Seriously? I mean, it's only on like every news site out there right now (and has been since late yesterday afternoon). I haven't checked TPM, MJ, or Ezra Klein's column yet. I'm sure they're still cooking up a way to blame Republicans.

Blow me. You guys run for the hills everytime Obama farts.
This must be the grown-up discussion you've been saying you want, but others just won't let you have.
Treating you like you treated me. Don't like it? Don't respond to me.
But I'm enjoying watching the mental breakdown you've been having lately.

I guess the scandals will be hitting close to home in the next few days.. Time for a diversion.
We should stay out of it. Let your buddy Notintheyahoo deal with Syria.

Going into Syria would be a terrible idea. With whom do ally ourselves, the side that hates our guts, or the side that hates our guts?
And you won't be able to blame McCain (although that might not stop you from trying) if we do. It'll be all O's.
I thought McCain was from Arizona not Alabama?

Neutralize the Syrian Chemicals and leave. We don't ally with any group. Take the Storage Depots, shoot anyone that encroaches on the perimeter, neutralize the weapons, pack up, go.
As for the things already loose, hopefully whoever has it will mishandle and kill themselves.
So you are FOR sending troops in?

More like a raid, not an invasion. It could be as simple as seizing a Depot and destroying all the Chemicals while inside their Bunkers.

It doesn't have to be an either/or. It is in the realm of possibility that it could be both.

Since you don't have the income to attend a MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL event, you won't have to worry about being in a stadium/arena if a Chemical Weapon is detonated inside, exposing thousands to lethal levels of a nerve agent.
But maybe you have friends or family that do attend.
You really want these weapons unsecured?

Clinton was accused of "wag the dog" when didn't go after OBL when he had the chance. He was too involved in the aftermath of Clintongate. You’ll remember him getting his knob polished in the Oval by a WH intern. The poor Billy only got caught because he splattered on the intern’s dress.

No tin foil hat here. If Israel has a problem with a country or group, it is inevitable that we go after that group or country in some way. THey let us use our soldiers for their dirty work.
