it is, i didn't make it up though. one of my friends who is now a merc but was a US soldier told me that's what they call 'em.
exactly, that's what i'm getting at. iraq was 'wrong' even though we had unverified intel (just like now) that they had WMDs, and there were other reasons such as iraq violating UN resolutions imposed on them after desert storm, and intel that they were harboring terrorists (which seems to be true). btw saddam did for a fact use chemical weapons on his own people even though that wasn't a case for war. Contrast that to syria which has literally nothing to do with us. yet there's ricter making excuses.
We should not get involved for business reasons, I don't think they're there, unless there are repercussions to the area that full-time, professional analysts are factoring in. No, I think this intervention, should it occur, will be mostly on the morality of using WMDs.
This president is untouchable, and essentially unaccountable for his actions. He can't be impeached and he knows it. Who knows what the NSA and other agencies have on the republicans (and dems)? Remember filegate? And their biggest fear of holding the prez accountable...RACISM! Last but not least, they fear losing their comfortable position in the status quo. We're going to help them overcome that last fear in the next election, though...by voting their sorry asses out (those up).
Our military exists for OUR defense, there were reasons to believe iraq was a threat to our nation. there is no such threat from syria. And if we thought saddam had wmds and knew he used them before, wouldn't taking him out be the 'moral' course of action, according to you? obama can't attack syria without (once again) proving himself to be a hypocrite.
Normally I would agree, but I think the media has done a pretty good job of sweeping most of those under the rug.
There were better reasons to believe Iraq was not a threat, but they were ignored. Perhaps we'll listen to the experts this time.
1 Tomahawk Cruise Missile=1.45 million dollars. Calculate how many were fired and send Obama the bill. If Obama wants to help his Moslem "bros", he should pay .
