Good.All we have to do is take a look at Libya and see what has happened when we intervened in that country.No boots on the ground their huh?:2wave:
<Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of the most outspoken opponents of military action in Syria, wouldn’t rule out the possibility Tuesday of launching a standing filibuster over the issue in the Senate. >
<When it comes to Syria, Paul said he believes the best hope for defeating a resolution to authorize military action will come in the House. He reiterated his view that an attack on Syria would create more turbulence and danger in the region, and may not even disable the Syrian government’s ability to launch chemical attacks. >
Rand Paul: Filibuster a possibility on Syria vote
Good for Rand. I don't agree with him on all things, but I'm glad he's sticking up for peace and non-intervention. This whole thing is a sham to coverup the NSA scandal, and innocent people will die because of corrupt politicians. Enough war, enough bombing, it only ever makes things worse.

Rand Paul: Filibuster a possibility on Syria vote
:lamoThe participants on this board know more about the actual chemical weapon use than Congress will know after the relevant info is obfuscated and massaged for their consumption.
I just don't think the Dems have the votes to pull it off.
Hopefully Rand Paul will not have to resort to a filibusterer. Maybe our elected officials will do the right thing by vetoing any action in Syria.
How could filibuster be a consideration in a matter of life and death. This is about determining who used chemical weapons. The participants on this board know more about the actual chemical weapon use than Congress will know after the relevant info is obfuscated and massaged for their consumption. Shameful! This should be an issue of logical discussion and human ideals.
Maybe not,but NEVER discount the stupid party from saving the day and rescuing Al Quaeda.

I'm not hopeful. Kerry and especially Hagel,who to me appears to have had a liquid lunch,were unimpressive in their arguments,bordering on being bellicose. Still,the senate is a "club"and Kerry and Hagel are former members. You also have the fact that Dems have shown 0 independence of thought when it comes to supporting Obama,to an almost North Korean level. Add in the old,tired GOp warhorses and I fear it passes. Hope I am wrong.

Kerry told them straight to their face that it doesn't matter what they vote for, the administration will do what it wants.
They are being used for political cover if they vote yes, and a punching bag if they vote no.
Congress should have figured that out already, but its a shame that they are too focused on inter-party fighting to see what they've been turned into. The executive determined long before this action that Congress can be circumvented and they will not fight it.
