So talk about people not knowing what the fuck they are talking about.


U.S. officials’ strong words on Syria signal that attack is near

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/kerry-lays-out-evidence-of-chemical-weapons-attack-by-syria/2013/08/30/d1c19d58-118f-11e3-bdf6-e4fc677d94a1_story.html?hpid=z3

The Obama administration laid out a case Friday for launching a military strike against Syria that left little room for doubt that an attack is imminent.

President Obama said he had not made a decision. But he said impunity for a massive use of chemical weapons would be a danger to U.S. national security and a sign that the world was “paralyzed” in the face of mass killing.

“A lot of people think something should be done, but nobody wants to do it,” Obama said. He acknowledged that the world feels a “certain weariness, given Afghanistan,” but made no mention of Thursday’s parliamentary vote in Britain, which ruled out participation in an attack.

The most forceful argument, and the clearest indication that action is near, came from Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who outlined intelligence findings against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he said were “as clear as they are compelling.”



They sure sound like people who want to go to war to me.

And when has Obama said no on Keystone or Summers? He hasn't. No wonder you didn't mention them.
