didn't watch the speech.
did see a 'breaking news' on my homepage at one point tho, where obama said 'syria represents danger to our national security'.

i don't suppose he explained how? still haven't seen an explanation on that one. saying it doesn't make it so.


http://news.msn.com/us/analysis-obam...-publics-trust

'trust me'.

seriously? i always look askance at someone when they say 'trust me'. or 'you can't miss it' for that matter...at any rate, why would anyone trust obama at this point? hey, mr pres, lay it all out. don't just say 'chemical weapons, we need to strike'. give details. why do we need to strike? how is it a matter of our national security? why do you keep pushing this, when no one else is?

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a..._congress.html

President Obama’s address about his Syria policy felt like the policy itself at times. He went ahead with it just because he promised he would. The purpose of the East Room address was to rally the country and members of Congress to support a military strike against Syria, but the Congressional vote to do so has been postponed while a possible diplomatic solution is pursued. So the president’s speech was like delivering a locker room speech after the rain delay had been called.

But in keeping with the apparent rule that every aspect of this policy must have a contradiction, the president argued that the threat of military force must remain credible to keep diplomacy alive. Assad will give up chemical weapons only if he believes he’ll receive Tomahawk missiles if he doesn’t. But the only way that can be done at present—since Obama has made it clear he won’t act without Congress—is with a Congressional vote supporting military strikes. But that vote has been postponed—at the president’s request—while diplomacy is pursued. Because the president was almost certain to lose such a vote, not having Congress weigh in was the best way to keep the pressure on.

So if I'm clear, killing 100's of thousands of people, mostly civilians and children with guns and bombs is totally cool, but gassing them is what is keeping Obama up all night.

2 years into this and now he needs to preempt "The Bachelor - Funniest Moments" to plead his case?! Has he no shame?!!

Maybe that's why we haven't intervened in Africa yet - no nerve gas. Makes complete sense now.

And from the White House News Agency (RE: MSM), much like a vampire from True Blood "glamming" his victims, 61% of Americans now magically support his position. LOL.

yeah, apparently bombs are civilized. why it matter how one dies when caught in crossfire is beyond me.
their civil war has gone on for years, we don't need to get involved. do i feel bad for the innocent victims? yes, just like i do for innocent victims everywhere else. but how this is somehow involving our national security is beyond me. what tests does it meet that other areas of the world don't?
