Re: The 4th Global War on Terror - Deja vu all over again!
It's really rather charming, your willingness to give two of the world's worst thugs the benefit of the doubt. Jimmy has bought himself some time here, hoping we'll forget his high tone rhetoric about punishing Assad, as we engage in endless negotiations about the nature of your precious "verification" (how many, who, when, where, etc). After enough time has passed, we'll turn our attention to the latest George Zimmerman "scandal" and Assad will still have WMD. Perhaps a diminished stockpile. But he'll still have them. At some point he'll declare the weapons inspectors have exceeded their mandate (the Russians will agree) and order them out of the country. And the tower of jello in the WH will do. . .nothing.
It was a year ago today he began lying about what happened at Benghazi--and he hasn't stopped yet. You should be so proud.
As usual I'm more than a bit bemused out of my knuckledragger friends. I think I can sum up conservatism's position as such: "we don't know what to do, we just know whatever Obama does is wrong".Americans want solutions not whining, and recall the feeling you had going into election day last year, then the feeling you had when the results started rolling in...
There's a reason why conservatives have the popularity of sh ! t and the trust level of used car salesmen. Simply put the ideology has lost its brain and its balls, so I'm not sure what good it is. However, to the subject at hand:
Obama said he wanted to punish Assad so that would never use chemical weapons again. This proposal put forth takes away his chemical weapons from his hands and has them destroyed via a UN resolution supported by the international community. What exactly is the problem here? He got what he wanted out of a nearly impossible situation. I'm sorry for you knucks' if the US didn't suffer an embarrasing defeat, as clearly you're willing to side with Assad over Obama but as I said before, be careful who you choose to get into bed with.
Obviously we need to verify, but the funny thing is the simplistic people on the right who feel that international diplomacy is a staged event like a WWF wresting match. Its not, and while the Russians may have called the US' bluff on giving up the WMD's, the French called the Russians bluff on going thru the UN. End result - exactly what we wanted without putting troops in harms way.
