I'd say between 50 to 65% likely which means I have to vote yes. I could be wrong. nt el_bryanto Sep 2013 #11

isn't it? And to win at poker...sometimes you have to follow through. Assad folded instead...

Is this your first summer following politics?

You bet I AM a piece of work!

and you insisted over and over that the U.S. had to bomb Assad's forces to punish him

nor did you mention once the possibility that this was about diplomacy.

honesty, you really should try it.

btw, piece of work is not a complement, nilla

I wanted those chemical weapons removed from play BECAUSE al Queda is in play and COULD get their hands on them.

Oh and the WAY I am a piece of work...IS a compliment!

Is crow good for breakfast? Just asking...

If you had said within a year, most likely yes; by the end of this year, probably not.

What's astounding is the amount of posters on this board who think they are certain they know how this will play out. Respectfully, they don't have a clue.
