If Assad attacked us, like hitting one of our ships, then they could say "See? Assad just attacked us! Now we have to get involved!" Then if someone raises the objection - "Wait a sec, we just attacked him first though" Then they might say "So? How dare he fight back?? Just who does he think he is, we are the USA, number one in the world!"

and I understand and share your anger over this....
it is getting so that the US of A invading and taking over other countries has become a damn routine!
poor Obqama does not even have a British poodle this time around.

Kerry seems to have a camel, tho....

My apologies.

I know you were being sarcastic.

I am so angry today about all this. To me, Obama has betrayed us, and I mean that word.

Our invasions are routine, and it is WRONG.

I have said several times since spring that there seems to be a sense of urgency about our land grabs now....
those in power in this country ( as well as other first world countries) seem to consider everyone a target, one way or the other.
