US on brink of launching war against Syria based on lies - World Socialist Web SitePresident Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry laid out a case for war against Syria Friday that represented a compendium of bald-faced lies and rank hypocrisy. Their statements made clear that Washington is on the brink of launching yet another unilateral war of military aggression in violation of international law, and in direct opposition to the sentiments of both the people of the Middle East and the American public.
While both Obama and Kerry indicated that no decision has yet been taken in relation to military action against Syria, this, like everything else put out by the administration, is patently false. The US Navy has positioned a fifth warship in the Mediterranean, while Air Force units are being beefed up at the US base in Qatar for a military assault that is planned and imminent. A possible target date is September 5, with a New Moon—the same conditions chosen for launching “shock and awe” against Iraq more than a decade ago.
The entire operation is being prepared in contempt of international law, democratic processes and American public opinion. This was made abundantly clear in the presentation Kerry delivered from the State Department Friday afternoon.
When a government no longer represents its constituents, it should be abolished and replaced.
Something needs to be done about our government. 90+% of Americans don't want to get involved in Syria, yet emperor Obama has decreed he doesn't give a ****.

Now, I think I just ended up on an NSA watchlist.
Obama still does represent his constituents, and will continue to do so until his second four-year term expires.
I don't particularly care whether or not the American public is in favor of intervention in Syria or not. Assad is slaughtering his own people, and appears to be using chemical weapons to do so; and even without that fact, we still have diplomatic interests which can be advanced by a secular rebel victory. If Americans are too ignorant or selfish to care, that's nobody's problem but their own.

O M G. Certainly you don't think we're dealing with secularists over there. That's like believing that the Muslim Brotherhood would be an improvement over what Egypt had before.
Did you happen to catch the video of a Syrian rebel taking a bite out of the heart of a Syrian soldier whom he had killed? That's what we are supporting. Savages.

A single rebel is not representative of the entire opposition movement. The FSA remains the single largest opposition force and deploys the most battalions in the field. When matched with other non-Islamist battalions they still outnumber Islamist formations. Lack of involvement continues to empower the Islamist's and weaken the FSA.

It tells you what type of people you're dealing with, that even one of them is willing to do this.

The same could be said of Americans.
Frankly, I don't know of any Americans who are willing to cut a dead man's heart out and eat it, unless they are criminally insane.

Bottom line, it's not a threat to our national security, we have virtually NO support...yet he will do it anyway. Of course he says He's going to seek congressional approval. :roll:

Heya TGND.It was already decided.....it's just a matter of when he wants to do the drive by. But Obama decided back when he said it.
