Obama wouldn't know his ass from how to throw a grenade.

Sorry, oldie but goody. Think he could get a grenade out of the foxhole?

NY Times: Putin Incensed by Obama's 'Bored Kid' Remark

I got $50 on Putin whipping Barry's azz. More like the bully in the back of the classroom that the wimpy ass academic is scared to death of.

BBC News - British MPs vote on intervention in Syria

The House of Commons rejected a Labour amendment that would require more evidence/time before joining military strikes. They are now voting on the government's motion to authorize strikes.

Update: Gov't motion defeated by 13 votes.

Global leadership is going kaput. Doesn't bode well for bigger problems, e.g., if Iran starts acting up. #Appeasement

And yet Obama was kissing Mdevev's rear about the missile system. Obama is a complete wimp. He wouldn't talk down to Putin if he was anywhere near him.

Its not appeasement. It is minding our own business and focusing on Americans, at least it should be. I commend the British for show what democracy really should look like.

Yeah it's democracy that's all. We just don't want to get involved. We may be wrong, we may be right but the vote speaks for itself. I have to say I'm not David Cameron's biggest fan (to put it nicely) but it's refreshing that he has recognized the vote and has stated that he will act accordingly meaning no military involvement from the UK.

Parliament did the right thing. Hopefully we'll take your cue and refuse to participate in another 'moral obligation' excursion into the Middle East.

They did the right thing

I'm surprised the vote was so close. I'd love to see a vote here in US from both the senate and congress

Republicans would seek to add to any authorization an amendment to repeal Obamacare....

Is what happens in Iran and Saudi Arabia any of our business?

I can't believe I'm sounding like a freakin' neocon, but at some point you've got to look at on going atrocities, in a strategically important region, and say, "Hey, maybe this is our concern."

Nope.

 

[lawgator1]

We are in a tough position. While I see no immediate or direct threat to US interests, the fact is that if Asad is allowed to do this its going to get worse and it's a matter of time until it becomes extremely destabilizing to the region, on the whole.

I have mideast war fatigue, too. But I also get that the military views this as worrisome.

I don't know what the right answer is.

Here's a question, what is VN's view on trading getting rid of Barrycare for letting him strike Syria?

It will become our business as soon as Iranian and Saudi bombers are over the Atlantic.

And this nonsense of strategic importance is why we're despised throughout the Middle East. We've meddled in the affairs of that region for decades, supporting dictators and war profiteers. They want nothing to do with the American people or rotten American culture. Naturally, the neocons run around talking about how we're going to free everyone. They just want American-style freedom, right? Bulls**t.

It's time to close-up shop and leave that part of the world.

As long as he's allowed to set off one firecracker on a remote beach head, I'm all for it. We can all say we "got 'em" and throw a ticker tape parade on 6th Avenue in Manhattan.

See a pattern? Past 2 days

@JimAcostaCNN: CNN has learned a cabinet-level "Principals Committee" meeting was held at the WH this evening on Syria. No POTUS.

And this

@AprilDRyan: At last night's WH #mlkdream50 reception, the Obama's met with Trayvon Martin's family. It is believed to be their first meeting.

Tonight this

@AmbassadorRice: Sec. Kerry, Sec. Hagel, Dir. Clapper and I held a call earlier tonight with members of Congress to consult on the situation in #Syria

And this

@MagicJohnson: There was great information and strategy that was laid out in the meeting today at the White House with Pres. Obama!

Does he even want to be potus?

This is almost as dumb as your previous post. I'm starting to think you don't know jack about anything.

Awesome - add UN Ambassador Powers (who is rumored to be the architect of the redline comment) missed the UN Security Council emergency meeting on Syria because she was on vacation after a grueling 19 days on the job...

In the words of Walter Sobchak - "F'n amateurs".
