leader. Where do we get off with that outrage since our nation attempted a coup in Venezuela and to assassinate their leader? Not one nation will stand up and call this government on the manufactured outrage which is a blatant attempt to build a justification for another war?

1. It has been my opinion for a long time
that BushCO didn't go to Iraq for oil, but for an election. And it worked.

All this talk of Syria is truly frightening.

Here comes the draft...

All you Canadians out there better get ready for a flood of young American men... lock your doors and mind your womenfolk :P

2. What about the other coups?!
The right is salivating at the idea of attacking Syria. They are a terrorist-supporting nation. The left are ready to blame Israel as the motivating factor, despite Israel not needing one more unstable government at its borders.

The US is primed and ready, this misAdminstration has it all planned out, get the right's support....TERROR. Get the left to blame someone else...ISRAEL! They (this misAdminstration) has it all planned out.

Who gives a shit that the US planted Saddam in his "throne." Who cares that the US has caused multiple governments to collapse? Who cares that the US supplied the Taliban? Who cares that the US has destabilized governments to the peril of surrounding nations?

No, no one cares that it was the US, as long as there is some else to blame, even better if the US has a willing accomplice.

8. Too bad Israel can't say loudly: ATTACKING SYRIA is INSANE
I wonder why not ? It's not like their opinions don't have any weight around Washington.

A willing accomplice to mass murder is of course a mass murderer.

5. First question, how do we really know the Syria is responsible?
After all, Syria has been on the PNAC radar for a long time, and Bushco is salivating to turn this into a wider Mid East war. Frankly, until I see some iron-clad proof, I'm going to think the worst, that this is just another piece of subterfuge by Bushco in order to jump into Syria.

7. My sentiments exactly. Especially since the "proof" is that Syria had
to be involved because they were there.

6. We kill a village of 70 last week, but we're the MORAL authority?!
The arrogance, the self-indulgent hubris of this administration.

How they can complain about anyone killing anyone in the mideast on moral grounds is ludricrous. Or, as Mike Tyson would say, ludaquisp.
