Good Lord, Kerry Says We Need To Get Into Syria.

[Jackie S]

Here we go again.

I don't think the Russians are going to sit back and let a Radical Muslim Faction take over a government that they consider an ally.

The only question should be, how many Americans are we going to sacrifice in order to dispose of one despicable dictator in favor of another despicable form of government, that being a radical Muslim Theocracy?

Is it the gas thing? I am sure the thousands that have already have been killed on either side of this conflict are happy they were killed with bullets and bombs rather than gas.

The beat goes on.

More lame deflection ... anything to draw attention away from ineptness. He's qualified, though:

LL, excellent characterization of Dub! I can't think of a better word (ineptness) to describe his 8 years in office.

Just what we need, another war where we will not win and create another hole to piss away money we do not have.

The fact is; if we are going to tell the world we have a "red line" that is not to be crossed and we do not act immediately, there may as well not be a "red line".

I think it much better that we not share with the world what our "red lines" are especially if we are not going to do a thing about it.

Personally, I say let them gas each other to their hearts content and if the UN wants to do something let them, but without our $$$$$ being involved in any way. More importantly, keep our fighting forces out of there.

Shit sure gets fucked up when you let a peanut farmer, a con man, and a community organizer run this country.

LL, while on the subject of Dub's ineptness, apparently during the buildup to the ill fated and ill advised spring of 2003 invasion of Iraq, General Colin Powell also felt the UN Inspections should continue. I can't help but wonder where else we have heard that same assessment.

BTW LL, do you plan to watch the documentary? Or will you keep your head beneath the dessert sand?

What say you, LL?

"In a new documentary airing Monday on the National Geographic Channel, former Secretary of State Colin Powell opens up about the U.S. invasion of Iraq and claims that he warned President Bush that the U.S. was being steamrolled into war. In the clip from National Geographic's "America vs. Iraq," which was previewed Monday on HuffPost Live, Powell is also heard calling out former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Powell described a meeting with President Bush in which he says he recommended the U.S. defer to the United Nations for weapons inspections rather than rush to war.

"I said [to President Bush], 'I recommend you take it to the UN. They are the aggrieved party. It's their resolutions that have been offended,'" Powell says in the documentary.

In a later speech, Cheney dismissed the idea, saying that Saddam Hussein had "perfected the game of cheat and retreat" and would fool UN weapons inspectors searching for weapons of mass destruction.

"In his speech, he effectively shot down the proposal, shot down what we were getting ready to do," Powell said of Cheney. "'The UN couldn't do this, it was probably a waste of time.' Everything that you shouldn't have said, in my humble judgment, with respect to a decision the President had made."

Paul Mitchell, Executive Producer of "America vs. Iraq," joined HuffPost Live to discuss the film and told host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin that he believes Powell when he says he opposed the Iraq war.

"I think he was in a very, very difficult position," Mitchell said of Powell. "As far as I can tell, he did make the arguments in private, trying to make the policy better."

LL's silence is deafening!

McCain is just a lackey of the military industrial complex and not worthy of his office.
But then again, there may be plenty of that MIC in Arizona and he is advocating whet he thinks is best for his state. Unfortunately it may not be what is best for this nation.
