The 5 Most Ludicrous War Claims in Obama’s Syria Speech

That is actually insulting, although I'm sure you don't mean it that way.

Please rt, don't fall into a logic trap like the one we saw back in 2003. I'm sure you recall that if, back then, you were against the Iraq invasion, you were more than just wrong. You were labelled as unpatriotic and unAmerican, or worse. Remember all the mud that was thrown at the Dixie Chicks?

One can be very much against a Syrian strike, and still care very much about all the civilian deaths in the conflict. That statement is so obvious that it almost does not need to even be said.
