The plan is to bomb buildings to show our force, not bomb people.
What are typically in and around buildings?
People will die.
The plan is to bomb empty ones to show our force, or at least that is what I heard, and it was what I initially meant.
There are some Syrian cities that are abandoned, or at least we assume are abandoned.~Carter~

I know you are trying to point out your hatred for Obama, but Obama said he wants no troops on the ground to aid the rebels. He wants to aid the poor, innocent Syrian citizens.
Get your facts straight.
It's McCain who wants to help the rebels, which saddens me because I like McCain but that is a dumb idea.~Carter~

well my friend when you have the STRAIGHT FACTS let us all know cuse after these last 5 or so years I find it hard to believe anything obama says or for that matter any polition and why the word "hate" ? I said from the start this guy was trouble and if you don't like him it's a political difference if I don't like him it's "hate"....have you thought that maybe my "political difference" was spot on right from the start.....don't hate me because I'm right

What were you right about? About him being a bad President, or in your words he was "trouble"? Many think he is a good President, including me. It's your opinion if he is bad. You are not right. People's opinion on how the President is doing is pure opinion. Many think Bush was terrible but I would disagree. I thought he was good too. It's all just opinion.

I think we are following the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." One of Syria's biggest supporters happens to be Iran. So in turn we will be fighting a proxy war with Iran by bombing Syria. In this case our "friend" will be none other than Al-Queda who supports the Syrian rebels.0

yes you nailed it "All Presidents have hard times to go through. No Presidency is perfect"
maybe the older I get the less I trust our government amd honestly at this point I can't even think of a president I would trust,hopefully in the coming years things will get better.

"The president has left sequestration in place. We have planes being grounded, pilots not receiving training, equipment not being maintained, and yet he wants to go and spend money with the attack against Syria," said Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
According to a report in The Washington Free Beacon, the administration would have to seek additional funding from Congress to pay for attacks on Syria. This would make it all the more imperative for President Obama that Congress authorize the strikes in the first place, and all the more difficult for Obama to proceed if Congress doesn't.

This is my view on Syria. It's a CIA paradox. It just goes to show you how Masters of War play both sides. We are helping Al Queida here and fighting them there. Doesn't make sense does it. Just goes to show people that THEY want you to pick a side when technically there isn't any because they play both. So I suggest humanitarian aid and UN Inspectors.0

President Obama's move to have Congress authorize use of force is brilliant. It is what Congress is SUPPOSED TO DO. They are the ones empowered to authorize war... it's in the Constitution. Make the proponent's of war actions in Syria (Lindsey Graham and John McCain and their FOX New mouth pieces) put their words into actions.
We should have learned from the debacle in Iraq that turning the War Powers to the Executive Branch is giving too much power to one branch of government.
Make Congress do what their job description calls on them to do.

Maybe the Bin-mans plan is getting ramped up even after his death. Not only is the west seemingly going to get sucked into another mess, but we are arming the Bin-mans legions. Nice!

Are the people of the America being deceived? LONDON 11
John Kerry’s reference to the London 11. Who is the London 11. For all of that, out of 121 Member States, only 11 will take part in the meeting (Germany, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, United States, France, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, United Kingdom and Turkey). The other 110 members will keep a safe distance.

This is took place in 2012, July 6. There were 121 States attending the Paris summit of the Friends of Syria. It was July 6, 2012. There was talk of an imminent collapse of Syria and its wealth was already being divided up.
The "Friends of Syria" are scheduled to meet on 22 June 2013 in Doha (Qatar). Discussions will focus on arms shipments to the "Free Syrian Army," in the presence of its "chief of staff" General Salim Idriss.
The 11 participants, to whom General Salim Idriss already submitted his list of grievances on 14 June, regard him as an eminent interlocutor. However, despite his title, there is no such thing as an "FSA joint chiefs of staff," but merely a coordination by NATO of groups fighting under this label.
For all of that, out of 121 Member States, only 11 will take part in the meeting (Germany, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, United States, France, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, United Kingdom and Turkey). The other 110 members will keep a safe distance.
Indeed, during the G8 summit in Lough Erne, President Vladimir V. Putin recalled that the delivery of weapons to armed groups in Syria constitutes a violation of international law and exposes the guilty parties to prosecution in international courtSIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.0 -
The bottom line... nothing will change.
We will hit airfields and command and control centers... fixed artillery batterys... but, that's it. No effect because Syrian jets have already fled to Iran... command an contol have dispersed... fixed artillery batterys are not being used in this conflict (the rebels are not flying jets against the military).
Chemical weapons are being delivered by mobile artillery and difficult to locate. We can't tell which batterys are firing conventional and which are firing chemical shells.
Also... we are we... The United States... to talk about collateral damage? We should ask Afghanistan and Iraq if they are okay with the collateral damage caused by our 2,000 lb conventional munitions dropped on a house that had 2 'insurgents' in it. we didn't 'mean' to kill those civillians... they were just acceptable collateral damage that is justified because we were 'aiming at the bad guys'... weren't they?Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions!

Our president just threw the citizens of his own country, congress, and the nations of the world under the bus by saying this decision to act against Syria is our responsibility, not his.
Plus, he said he doesn't need congressional approval. He legally didn't have to get permission to start a war.
If he starts lobbing cruise missles without congressional authorization, I say impeach. He is out of control.0
