasure. When it goes sideways, these dozens of countries will criticize and complain.

I don't know who is ramrodding this in DC, but it's looking like a Marx Brothers Movie.
