Secretary of State John Kerry, and then Obama not long after he finished, publicly hyped their “common sense” case for attacking Syria, insisting they have an unassailable case for attack that no one (except virtually the whole rest of the world) could disagree with.
But what’s the strategy? That’s where it gets tricky, as the administration lays out a plan of attack that seems incredibly vague at best and in many ways absurdly naive.
Officials are content to start lobbing missiles into Syria seemingly just for the heck of it, underscoring that they aren’t planning to accomplish anything on the ground with their strikes except for some sort of explosive-based rebuke of President Assad.
Pentagon officers have been unusually public in faulting the scheme as well, suggesting that even those “in the know” don’t like what they’re seeing of this war planning, and prompting officials to condemn the comments as “deeply unhelpful” as they’re trying to sell the war to the American public.
Analysts see this as a bad situation that could quickly get much, much worse, as just because President Obama doesn’t have any plans to do any more after the first salvo doesn’t mean the US can quickly enter and exit the protracted civil war without a major risk of retaliation, and of getting sucked into the conflict outright.
The White House is as mad as NERO's court.
No one is willing to lift a finger to stop this mad rush to war – just as everyone stood by and let Nero burn Rome in ancient times..
What is happening now is that the flames are being lit that will ultimately engulf America itself.
It used to be, we were told in grade school, that the leaders of our country were the best and the brightest. Looks like the "best and the brightest" found something else to do with their talents and left us with a bunch of idiots and Napoleon wannabes. There seems to be an inordinate amount of stupid "leading" our country.
I think that whether they get us involved in another stupid war, or not, that we start removing all of them from office, elected and appointed…ALL.
As there is a movement here to "Take Back Vermont" from the socialit-inspired carpetbaggers it's time for a nationwide movement to "Take Back America" from the phenomenally stupid people who are more interested in their private little agendas that are ruining what was a great country and elect those who genuinely have the interests of the citizens at heart. It will be a long, messy process but is attainable. Everyone just needs to admit that their elected Rep needs to go, too.
There may be a considered and coordinated plan to eliminate the chemical threat to Israel, which calls for a false flag operation.
Is the USA prepared to do anything but attack another "enemy"? It does nothing to help the health, clean environment,housing, education, transport, even "security" of its own population, which it does not trust enough to let have any information on its actions. The Obama régime (why dignfy US régimes as "administrations" with the broken electoral system putting them in power?) pretends these attacks "protect" civilians in the victim State and in the US Homeland, but are conditions improving for any of them? If only the government would put in place some genuine priorities for the real humans inhabiting this planet.
