I ask myself the same question.....

[Barbella]

Syria’s foreign minister accused Barack Obama of backing terrorists as the White House ramped-up its efforts to make the case for military strikes to punish President Bashar Assad's regime for the alleged use of chemical weapons.
"We are asking ourselves how Obama can ... support those who in their time blew up the World Trade Center in New York,'' Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said during a press conference with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.
Sunni Muslim extremists allied with al Qaeda are among the rebels fighting to overthrow Assad, a member of the Alawite sect, a Shiite offshoot.
Lavrov said there was enough evidence to show that the rebels fighting Assad have chemical weapons themselves, raising questions about who was behind the gas attack on August 21.

...I never ask myself that question because it is irrelevant and posed by a despot trying to save his own a$$ - the only question I ask is why are we inserting ourselves in a CIVIL F'IN WAR??? This is NONE of our business and we need to keep OUT!

And now there is this. Methinks Obama is gonna be F'd. It's gonna be fun watching his administration collapse. It's amazing and it has to be Divine Retribution. On the day before the evening of his speech this comes out.

Although the investigation is ongoing, this is gonna put a kink in the dictator's plans.


UN Accuses Syrian Rebels of Chemical Weapons Use....

“According to the testimonies we have gathered, the rebels have used chemical weapons, making use of sarin gas,” del Ponte, a former war crimes prosecutor, said in an interview with Swiss radio late on Sunday.

We still have to deepen our investigation, verify and confirm (the findings) through new witness testimony, but according to what we have established so far, it is at the moment opponents of the regime who are using sarin gas,” she added.
She stressed that the UN commission of inquiry on Syria, which she is a part of, had far from finished its investigation.

There seems to be no plan for an endgame, no measurable objective to obtained. What it looks like is we painted ourselves into a corner with our "red line" rhetoric, and now we're hell-bent on doing something to save face, and we'll deal with the consequences later. This looks like something mismanaged from the outset.

...well, I don;t think I could commit a Nation to war because I made a stupid remark and wanted to "save-face" - this is sickening....

You're likely just a regular Joe like me. Politicians are, generally speaking, ego-centric, so saving face is of prime importance to them. They think differently from most of us, hence the madness we are on the threshold of.

...thanks Barb - I feel I can always comment to you without worry of an off-the cuff reply.

...in-terms of Syria, Libya and Iraq - I would never want to send any of my boys over there to fight - they pose(d) no threat the the US or our freedoms. Using that as a guide, it is easy for me to be consistent against Obama's decision - this should not be a partisan issue...

War should only be fought in self defense....and for the life of me, I can't see where Syria is a threat to our national security, no matter WHAT Obama is trying to sell me here....
