The White House's handling of Syria is *historically* crazy

As usual, you summed up the situation perfectly.

Re "They THOUGHT they could sell this quickly by using fear and horror and quickly assigning blame to the desired target. They knew once it began the objections would fade away, so the game is to 'do it quickly'.

But they didn't count on the fact that people now know the LIES that were told to get us into Iraq. That people remember Curveball and all the other propaganda that led to that enormous tragedy.

So they used it again and appear to be stunned that it all still sounds so familiar.

And the British Parliament, still hearing from their constituents about the lies told by Blair, Blair still being called to account periodically there, who will probably go down in history as a 'puppet' of the US, were not about to go blindly into another fiasco.

They are still using the made-up numbers eg, which reveals that their 'intel' is FALSE."

How they expected to recycle the SAME lies that got us embroiled in Iraq--and get away with it!--is beyond me.
