  1. Where’s Green Helmet Guy when we need him!!!?
    The incompetence, arrogance and subterfuge of the Obama Administration is truly astounding, it’s hard to believe these people are in charge of a former superpower.

  2. The Foulness is interested only in Its very limited view of the world, and that includes playing to the low-information voter. Of course even the low-information voter may notice when Americans start being killed. That said, the Foulness is plain stupid.

  3. Israel stated today the US attacks would start on Sat. – when the UN investigators have left and before they file findings on WHO gassed the civilians, and of course before necessary congressional approval.
    The Nobel peace prize winner will send his love bombs on his peace attack of Syrians.
    arghh, what an evil little puppet this lovechild is.

  4. I do not understand why Harper is even entertaining the thought of contributing any military assets.
    Regardless which side is supported, the winner will have no use for the west anyhow.
    The best we can do is just offer humanitarian assistance. But then again to what avail? Preparing for the next slaughter?
    What a mess.

  5. It is only baffling if you assume that Obama and Susan Rice know what they are doing. Maybe he could sick the IRS on Bashir?

  6. Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a press in the US that would hold Obama to account? Imagine…

  7. Telegraphing his intentions? It should be ok. I mean, Babe Ruth used to point to where he was gonna hit the ball and score a homerun. And Billy Jack used to tell the bad guys which side of their heads he was going to kick them on. So it stands to reason that this should work out for him. Right?

  8. Clearly these top officers aren’t as smart as Me, Kate and most commenters here.
    And again, can we PLEASE stop calling Obama incompetent!

  9. Telegraphing your war plans in advance, seems like a sure way to produce quagmire.
    But then maybe that is the objective…the longer that conflict is drawn out, the more arms that are sold.
    So who cares if it violates every sound tenet of battlefield procedure…to Syria and beyond! FORWARD!
    More cruise missiles are produced, and Putin snubs ‘Obambi’s kid remark’ by selling more anti-missile systems and a public ‘spanking’ of Assad is delivered.
    The Syrian population can ‘go fish’ in the Mediterranean.
    Another war is bullish for commodities according to Jim Rogers…

  10. And again, can we PLEASE stop calling Obama incompetent!
    Uh no…he’s incompetent, so we call him an incompetent.

  11. Yeah well, cruise missiles have only changed the situation slightly from earlier wars.
    While they do not put aircrews in harms way and are extremely accurate….they have a real big flaw…THEY CAN BE SHOT DOWN.
    Air launched cruise missiles were a big factor in toppling the
    USSR. Unlike ICBMs they can be shot down….it requires dense AA belts and fighters with look-down/shoot down radar and missiles….which made the USSRs massive air fleet obsolete….not obsolescent.
    Assad has few worthwhile targets, in a very small, restricted area….making defense feasible….especially, now, knowing the attack vector…..from USN assets in the Med…..
    Besides evacuating personnel and equipement…it is rumoured Assad has placed political prisoners in the anticipated targets.
    Yeah, Putin is right….”a monkey with a hand grenade…”

  12. The trial balloons are getting thick on the ground in DC. Not a one of ’em floated. so far.

  13. These top officers are assuming Obama meant to strike Syria at all.
    I think Obama is getting news about his multiple scandals replaced by this Syria strike nonsense on the cheap.
    That said, imagine you’ve been fighting a brutal civil war against headchoppers who eat your soldier’s livers for a couple of years and Obama says he’s going to throw a handful of cruise missiles your way.

  14. Man of man.Start evacuating all Christians and troops out of the area,then arm the Tomohawks with tacticle nukes,aimed at Syria,Lebanon,Saudi,Iraq,Palis,AND Iran.Then close all immigration,and let the barbarians fight it out themselves.So what if Putin fills the hole. We have enough oil to survive quite well on our own. And so do the Yanks,as soon as they revolt and ditch the leftards.Get it done,and maybe our grandkids could see a little bit of peace and security.Keep your powder dry.They(the religions of peace) started this sh1t 1400 years ago,time for us to start the end of them.And for all you leftards and so called libbertarians out there,wiping out hordes of sub human barbarians who follow a murdering pedophile,it’s the place to start.
    Rant over.

  15. “And again, can we PLEASE stop calling Obama incompetent!”
    Actually incompeteInt is giving Obama way too much credit.

  16. Just let them kill each other. Why do we even want to get involved with Cannibals or killers. There is no good side here.
    Nothing redeeming. Even the civilians are not innocent.
    all for people who would slit out throats, at the first chance.

  17. I agree. Stay out. There’s no upside.
    What possible interest does the free world have in a bunch of savages killing a bunch of other savages?
    Oh, I forgot. The Muslim Brotherhood is a peaceful organization, according to Obama.

  18. Ok. How about about dumb as a bag of Haliburton hammers. Better.
    Even if their plan is all this transformational poop they are pretty incompetent -oops there is that word again – in their efforts.

  19. The quote below is from a Doug Hagmann column once again, http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/57538 . He has been right on the money regarding the Middle East since at least last year.
    “Do you think that telegraphing our target list and stating that strikes will be brief and limited is by the incompetence of the Obama regime, or by design? It’s by design,” stated my source,”
    Read it and pray he’s wrong.

  20. Are you suggesting that this administration put politicking before global security?
    And do you think Obama jbiws that he can’t run for a 3rd term?

  21. A shoot to miss policy?
    Whereby Obama can appear tough, and show video of the Al Quaeda Air Force straifing and bombing targets. There will be no one there, which will ease his liberal conscience.
    Whatever, this guy has earned disrespect of America from the rest of the world.

  22. Apparently, the UN investigation will only pronounce upon whether the victims were gassed, not WHO did it.
    I suspect Saudis keeping the UN mum.
    BTW I liked Harper’s pronouncement: This is serious, and cannot be allowed to go down the memory hole, but the war in Syria is so sectarian, there cannot be a sensible taking of sides; therefore Canada will not be involved.

  23. Thank you Markon.
    All punters above including LAS please read.
    Telegraphing intentions is by DESIGN not incompetence.
    Obama is perhaps the most successful president in modern times.
    Successful in terms of achieving his evil goals.
    He’s bamboozled everyone including some of the resident SDA geniuses who keep faltering themselves by calling him incompetent.
    I’m pissed I’m not a psychopath. We’re I, I could really dig this evil genius.

  24. Saudi and other nasty Sunni proxies fighting nasty Iranian proxies with Russian support – what could be better? What possible realistic end game that the US is capable of could possibly leave them better off than this?
    Could it be that the Russians have tipped the scales and Obama would rather re-balance the conflict to maximize the killing all around or does he for some perverse reason take sides with the Sunnis (al Qaeda, et al) as he did in Libya?
    So many questions and so little honesty from the Commander in Chief!

  25. MND, U tryin to out dumb Lassy or north of 90???
    there is no reason for obumbles to let the plan slip, so if it his design it just shows his incompete, but I suspect it may be some one like V Jarret, who is trying to sabatoge the whole damn thing because obumbles ain’t listening to them. Obumbles may have just gone rouge.

  26. The Christian population in Syria realizes that, no matter how nasty Assad is perceived, he at least can keep the Islamic supremacists at bay.
    Syrian Christians have already seen what happened in Egypt, where the Brotherhood looked the other way while dozens of Christian churches were torched.
    Obama will have to wear what happened in Egypt and Libya.
    Do you figure he’ll go for the Islamic supremacists leading the way in Syria?
    So far, he’s shown he’s pretty naive about the whole situation and backing the rebels against the ‘oppressors’ in a global social justice play can only backfire.
    The Obama administration is already in a no-win position and, if innocents are killed when Tomahawks are fired into Syria, then the entire Muslim world turns against the US.
    Can you say idiot?

  27. “…can we PLEASE stop calling Obama incompetent.”
    Good point. We wouldn’t want something as simple as using the wrong word to send our resident SDA bedwetters into their leg-slapping “what-a-hick” modes.
    It’s incontinent: INCONTINENT

  28. Obumbles is going to aim a couple of rockets at empty fields and wants Assad to know it’s all just a publicity stunt. (ie, Assad is supposed to siddown, shaddup, and not retaliate against President Fluffball’s pseudo-“shot across the bow”.)
    President Fluffball forgets that Assad ALSO has to prove to HIS peeps that he’s a tough-guy ass-kicker. So Assad WILL retaliate.
    And things will escalate. Happy-happy joy-joy.
    = = = = =
    HOORAY!! for the 51% of Americans who voted to re-elect this clown (though I suppose some of the voters were, uh, “raised from the dead” — and no ID required, ’cause we wouldn’t want to infringe the rights of the “dead community” to vote for the Democrat-Progressive of their choice.)
    Do you Leftards like your hopey-changeyness yet?
