Obama's Operation Doubletalk.
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2014/09/11/iraq-war-iii-obamas-operation-double-talk/"We have ramped up our military assistance to the Syrian opposition. Tonight, I call on Congress again to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters. In the fight against ISIL, we cannot rely on an Assad regime that terrorizes its own people a regime that will never regain the legitimacy it has lost. Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syrias crisis once and for all."
This is the real crux of the matter, and the actual reason for this intensive barrage of war propaganda: its a back door way to carry out regime-change in Syria. Stopped from bombing Syria in direct support of the Islamist rebels by an upsurge of antiwar sentiment, the President is using the execution of two American journalists as a pretext to intervene in the Syrian civil war in a big way.
The fact that Sotloff and quite possibly Foley was kidnapped by the very rebel group weve been supporting with arms and money all along, the "Free Syrian Army" doesnt enter into the equation. Thats because Washingtons contempt for the American people collectively is no less virulent than it is in the case of individuals, such as the family of Steven Sotloff, whose sources have confirmed the treachery of the US-supported "moderates," and whose treatment at the hands of this administration has been shameful."

(18,184 posts)because the BBC published a story about the British hostage and his family, pleading for the hostage takers to get in touch. I knew that meant they were setting us up for the something.
The next shoe will drop
in a week or two and Britain will commit to military action.
I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this movie before and I don't think the reboot will be any different.

(13 posts)I support these air strikes; but getting involved in the middle east shouldn't escalate into a full blown war, after all it would add trillions more to the debt, and would be another disaster like the Iraq war.
