It's hard to trust our government to tell the truth when they've been caught out in so many lies over the last decade. If Obama really wants to go after syria, present the facts and be prepared for a lot of skepticism and scrutiny.
I just have this strong recollection of him campaigning hard on being against a pointless war... and now it seems like the same old song and dance all over again.Comment

We're not sending large ground units into Syria like we did in Iraq and The Afghan War. And we failed, or at least fucked ourselves in Afghanistan to an extent because we didn't deploy enough there early on because we were saving up for Iraq. Silly, simpleton cartoon...Comment

of course ... but that doesn't mean you can't laugh at a joke

New York Times Deletes This Paragraph In Which White House Says AIPAC Is Key To War
3 Sep
This was in the New York Times last night:
Administration officials said the influential pro-Israel lobby group Aipac was already at work pressing for military action against the government of Mr. Assad, fearing that if Syria escapes American retribution for its use of chemical weapons, Iran might be emboldened in the future to attack Israel. In the House, the majority leader, Eric Cantor of Virginia, the only Jewish Republican in Congress, has long worked to challenge Democrats’ traditional base among Jews.
One administration official, who, like others, declined to be identified discussing White House strategy, called Aipac “the 800-pound gorilla in the room,” and said its allies in Congress had to be saying, “If the White House is not capable of enforcing this red line” against the catastrophic use of chemical weapons, “we’re in trouble.”
It was originally in this story. Now it’s gone. Its only remnant is in the Times search engine. If you put in “gorilla,” it points you to this story. But the gorilla ain’t there.
Obviously the White House and/or AIPAC did not want to be caught saying that the reason we are attacking Syria is to show AIPAC, the “800 pound gorilla,” that we are serious about the war the lobby really craves: Iran.
But there it is. Or was.
AIPAC censorship even applies to the Times. Only in America (not Israel, where AIPAC’s power does not extend to Haaretz).
...and before anybody wants to call this "anti-semitic" to accuse AIPAC of censoring the NY Times, you should probably know a guy named Rosenberg wrote this.....Eat Us And Smile

McCain and Miss Lindsey never met a war they didn't like. And Cantor probably told Boner if he didn't back this one, he would take the mini-bar out of his desk.
