Ask him if he will bail out the banks again, or allow multi billion dollar companies like GE to shirk taxes, the yes, will be resounding, and delivered with no doubt.

The common man is outpriced by the average politician, but if you like oil (and got buku bucks), then maybe we can start a war for ya.

I love this.

Direct link to previously posted link to G20 obama speech.


Another reporter SPECIFICALLY asks him AGAIN (at 31:50 i think), if he'll go ahead with a strike if congress says no. The type of question a simple YES, or NO would do. Nope, he engages in circle talk to 37:15, and then says he answered the question.

So true.
Not that Obama is the first, or will be the last.

Well i wonder why e.g. the CIA would find that astonishing ?
Apart from that, when it comes to "killing babies", "raping women" or "..a country" and propaganda like that, you usually know that there will be war soon.

Practical point. Why give lawmakers cover to vote against the resolution?

You sure about that? After all, you wouldn't want to get labeled as a conspiracy theory nutcase by the self appointed kangaroo court would you? Choose your words wisely my friend. After all, things like Bengazi, IRS scandal, NSA scandal, Patriot act, NDAA, Fast and furious, erosion of civil liberties, all fake! They are mere figments of an overactive imagination! Only crackpots, conspiracy theorists and blithering idiots stay awake after such imaginary occurrences. Normal, sane, and rational people go back to sleep like nothing ever happened.

Our government is an all wise benevolent force for good. They would never lie or deceive us. They know what is best for us, and they purely represent the will of the people and would never be dissuaded by large sums of money, special interests, or similar dishonesty, nor would they ever infringe upon our rights. To suggest otherwise is complete lunacy!

So we're back to a showy but ultimately harmless smack to the face of the projected winner. I just don't see that being worth the thousands of civilian casualties this could produce.
Just for the record, lets say you are right ...

Where are these chemical weapons going to wind up?

In the hands of the friends of Syria?

or in the hands of the rebel commanders?

Sooner or later (2018 is Israel's 70th anniversary of statehood)
they will be used against Israel, the common enemy of all non
Jewish settlers in the region.

Which chemical weapons, again ?

I know there's so much hype in the western media, there HAVE to be chemical weapons, right ?
Soon Mr. Kerry will step up and show a glass tube full of 'evidence', just like Mr. Powell.

Maybe the West should just check its bills of weapons sold to Syria, i am sure they find something

What did Assad exactly do, to pi.. off the West ?

Maybe denying some other oil-producing country to build a pipeline, through Syria ?
