Men sprawled on a tile floor, shirtless and convulsing. Children, too, seemingly unable to control their shaking and flailing. Panic and screams in the background.
These are some of the hard-to-stomach images that the Obama administration has shown a select group of senators in closed-door briefings to make the case that a limited military attack on Syria is justified.


It's up to you, my people!!!

1. For now, yes. When Assad pulls off his next massacre we'll have to wait to see what EU does

and NATO.

At some point, it'll get so heinous Russia won't be able to obfuscate.

And continued use of gas is unpalatable to Iranians.

10. I'm with you, kitty! Let's see how things develop

If there are multiple other gassing incidents in Syria, some committee at the U.N. should study it.

These Syrians have nothing to do with us! Yes, they are human... But so is Assad.

Time to chalk my sidewalk with peace signs and feel satisfied with myself.

2. That's awful. Still no unilateral, non-UN-approved attacks!

Take him to the international court.

3. It's assad's country, his people to do with as he pleases. He owns them, not the US

If they don't like it, they can move, find other jobs in other countries. They need to pick up their gassed asses by their bootstraps and not expect help from anyone else.

The powerful in the world, that 1% of countries, have other issues to worry about. Let Peru help them out.

Those people don't have enough to afford our help. It costs money to save lives and if we can't turn a profit doing it than why would we even try? Let them flop around like fish out of water, it's their choice to live in a country that gasses people and to except anyone to help you is just too much. We might have to replace a few of our bombs if we use them, and who is gonna pay for that? A bunch of poor people who are too lazy to get off their buts and simply move?

--- sorry, was channeling the RW for a second. Although on second thought, maybe not.....

5. Good post. Clears it up some.

[MNBrewer]

6. Maybe some kind-hearted country will view the atrocities that occur in the US and help us out

I just hope they don't do it with bombs

[The Straight Story]

7. Yeah, we could just ask assad to be a good boy and not do it again, that might work

Send him some money and food, maybe some twinkies will get the job done.

He just needs some love. Parachute in some barney's and tickle me elmos. Maybe some ipods to distract people.

We should have thought of that with mussolini. He wasn't really a bad guy, we just didn't take the right approach.

8. your commentary might have a smidgeon of relevence

when Bashar al Assad takes over a neighboring country.

The idiotic comparison to Mussolini... just STOP.

[ocpagu]

4. No, of course not. We just shouldn't make it even worse for them by sending bombs instead of help.

[NightWatcher]

9. Spread much pro-war propaganda?

You are being manipulated by these pics of kids. Thousands more kids will die if we strike.

Which better, the kids that are already dead, or thousands more dead kids?

[Oilwellian]

11. How odd we get to see this video...

yet we don't see videos of the women and children we've been turning into red mist with bombs and drones, for the past 12 years. I have pictures though. Shall I post them as well? They're equally as gruesome and tugs at the heart strings, just like your video's intent is to manipulate the masses. Fortunately, it's not working this time and the people have awakened.

14. and to think how upset some were about Manning leaking that video

credibility= zero

[pediatricmedic]

12. No, but we don't go after him with bombs and bullets, we go after his finances, trade, and support

I think people are getting tired of the bombs and bullets approach.

[GeorgeGist]

13. If you think cluster bombs are more humane ...

you're insane.
