Please everyone call your senators and congressmen. Mention the threat to the national security posed by intervening in Syria's civil war.

we have to be (ALL OF US) willing to accept that aiding the rebel factions in any way will help to remove Assad from power, and could, therefore, put in it's place a Government that doesn't much like us all that much.

It would probably be productive to acknowledge that amongst ourselves BEFORE removing that government from power. I'm not saying that we can't handle it after the fact through diplomatic measures, but it seems a wise thing to be aware of nonetheless.

Just in case.

With drones being used and children getting killed, who could blame them. We have created this monster. We butt into everyone's else's business. Yes, sad to see gassed children, and I feel for those people. I don't want us going to war with Syria. We only create more enemies.

And after we help them topple Assad, we will walk away, giving them their own country. Complete with tanks, aircraft, and ships. Right on the border of NATO. And they can conduct terrorist training camps with impunity...because WE GAVE THEM THEIR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY!!!

Do people not see how utterly stupid this is?

Our own bees wax. This is a nasty civil war, and at most, we should bring the poison attack to the vote of the UN Security Council AFTER we establish who did this in a factual fashion, not snake oil slam dunk fashion. Frig the Red Line comment of Mr. O, this is more important than FACE. We must save the world's ass.

9. America created Bin laden

Looking into the crowd reminds me of a reading about the population of the Middle East many countries now have demographics that is an average age below thirty. A very, very young population pictured, the older is few to not openly seen. They are a scared people, but why not when our news if filled with aged, political baby boomer secret Metadata ers, one percent profiling profiteers claiming, to send, about two hundred cruise missile at Syria.

Thinking about Bin Laden and how they worship that very person America groomed, honed, educated, and trained in military tactics for at least a decade of brute fighting against the Russians way back secretly behind the scenes by the secret CIA. American operatives supplying, supporting Bin Laden in his Jihad as Mujahedeen fighting the Russians. Then Bin laden turned on America, or that was the plan of his all along.

This period scales smoothly and parallel to Americas election of Ronald Reagan for almost decade. Consider Herbert Walker Bush in serious political positions for three decades. Plus, Bush served only one year as the CIA director, but from nineteen eighty seven on Republican appointed directors dominated the CIA. Good reason for Cheney to be able to shuttle around with arrogance and power we could not comprehend.

A daring and interesting contrast in mainstream media corruption whereas years of low end lock up series on MSNBC is telecast showing the frightening jail system America has. Intimidation that learns forward to the future showing the hoodlums, scorn, dishonesty luring America into false positives, showing nothing of the way, that other side our secret society really works. Basically, they, the media are the key players in it. The only way to understand that part of American society, the shadow government the one percent profiteers is when that person so called as a traitor appears. The Manning or Snowden has to with intention wreck their lives to help America understand something is wrong.

The missile minded, the drone deciders of our government selecting our so called enemy is actually the trajectory of the American secret one percent banking government. America only needs to think see and feel how our own citizen is affected by deception in land title transfers that scammed in turning our home market seriously dysfunctional boogied into a secret trillion dollar derivative market that you and me have to pay for. Absolutely furious to thank about before tossing booms at Syria.

There are very few commenters in the major three radio cable and satellite that many here agree with including me. Think about the push back America got from Bin Laden, the Three Towers gone, banking skewed for some unknowns. Or even supporting Saddam Hussein then hanging him isn’t something a thoughtful jihad would do. Better to destroy something like the United Nations building at prime time would a better Jihad. Or, the American record to understand these people is a gang game mentality. The argument is difficult with belief that American would never have a loaded inside agenda of corrupted political money to seal the American industrial complex into infinite war profiteering society. But it does...
