The Obama Administration quickly and unsurprisingly endorsed Israeli attacks on Syria over the weekend, but has so far left open the question of exactly what will happen now, adding to speculation that they will be pulled headlong into a war with Syria.
That certainly seems to suit the regular hawkish Congressmen just fine, with Sen. John McCain (R – AZ) predicting that the Israeli attacks could “force” Obama to act decisively against Syria and for the rebels.
The drive toward US intervention in Syria has been getting into full gear for weeks now, with the administration transitioning toward a “belief” in chemical weapons use despite no apparent additional evidence, and spending last week sending out test balloons about arming the rebels and indeed about launching attacks of their own inside the country.
It is telling, then, that Thursday’s allegations of a “massacre” by the rebels, one of countless such claims that usually come and go without much comment, is suddenly gaining currency in the White House. Days after it happened, they are now officially “horrified” by the reports and vowing to hold people responsible. Polls have consistently showed overwhelming US opposition to attacking Syria, meaning that the administration has an uphill battle in selling the conflict.
Israel's friends here want Uncle Sam to attack Syria so it's gonna happen. What israel's friends want, they get. And Iran will be next. Israel's interests first; Americans be damned.
This morning on CBC Radio One there was a report that a war crimes investigator (not sure who he is working for) has evidence that the Syrian rebels have used Sarin gas, but so far has found none to implicate the Syrian government.
You can be sure this report will be ignored by the US propaganda machine.
But Hey! Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
They're already there – this is a 'shadow' war. Just as they're already in Venezuela – in the shadows stirring up trouble, inciting, sabotaging, instigating. I don't think they necessarily want the rebels to win, they just want to prolong the conflict and weaken all sides, exhaust them. Peace would not be profitable because then Americans might start longing for a 'peace dividend'. The American economy might be struggling but the Pentagon economy is soaring.
"The American economy might be struggling but the Pentagon economy is soaring"
It's all that matters…to the point where one wonders – "Does the country actually have a civilian leadership anymore?"

LIGHT
Really? Paid actor Obama after taking over $2 billion in donations from the corporate rich, he really makes his own decisions?
I don't care by whom it's done, just do it
And get it over with, too many innocent
People have died and dying so some body
Do something, we all know what the planes
Are for Syria and the killing would not stop
Tell it's complete, so get it over with like right
Now.
And I can see the dumb goy cattle Americanus, lining up for miles to be the next to fight and die for the Chosen Ones in Israel
Obama disappoints millions on the Left by turning out to be a spineless brown-skinned neocon in progressive clothing. Almost as bad as Bush Jr, except the MSM would have never let Bush get away with what this shill and Hollywood phony has done. His domestic agenda seems to only be gun control and allowing gay marriage; two wedge issues that don't affect the majority of Americans one jot.
A terminal POS this guy has turned out to be.
