Syria

[82Rigger]

Just learned that the Russians are sending warships to the Med.

When it comes to the Superpowers, you might want to do some research and see WHO has WHAT and WHERE IT IS.

Just sayin'.

Your line: "Perhaps you all don't consider the aftermath of you decisions to be important" from the other thread is also quite appropriate here too, Steve.

Naturally, such should instead be addressed to our quite military knowledgeable: "Shot across the bow" Commander-In-Chief and his similarly quite lordly ideologic ruling elite colleagues.

Neil,

Looks like the UK has backed out of the strike.

Don't know the full story, but probably their Parliament voted it down.

If it happens it will be the U.S. doing it alone.

What do you think, Neil?

Is this something we need to do?

Everyone I've talked to is against it.

Rigger

[reconeil]

Count me in as one of those: "Against it", Rigger.

Regardless and on that what do I think?
Well,...here's a short and easy way of fixing things.

1. First charge The UN to rectify the Syrian situation, since that's exactly why I/YOU/WE and/or The U.S. Taxpayer BIG TIME PAY those pompously BIG TIME Party Animals to do.

2. Naturaly UN will accomplish nothing as usual, which will be a good excuse for America to bail-out out of that Worthless Org., kick them out of NYC, and sell that vast building complex.

3. The MANY Billion$ saved by: "We The People" would be astronomical, from which we could send as much humanitarian and medical aid, and as much as whichever of our Syrian Enemies could possibly ever need.

According to Secretary of State John Kerry (that combination of words doesn't seem to roll off the tongue well, does it?)...

Anyway, according to John Kerry, United States intelligence sources have intercepted a communication in which Syrian high government officials are discussing using chemical attacks and how to cover them up, and expressing concern about their being discovered.

That is a very obvious SMOKING GUN.

IF IT IS TRUE.

IF IT IS TRUE, then why wasn't it shared with the UK, since their Parliament decided that there was not enough concrete evidence to justify a strike against Syria.

I, for one, have heard no such communication between Syrian officials.

So, to me, that means:

1. Kerry is telling the truth, OR

2. Kerry is LYING.

Until I hear that communication, it does not exist.

That's my position, and I'm stickin' to it.

"Secretary of State John Kerry" rolls off the tongue about as well as a spiney turd would, Rigger.

I find it amazing that the two largest (re. American Legion & VFW) and all other Veteran Organizations didn't Scream Bloody-Murder when the once duplicitous and self-aggrandizing Lt., and despicably-purposeful Liar & Deceiver of United States Congress was appointed Secretary of State.

Guess The Imperial Prez and all other career ruling elite vetting the once Lt. Vietnam War Protester and obvious phony: "Rambo JFKerry" figured he couldn't possibly be any worse or more inept than his callously cavalier predecessor: Hillary Rodham Clinton, and/or that total failure as Secretary of State orchestrating that U.S. Shame at Benghazi.

On that: "Couldn't possibly be any worse" bit (???),...in fairness let's wait and see.

Maybe John whom actually APPLIED FOR 3 Purple Hearts and received them will cavalierly run up a bigger U.S. Body Count than Hillary did?

He too seems like a very brave, courageous and trustworthy political climber.

Rigger,
Besides Russian warships in the area, heard this morning on FNC (Where else?) that Chinese (also an Assad/Syria friendly nation) warships are headed towards Syria.

How do you think that effects Obama's STRANGE (What Actually Did TWICE & now denies doing even once) declaring of a: "Red Line" Ultimatum to nation of Syria???

Do you think that'll change the equation and get his godly or lordly supremacist head out of his exceptionally pompous as first American king political a--? Coming back down to earth might also be helpful?

Regardless, I feel sorry for The U.S. Military (U.S. civilians also) which might be quite lethally affected by such a deadly naive civilian dictate or enforced feel good nonsensical acts of war.

Besides, why even have a United Nations if "They" CAN'T or WON'T do such constantly needed: "World Policing", INSTEAD?

Take all the MANY BILLION$ wasted on UN and feed the poor of The World, INSTEAD.

I hope that this deal of turning Syria chemical weapons over to international control works.

Putin is not Khruschev.

He is not one to be trifled with.

He will not back down like Khruschev did in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

There are Russian personnel in Syria.

If we kill any of them, there will be hell to pay.

Rigger

[reconeil]

I sure wish your hope (no doubt many others hopes also) works out, Rigger.

We're all in the same precariously sinking boat in dire straits.

Even if it's only Putin sensibly supplying the life-vests,...I accept.

Still, and with Putin's duplicitous and devious KGB and Stalin adoring background and Obama's also suspect background and sort-of-similar Quite Suspect of Intent Marxist leanings and even his obvious favoring of Islam,...it's hard to know just whom to actually believe these days?

Is Putin stroken US (both ways) for his and Russia's worldwide power and control and political advantage?

Is Obama stroken US (both ways) just to look good and to help Dems be elected next election?

Orrrrrrrrrr,...are Both Staunch Ideologues stroken US (both ways) for their own self-serving ends, parties and political survival???

Take your pick.
