The blowback also takes in Mr. Bret Stephens. Let's see if he is willing to take one for the team.

So, essentially, until the American people elect someone who realizes this is ineffective window dressing and has the stones to reverse it, there will be no "Korea Return" M1 Garands or M1 Carbines.

That's how it worked with the Bushes and Saddam Hussein.

Assad ain't likely to leave power...IMO, he very well may be the Anti-Christ (based on my reading of the biblical text).

Whatever may end up happening in Syria, remember: He's just the tool in God's hand.

This fight in Syria may well mean WWIII and Armageddon.

The Talmud even confirms this mode of thinking:

"If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill them first."

Obama and his ilk will reap what they sow and rightly.

Still trying to wrap my head around the difference between being burning to death after being blown up by a drone and poison gas.

At least the gas you can dress for...OHHHH so thats it.

Of course Israel has been committing acts of war against Iran for years now. Iran should be allowed self defense.

You religious bible nuts are amusing. You think everything can be explained by the bible. The Old Testament is nothing more than a very biased history of the Jewish people. The New Testament is a claim and is proof of nothing.

Get your heads out of the sand and out of the Bible. Deal with the realities of the world today. So-called prophecy is just so much bullshit.

I have to laugh at those who promote reason over religion - while doing the most unreasonable thing imaginable, trying to change peoples' minds through ridicule. Maybe they ought to take some of their own advice, and try reason instead.

First off, Assad got 72 of probably the best anti-shipping missiles on the planet in May. Remember that? Mach 2.5 ramjets that Jane's says are "formidable ship killers". And we send missile boats to be within their range? Soviets were lacking and are lacking in carriers and viable subs, but their new missiles are formidable.

Part II regarding somebody being stupid on Penn Avenue:


Kosovo is an obvious precedent for Mr Obama because, as in Syria, civilians were killed and Russia had longstanding ties to the government authorities accused of the abuses.

In 1999, president Bill Clinton used the endorsement of NATO and the rationale of protecting a vulnerable population to justify 78 days of air strikes.

A senior administration official said the Kosovo precedent was one of many subjects discussed in continuing White House meetings on the crisis in Syria.

''It's a step too far to say we're drawing up legal justifications for an action, given that the President hasn't made a decision,'' said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ''But Kosovo, of course, is a precedent of something that is perhaps similar.''

So you were entirely correct they'd use the same Balkan model. But Balkans didn't have people pre-positioned all over the planet to raise hell if attacked...

Regards in Liberty,

72 of these...Google "Yahont". Jane's Defence says they are serious ship killers and we send surface ships with tomahawks? I remember when the Royal Navy was outfitted with Exocets, the same as the Argies, but the Argies effectively used theirs. RIP HMS SHeffield, etc...

Then laugh and move on. Don't say you weren't warned though....should it actually come to pass.

Best of luck to you regardless.
