So you state that chemical weapons have been used but the Prez. and intel community are awaiting hard evidence. You should provide your evidence to Sen. Graham and by doing accelerate an international response and save the Syrians from death.

Sweet Nancy is gettin all gussied up.

Immediately send McCain and Graham to the front lines. Once we can confirm that both have been killed we will convene a special panel of Michael Moore, Rachel Maddow, Al Gore, Chuck Hagel, and Oliver Stone. They will determine if the loss of McCain and Graham is worth young Americans dying.
Send Michael Moore to the front lines. There’s enough blubber to shield everyone from harm.
proof is in the “pudding”
Hi-larious!
As long as he has a ‘Smirks’ mask on,but hell,then you’d be an,’enemy combatant’ or just plain ugly motherfucker…
News Flash! I believe you will find that McCain has already been to the front lines. Have you?
News flash. Yes. Twice. And had to do my entire tours. Any more fucking questions. And my kids have done tours. Any more fucking questions.

It is LUDICROUS for ANYBODY on the Left to have the unmitigated gall to try to preach to us about Syria. You are Failure personified, and NOWHERE is that more apparent than in foreign policy.
See Libya, and four dead Americans, hung out to die, by the Disgusting politicians who put them there.
And: Obama is in the process of trading one group of gruesome monsters for another in Egypt.
He supported the Arab Spring and gave us the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo. He based his overthrow of that government on the idea that the previous regime was a murdering machine. What Obama gave as a replacement is worse.
If Obama was not a liberal democrat, he’d be called out for the TOTAL mess he is making in foreign policy.
Like Jimmy Carter is the root cause of Iran, and millions of deaths and trillions in costs, no one will lay the blame at Carter’s feet, because he is a Leftwing god.
The consequence of worshiping a horrible idol is harsh. And our sons and daughters will pay for the Complete and Bumbling Fool Obama is. And you have some NERVE trying to act as if your hands, as an Obama supporter, as not just as bloody.
Four Americans dead? Well you must really be outraged by the thousands dead in Iraq by Bush’s “foreign policy”
Go fuck yourself, sunshine.
Soldiers joining the military go in under known conditions, w/ every assurance that the US Congress (democrat and Republican) that sent them, will do as they say to back them.
You are a Filthy cretin to try and assuage your guilt over leaving those men in Benghazi to be raped and slaughtered because lazy and apathetic liberal politicians ignored them.
Not to mention: The US liberated the country of Iraq from a murderous dictator. That should pay dividends for a Century, unless Obama Screws it up. For that I’m proud, as I am of EVERY Freedom Fight my country has stepped up and fought.
I am ashamed of people who bash our soldiers and sickeningly abandon our countrymen because they lack the character to protect the people they promised and are obligated to save.
Lincoln must be rolling in his grave now that you’re using his image as your avatar.
He’s a Republican, who fought democrat Slave-owners, like you. Lincoln’s just like Rand Paul, Tim Scott, Ronald Reagan and Rand Paul…He loved FREEDOM. Lincoln would have been ashamed of Obama, and people like you…Deal with it!!!!
“He’s a Republican, who fought democrat Slave-owners, like you.”
But not the pro union Republicans like you?
Let me add: “.. it seems they’ve conveniently forgotten that Ronald Reagan, their Conservative hero, was also pro-union…”
You’ve Perverted unions, like you have Race, Gender and everything you touch…
Reagan was a democrat at one time, too. Then he ACCURATELY said the party left the American people….
He was also homosexual.Is this your way of finally coming-out?
The law of unintended consequences rule! I give you Iraq….
“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There
are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we
don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we
don’t know we don’t know.”

Should we stand idly by? Well, if we didn’t piss away a decade in Iraq, it might be slightly more trustworthy to have military intervention. We don’t have a huge war chest ready to spend on yet another war and yet another decade-long occupation of a country that may or may not be stable enough to run on its own and more than likely will not play a fiddle to American interests’ tune. (the reason I say this is because that will result in us “needing” to intervene at a later date for some other stupid reason. America doesn’t tend to back the best people in the world to run things when given the opportunity. Saddam Hussein was our friend at one point, remember that.)
Can we just bomb the shit out of wherever Assad and his henchmen are stationed and call it a day?

We pissed away trillions of dollars we didn’t even have for two wars with little to show for it. We still have people there today. How much intervention are we talking about? Also, why don’t we “intervene” when other massacres and/or genocides are going on? Why is it when we use chemical warfare (Agent Orange) it isn’t a big deal? Why isn’t our massive nuke stockpile an issue? Are we really qualified to be the world’s police?
Can we just bomb the shit out of wherever Assad and his henchmen are stationed and call it a day? That’s about the only “intervention” we should really even consider.
Humanitarian aid is a political weapon in itself. You better believe any aid we send would be contingent on certain political outcomes once the regime fails. Second, we are $16 trillion in debt. How can we afford to increase humanitarian aid when we’re going broke here? Andf if the United States is to give humanitarian aid to every nation where people are oppressed by an authoritarian regime, then we should go ahead and break the bank, because those in Mali, Belarus, Myanmar, Congo, Eritrea and Equitorial Guinea will be looking for aid. Lastly, does anyone really believe our money will be of good use, that there will be a diplomatic solution to the Syrian conflict? The Alawites (Shia Muslims) support Assad. They fear if his regime crumbles, the Sunni majority will wipe them out. The Sunnis want self-determination and an end to Assad’s political corruption and perceived religious corruption. The Druz and Coptic Christian minorities are caught in the middle. This conflict is only the beginning. These ethnic and religious tensions, which were only kept at bay by Assad’s dictatorial policies, are going to be present in that part of the world for decades at least. We should mind our business and end the belief that our involvement, either economically or militarily, will have any positive effect.

Who cares, why does the US have to be involved in every conflict around the globe? Let them fight it out and whoever wins, wins.
Fuck humanitarian aid, we have people going hungry in this country… let’s take care of ourselves first. I’d rather see money spent on on fixing roads over making sure Boobly Boo in some 3rd world country has a bloated stomach full of spoiled rice.
I’ve got no problem with letting them fight it out on their own – unless we can confirm that they have chemical weapons. They could turn those suckers on us and our allies, so we should do what we can to take those out. Once we take out the chemical weapons, then our military obligation ends.
I am fine with humanitarian aid. I’d want the same if it was me. Golden Rule and all that.
Do you honestly believe the Assad regime would use chemical weapons on the U.S.? He is currently fighting for his life, both actually and politically. Using weapons on the American people would be perhaps the most idiotic thing he could do at this point, and Assad is no idiot. He has maintained a relatively stable Alawite regime in a Sunni majority country for three decades. And do Americans even realize who the Syrian rebels are? They are Sunni radicals supported by both the Saudi’s and Al Qaeda. So let’s say we go in, take out Assad’s alleged chemical weapons and then what? We have a government in Syria that is more reactionary than the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt. Now cue the Israeli’s and their Fifth Column in the U.S. calling for regime change again in Syria, since the rebels will be an existential threat to Israel, just like Assad was. This is all a game, the end result of which is perpetual war. If there is an issue with chemical weapons in Syria, let the Turks and the Israelis handle it. They are Syria’s neighbors, and both have the financial capability of affecting change. But we should not spend one American dollar or lose one American life doing the bidding of Likud and Netanyahu.
“Do you honestly believe the Assad regime would use chemical weapons on the U.S.?”
Yes, on us and our allies in the region such as Saudi Arabia. Why do I believe that? Because, as you said, “He is currently fighting for his life, both actually and politically.” And there are other countries over there (like Iran) who would support him doing just that. Take out the chemical weapons, once we know where they are. Then our military obligation ends and they can fight it out on their own.
Saudi Arabia is not an ally. We have this notion that Iran is a state sponsor of terror, but 19 of the 20 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis. Their Wahabi madrassas are the schools of Islamic extremism. But we get oil from them and our political elites, especially the Bushes, are buddies with the Royal Family. If we intervene at all based on Assad’s possession of chemical weapons, it is likely Assad’s regime will be replaced by a worse group of radicals, fudned both by Saudi radicals and Al Qaeda, who really hate the U.S. and Israel much more than the Assad regime. Even still, I don’t believe that Assad has or is using chemical weapons. He is a brute and a murderer, but if he had begun using them, the Turks and the Israelis would have already been involved. It is my belief that these reports are merely propaganda being used to swell support for an American intervention.
Also, a UN envoy to Syria has said that rebels have used chemical weapons on civilian Alawite populations. So even if Assad has chemical weapons, it is just as likely that the rebels do as well, since many of them are ex-military. So then, our choice would be to either support a Middle Eastern strong man who kills his own people, or a group of radical Islamists who are supported by the very group the AUMF targets. This is a lose-lose situation. We should support no one, and again remind the countries that border Syria that if their national sovereignty is threatened by the flood of refugees and spill over violence, they have every right and duty to intervene. But the United States of America is not in any danger of being attacked by the Assad regime. One could even make the argument that the Syrian rebels would be more likely to target us with attacks, given those who support them.
I feel bad that you’re getting downvoted. You’re bringing up excellent points. There is no cut-and-dry approach to interventionism. There’s consequences to everything and very rarely are there times where you know for a fact that intervening is going to be an overall positive force in a given region. Who replaces Assad if/when he is killed is a huge unknown, they could very well be as bad or even worse than him to the Syrian people, and they could very well hate our guts. Given our history I wouldn’t even trust America appointing someone.
If you’re worried about their chemical weapons, the only way we can stop that is by invading Syria and finding/destroying their supply (which isn’t foolproof). Just note that there are plenty of other countries with the same capabilities, and that each one you invade has a trillion-plus dollar price tag. The military-industrial complex needs new wars all the time to justify that kind of spending, so they’ll back you up on it.
Well, the Israeli’s just dropped some bombs on Syria, so, by your logic, I guess it’s not propaganda after all. Still, I hope the Israelis can take this guy out without American intervention.

Republican vs democrat foreign policy: Look at Iran, and look at Iraq.
Iraq: Saved by a Republican President and US Soldiers. It will pay dividends in the region for a Century, unless Obama Screws it up.
Iran: Screwed up by Jimmy Carter, an ignorant democrat president, who has made the whole Mid-East unstable for decades. Carter’s poor management perpetuated the death of Millions of people in the MidEast, who would have been spared w/o horrible decisions by Carter.
You people are Stupid and led by the media. And even Republicans will not explain it to you.
You FAIL at everything, but you are not held to account, so we repeat your ignorance over and over…and not only the parents suffer for your stupidity, but so will our children…
American soldiers died and suffered devastating injuries in Iraq after we went in there on a LIE about the existence of WMD there. So, maybe we should be a little more cautious this time. And, the Iraqis currently hate us. Get your head out of your ass.
The US liberated millions of people in Iraq using data everybody in gov’t was privy to. Clinton had the same data. It’s why he made threats to Heussein (Saddam, not Barack) over and over….,
Eventually, the US showed Iraq freedom based in their peoples’ will….Obama overthrew a mild dictaor, w/ his Sharia Law Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Iraq is a model, and a lesson to Despots that the US will follow up on threats made against it, even if a coward, like Clinton, ran his mouth, but could not perform, except w/ a little girl, his grand-daughter’s age.
Egypt is a complete mess…w/ more coming at the hands of the totally incompetent Obama. It’s Carter Part II
Did it ever occur to you that Saddamn Hussein shipped his chemical weapons to Syria, as satellite pictures showed at the time and continue to show? That are allegedly being used in Syria against it’s own population?
That theory is as old as the hills. I ask you this: Why would Saddam give up the worst threat he could make? None of it makes sense to me…
Hey, Lizenby: You’re a “repoductive health” expert, so you claim. Fox News is broadcasting an hour-long special on Dr. Gosnell tonight. Do YOU have the Courage to watch it???
I challenge you to watch it, and stand up for your beliefs, even when the media is cowering…Can you assure me you will watch, and report on what you see?????
Here’s another ‘gosnell’ in Michigan, protected by the state’s medical board:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/05/02/Michigan-Abortionist-Was-Still-Licensed-After-Leaving-Baby-s-Head-Inside-Mother
Remember: Obama (Lizenby’s candidate) voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act!!!!!
It’s really beginning to be like NAZI Germany denying the Holocaust…
Lizenby cannot wait to demand abortion pills for 15-year-old litle girls (how sick is that?)…but she cowers when asked to simply watch, and comment on, a TV documentary about a pro-abotion practioneer, who was a hero in the abortion movment just a short while ago.
Brutal Abortion baby-killer monsters all over the country, in cahoots w/ Planned Parenthood, are beginning to be the leftwing’s Vietnam, Holocaust and Watergate, all rolled up into one.
I cannot believe the average decent person in America is not going to lash out in Outrage, as this thing oozes out despite the media.
These are Hideous people…How can they sleep at night???
Wait – is this article about abortion? If it is, I missed that part. Why
don’t you act like a person with some critical thinking skills and
stick to the topic?
The Author, and her response, to her Birth Control Stance, is FAR, FAR more interesting to me, than some uneducated, unrealistic ideological diatribe on Syria…
When I’m ASKING, why does she hide????
Chirp, chirp, chirp…..
This author offers her opinions on birth control, to us, the public….We dutifully listen to you invoke your authority…
Can’t we not ask you to do a little research???..and make sure you’ve seen all sides????
Or: Are you like the coward, WORST and disgusting, politicians…who think they can lord over the subjects, but never have to respond to the feedback of the people you preach to????
Are you watching..The Abortion-birth control- special, where you claim dominion over us. It is airing soon.
Are you WATCHING. Will you report and tell us if you still side w/ Dr. Gosnell and his practices??? …I’m WAITING….
I’m anxiously awaiting this author’s report on the FOX-News expose on the Baby-Killing Mill.
Will this mother still send her daughter to the abortionist, as Obama pledged he would, to take care of his grandchild, should his daughter “get in trouble?”
Liberals are jockeys of a modern-day Holocaust.
Own up…or Shut Up.
If you are the EXPERT on how we should teach birth control, PLEASE enlighten us on your Dr. Gosnel, and the mutilation of babies……
Crickets.
How dare you call Graham and McCain ‘neo-con warmongers’? When your boy Obama has already deployed American troops to Jordan, and now to Mali. You failed to mention the 200 to Jordan could surge to 20,000. He did not seek congressional approval for the Mali move. He is spending hundreds of millions of dollars with no congressional authority screwing around in North Africa using the banner of UN and NATO. And they are watching our every move, while the American public remains uninformed and congress is sitting on their hands: http://www.mojahedin.org/pagesEn/detailsNews.aspx?newsid=25491

Shouldn’t you ask the question why military action is being done without congressional approval? And when congress acts for example to stop sending money to the muslim brotherhood in Egypt, Obama ignores it and does it anyway? Something about neo-con warmongers? There was congressional approval to invade Iraq, I guess that was the last time there will be, for under this administration the rules are simply do whatever you wish, with taxpayer’s dollars–sorry–money borrowed from China. Arming our enemies. Abrams tanks, F-16 fighter jets, God only knows what else. Quoted from the Washington Post:
“The Obama administration intends to resume funding for Egypt’s military, despite congressional restrictions and objections from human rights and democracy advocates. For months, the money for Egypt — more than $1.5 billion, with the bulk earmarked for the military —has been withheld amid that country’s crackdown on pro-democracy groups, including several U.S.-based organizations with close ties to political parties in Washington. A law passed by Congress in December forbids funding unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic freedoms and human rights.
But Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is close to announcing plans to bypass those restrictions on national security grounds, according to senior administration officials and others who have been briefed on the deliberations but were not authorized to speak publicly. The administration believes failure to provide the funds would risk worsening already fraying ties with Egypt’s
leaders, most notably the Egyptian military, which still controls the country.”

Hey Lizenby: did you watch the expose on your abortion doctor?
And so many of you libs make a BIG production of Telling your children about ancient Slavery or the Sufferage Movement, to EDCUCATE (or indoctrinate hate in) them…
So I’m sure you got the kiddos in front of the Set to show them the Nasty Face of the Pro-Abortion Movement…Right???
it’s on again tonight.
I doubt we’ll see Lizenby for a while…and I bet you she won’t be talkin’ birth control…
Liberals FLEE like Cowards when their failure manifests…
Israel bombed a weapons shipment headed for Hizbullah on Friday, an
Israeli source confirmed Saturday. The source spoke after American media
outlets reported the strike.
Israel is considering partnering with several Sunni-Muslim Arab states in a U.S.-brokered defense alliance that would be aimed at containing a nuclear Iran, the Sunday Times reported, citing an unnamed Israeli official.
The alliance would see Israel teaming up with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to forge a Middle East “moderate crescent” to “contain” Iran, rather than confront it, according to Russian website RT, which quoted the Times.
According to the report, such an alliance would give Israel access to radar stations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE in exchange for its own early warning radar information and anti-ballistic missile defense systems, the source told the Sunday Times. The report suggested that Jordan would be protected by Israel’s Arrow long-range anti-missile batteries.
“The plan is to start with information-sharing about Iran’s ballistic missiles,” said an Israeli official.
The proposal is reportedly known by participating diplomats as ‘4+1’, and is being brokered by the United States.

Zero credibility, zero moral compass. In the meantime, Israel went ahead and acted, thank God:
WASHINGTON — Confronted with evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, President Obama now finds himself in a geopolitical box, his credibility at stake with frustratingly few good options.
“How can we attack another country unless it’s in self-defense and
with no Security Council resolution?” an unnamed Obama administration
official tells the paper. “If he drops sarin on his own people, what’s
that got to do with us?”
Off-the-Cuff Obama Line Put U.S. in Bind on Syria

Thanks Brigid. Obama’s Screw-ups are becoming too obvious and too numerous to keep ignoring. Too many people being slaughtered, while Obama plays golf and lives like an elitist…

So do GrandTango and this Brigid chick just have conversations with each other about abortion on here or what?

Says who? Your first sentence, your false premise is wrong. Therefore, your supporting quotes are from people who are lying. Therefore, your insights and conclusions are wrong. Your problem is you are gullible. If the Establishment is wrong on any news story, they lose credibility. They become controlled extensions of the propaganda. From where did this false perception originate, this false premise you hold as fact clouds your judgment to the point that you lose credibility.
“(at) a speech at the University of Alabama Gen. Wesley Clark again recounted his conversation with a general at the Pentagon in November 2001.
I said, “Are we still going to invade Iraq?” “Yes, Sir,” he said, “but it’s worse than that.” I said, “How do you mean?” He held up this piece of paper. He said, “I just got this memo today or yesterday from the office of the Secretary of Defense upstairs. It’s a, it’s a five-year plan. We’re going to take down seven countries in five years. We’re going to start with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, then Libya, Somalia, Sudan, we’re going to come back and get Iran in five years. I said, “Is that classified, that paper?” He said, “Yes Sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me, because I want to be able to talk about it.”
This was of course just two months after 9-11, when Americans’ attention was focused on al-Qaeda and preparations for an invasion of Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden lived as a guest of the Taliban.”-Gary Leupp is a Professor of History, and Adjunct Professor of Comparative Religion, at Tufts University and author of numerous works on Japanese history.

<So you see, the war in Syria was planned by DC in 2001. The war in Syria is our government attacking Syria, murdering innocent civilians through mercenaries we pay and arm.
Says who?
In light of the above quotes from Wesley Clark, there was no Arab Spring longing for Democracy. Rather, the people were starving which ignited protests infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood precisely to topple Mubarak. Evidently, the US was backing Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, a Nazi sympathizing band of criminals devoted to the destruction of Israel. Obama supplying the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt with F16 Jets and 220 Abram Tanks, sworn enemies of the USA and our Chief Ally Israel, proves my point.
Sen’s McCain and Graham are warmongers with innocent blood on their hands promoting military escalation in Syria. Hillary has blood on her hands by supplying arms to mercenaries in Syria through Benghazi. Obama has blood on his hands for leading the charge into Libya. Both Bush’s have the blood of 911 and Iraq on their hands.
Get your act together, Amy. You are nothing more than a malcontent sponge soaking up the lies and falsehoods in DC.

Worst of all, Amy, is you completely ignore the Egyptian protests against Morsi and his radical Islamist takeover of Egypt. What’s the matter? NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR did not cover this story, so it did not happen. Ever hear of Wikipedia?
Is this your Arab Spring?
Get your act together, Amy. You are nothing more than a malcontent sponge soaking up the lies and falsehoods in DC. You have no credibility. You are bigoted and hateful to write this garbage.
