Obama Blinks
Is that the correct word in this case? So, everyone thought he was ready to strike in Syria, but now he is ready, but will seek congressional approval. Which is the way it should be, but he was firm...

Obama wants the US citizens (wary from the last Bush war) to understand the importance of striking.

LOL. I don't think that's his concern at all. He's trying to prove that he's a paper tiger. BTW, Bush got the approval of Congress for both Afghanistan and Iraq, and if we go back to the polls during...

If Obama launches strikes on Syria he may well be responding to the horrific use of chemical weapons but he will be siding with al Qaeda and aiding and possibly arming the wrong $%%@%$! side. Instead...

Precisely. Which is why, if the US goes in (or rather, lobs some missiles), the entire consequences have to be rigorously analyzed. We *#!@%% it up with Egypt, so let's not do it again with Syria....

Well, he has so many friends in Congress who would aid in solidarity. But yes. This is one of those cases where the "Cure" may very well be much much worse then the "disease". Sometimes Evil must be...

The people of Syria are screwed. If we bomb them, they are screwed. If we let the war go on, they are screwed. IfAssad wins, they are screwed. If the radical rebels win, they are screwed. Like the...

I think this has become a difficult decision for everyone involved. I don't blame Britain for backing out, it's perfectly understandable. I understand France's stance because they have much invested...

I have grown wary about all of these dealings in foreign crises. They never seem to end well for us. I hate seeing human life lost, but no matter what we do, half of the world will be pissed about it....

I think if you are damned if you do and damned if you don't then the latter option is probably the best way to go. if you're going to be damned anyway then it's better to be damned for not being the...

So much of this could be avoided if people went back to using assassins. In quiet, out quiet. Minimal, if any, loss of civilians. Or even soldiers.

In WW2, I really don't think it would have made a difference if we entered earlier. We had to have trained fighting men, so we wouldn't make mistakes. We DID early on in big ways, particularly the...

Good point about Germany and the Eastern Front. Yes, aside from assassination, there is probably no way the U.S. could have stopped Hitler when Germany was at it peak in power. Mirek
