Yes. He has his balls in a sling. Hopefully, his pride, for once, will not get in his way of common sense.

Obama has common sense? How? Where? When has he used it? If he sends even one American to Syria, he should be impeached. Obama is the No. One domestic enemy of the US!

Well, I guess that it has all been decided then. The paper of record has spoken. The domestic battle space is starting to be properly prepared so to speak...

Bomb Syria, Even if It Is Illegal

EVANSTON, Ill. — THE latest atrocities in the Syrian civil war, which has killed more than 100,000 people, demand an urgent response to deter further massacres and to punish President Bashar al-Assad. But there is widespread confusion over the legal basis for the use of force in these terrible circumstances. As a legal matter, the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons does not automatically justify armed intervention by the United States.

But hay, let's bomb them anyway.

I cried when Bush announced we were at war with Iraq. Feeling the same way now, desperately hoping we do not repeat that....

No. Because I do not believe in humanitarian missions that need to be shouldered mainly by us.

Can we for once try a Swiss-style foreign policy?

On a semi-related topic, I took this challenge to find Damascus and only missed by 37 miles. That's better than 93% of people. So, I'm declaring myself superior to all of you:

How strong is the evidence of the chemical weapons. Is this the usual propaganda and he-said-she-said.
Truth is always the first casualty. Iraq was supposed to have weapons of mass destruction. Did Bush get his geography horribly wrong?

239 miles off -- ouch. Good thing I'm not a 19-year-old on some army base with my finger on the Bomb Syria mouse.
