I fucking can't believe John Kerry

135. At first I wondered why we're telegraphing our move.

I've never seen a "war" that came with so much pre-invasion advertising. None of this can be by accident, and I don't believe it can all be attributed to so called "saber rattling".

Though as I pointed out in my original reply, none of us have the inside track on intel, I see one likely possibility: Perhaps we see a need to punish the Assad admin- and the military in particular- to send the message that chem warfare is off limits while their nation settles it's differences. I'm in the camp that particularly abhors such weapons as Willy Pete, nerve agents, and nukes, and believe the US has a certain degree of global moral obligation to assure paper tiger leaders leave such ordinance in cold storage during their most desperate times.

Forewarning is necessary to prevent bloodshed if the targets are government infrastructure. Surgical strikes on empty buildings that house govt operations would cause very few, if any of the casualties you forecast in a country without a functioning government. I think you fear a scenario where Obama hits orphanages and residential areas in a mass carpet bombing strike, but I remind you these aren't the neocon stooges that held the key to the toy box under Bush.

I'm absolutely certain that if the administration had openly announced we were going to attack the compound where Osama bin Laden was holed up, some here would post a similar hate filled screed as this one, where the "needless loss of life" would be accompanied by the usual hand wringing and nail biting from isolationists, anarchists, and sore election losers alike.

I was especially offended by this post, not because I necessarily favor military action, but because it has all the earmarks of an attention seeker who just posts a vapid three line "I hate ____" format then sits back to watch the angered thread count pile up. DU seems rife with such personalities lately and it's unfortunate so many take the bait. It just encourages a similarly reworded post from the same member a few days from now. Wash, rinse, repeat, and get a life outside the forum.
