Rumor mill
I have a friend from my Army days who's still serving. He's currently in Landstuhl Germany. They're currently undergoing a lot of heavy prep work and the rumors are that it's in advance of a near future invasion of Syria.

Can this group be that stupid?

What the hell am I asking, of course they are.

1. Landstuhl is beautiful... o/t, I know
I really, really hope they aren't that stupid, but at this point it wouldn't surprise me... :(

2. On the bright side...
...it would be much better for the Earth's environment if our civilization collapsed sooner rather than later. Looks like BushCo is doing it's part to make this happen ASAP.

4. Well, it does sound as if they've been floating a Syria invasion today.
Testing the waters?

U.S. says Syria aids Iraqi-bound jihadists

This article was from the Moonie Times, and again, it seems as if the mouthpiece for the Bush Administration is saying "If you're not with us, yer agin' us!

5. Crap, back in my days of debating with the other side
they always claimed the WMD were shipped to Syria. That's all they need to say to justify another one, huh?

9. Right wingers are still saying that
I can't debate them these days without one of them bringing it up about a thousand times.

6. Yes they can. I wonder what congress will do. Let's see,
a nice little terrorist attack, al Qada is behind it with the help of the Syrans. Just move the troops one step to the left. End of war. Don't forget, Bush still has the authority to go after any country or group that harbors al Qada. That's why he was trying to tie Sadam to al Qada.

8. Syria in late Nov - Iran in the spring - and we have Med to India land!
About time we grew the size of our colonies.

Of course we will convert those folks - it is our duty from God.
