Political analyst time.  Obama's been a total loser on Syria.  Worse than the Zimmerman/Trayvon case.  This is "WORLD-STAGE" stuff.  Big boy stuff.  Not phony NBC/Al Sharpton fluff.

First, he draws a red-line (Cowboy diplomacy?).  Then he says "Uhh I didn't draw a redline, the world did" or whatever.  (Some Cowboy).  He can't even get the Brits to join him.  He can't even get himself to join himself!!

Then he says:  "My credibility is not on the line.  Uhhh... yours is!  The World's is!  Uhhh... CONGRESS' is!"  wTF?  So that's what this is about?  You?  Call a life line man.  Didn't he claim Bush damaged our reputation "abroad?"  What's this then?  Improving it?  How's your coalition?  Is this the "Arab Spring?"

Just put the little rich boy, John F. Kerry back on the mic.   LOL

Is it possible that the problem of Syria could be solved by the commentators at Smiley Smile Dot Net?  LOL

The lefties who support Obama just want to start World War III. No big deal, right? I mean, they'll have "free health care", peace, harmony, unicorns and fucking leprechauns, right?

As they should be. But this is no big surprise. They all claimed they voted for him because Romney would start a war in the Middle East. Now Obama has come back to bite them in the ass. Not like there was any real difference between Obama and Romney short of their political parties...but hey.

It's madness. Every inch closer Obama and his admin. brings us to Syria makes me want to punch a hole through something.

Well...... I happen to be an Obama supporter and I am not angry at him.

If he wants to bomb Assad's palace into smithereens and blow up a bunch of Syrian command and control, I'm good wid dat.... etc....

World War III didn't start when Bush invaded Iraq, so I doubt it will start now.

The Obamabots need to just swallow their pride and admit that they love war now that their messiah is in office.

Because Romney only got "47%"  LOL

I can see you haven't thought this through.

What, in your opinion, happens once we depose him?

If you want Assad to be put down, maybe YOU should go over and make that happen.

Of course, it could be Total Chaos!  No doubt about that.  Similar to Iraq 2006 perhaps.

I guess ideally, Syria could be partitioned in half: half run by a chemical weapons-using maniac, the other half run by... ?

So, Assad uses chemical weapons and YOU reward him by leaving him alone??

Rather, the rebels use chemical weapons and YOU reward them by putting them in power after Assad is taken out. woohoo

There is absolutely zero proof that Assad used chemical weapons and plenty of evidence to back it up. You think he's stupid? The last thing he needs is outside interference in a civil war.

Seriously, just for comparison sake, do people think the USA and NATO were wrong to intervene in Bosnia in 1995?

And, is Assad stupid?

Like father like son:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hama_massacre

To ask "is Assad stupid" is a cop out and a non sequitur .  Makes no sense.  Like any of us really know what is going on in the mind of a dictator.  Of course he's not STUPID but he is a DICTATOR.

Rather ask:

Why didn't Saddam capitulate prior to the USA invasion, which he knew he'd lose.  Hmmm?

U.S. intervention in Bosnia and FR Yugoslavia was just as wrong. As it was in Afghanistan and Iraq.

True to an extent, but most "Democrats" "Liberals" I know are completely against this and are slamming Obama every which way. This is a bit unique since so many Repubs would have supported Bush if he proposed to bomb their own house.... And it is quite nice and entertaining watching all the right wingers pretending that being against bombing ANYTHING/ANYWHERE doesn't hurt their brains..... But again, it is nice seeing it for a change.

And yeah, I love seeing the true colors of all these Obamatards who are still supporting the man coming out.

It's all partisanism. The left were burning effigies of Bush when he was president just like the right burns effigies of Obama now. That's all it is. Partisanism.

Yep! But hopefully more and more people will see it for what it is now.

I'd suggest, Mr. Pinder, that in reality the situation is not all "black vs. white" or "yes vs. no", and no pun intended.  The devil is in the details, and probably ANYTHING we do (even NOTHING) will have a bad result.

Seriously, to me, the relevant analogy is Bosnia, not Iraq.

Being an Obamatard, as you disrespectfully term me, if Reagan has called for bombing of Iraq because Saddam chemically bombed Halabja (1988), then yeah, I'd have supported that even though I was and am anti-Reagan.

To me, dictators shouldn't be allowed to get away with use of chemical weapons.  Just sayin'.

Granted, as others have said, that Obama's proposed action could make a Chaotic situation More Chaotic.  What should we do, just stand around and wee in our pants?

Dictators who use chemical weapons or commit genocide need to be answered back.  You obviously disagree.

I'd agree if the last 50+ years of US Foreign Policy didn't make us complete hypocrites. It's a little detail I make the choice not to ignore.

 If Obama wants to bomb something, he should bomb Monsanto.....
