About to cross the U.S.'s red line. What's one more war....

The Muthaship: About to cross the U.S.'s red line. What's one more war....

According to news I'm listening to, they have 60 days before it goes bad.

/could be an interesting/scary 60 days

The Muthaship: About to cross the U.S.'s red line. What's one more war....

Fair point, but the use of chemical or biological weapons should be a red line for the entire world, not just America. No one even thinks of using these kinds of weapons for anything other than genocide, and humanity has a duty to itself to stop such insanity from coming to bear.

Repeating myself since this might go green:

U.S. officials stressed that as of now, the sarin bombs hadn't been loaded onto planes and that Assad hadn't issued a final order to use them. But if he does, one of the officials said, "there's little the outside world can do to stop it."

Pair that with a visits from Seal Team 6, some Green Berets, and some of fine folks from MI6, and we got ourselves an international ass kicking of a despot.

This should be some party--who will show up? Turkey? Hezbollah? Israel? The US? Iran?

/gonna need some more snacks

There's plenty the world could do, it's just the lack of will. What happened when Saddam Hussein gassed the Kurds? Not a damn thing...

If he's doing this, he's already close to an ass kicking. This is a sign of desperation. The people should free themselves, we just make sure they can.

Meanwhile the Russians keep doing business.

yellowcake 2.0?

Admiral Painter in 5... 4... 3... 2...

GODDAMMIT!

Repeat after me Fark.

NOT.. OUR ....FARKING.... PROBLEM!

So another war in the middle east for us then, right?

Aw shiat.

The Turks will do it which will make the Ruskies very nervous.

We found the WMD's! Woo hoo!

cman: So another war in the middle east for us then, right?

You'd rather watch genocide in HD on the nightly news?

mmmmmm hmmmmmmm

At this point, it's as if Assad wants UN intervention...

Allen. The end.: There's plenty the world could do, it's just the lack of will. What happened when Saddam Hussein gassed the Kurds? Not a damn thing...

Obama =! Reagan

/plus Saddam was an ally for that week

His head is shaped like a cylinder. Wat up with that?

Weren't people bragging about missiles that can land in some guy's coffee cup from a thousand miles away? Why don't we just use those?

i wonder if they're hoping iran will join in. romney may get his war anyway...

That could be a lot of fun if the F-22s are actually up and running okay for now. I'm curious to see what they would be like when let off the leash, because an air superiority fighter that you can't see coming is something that should be pants wettingly scary for a military that has to go up against them.

Of course, that is assuming that the F-22 can manage to not asphyxiate its pilot in the process. Last I head it was actually squeezing them to unconsciousness with the G-suits somehow.

This is starting to get Syrias.

Finally an excuse to start world war three.

mr lawson: Repeat after me Fark.

NOT.. OUR ....FARKING.... PROBLEM!

Yes, it is. This has the potential to engulf the entire Middle East including several of our allies who may or may not end up on the same side. This isn't the same situation as Iraq.

Meh, Fartbama needs another war to justify his tax cuts for the socialist deadbeat middle class.

bingo. i don't care who owns that crappy section of desert as long as i didnt have to pay for it. i realize thats callous and cruel to say, but why should more of my friends die on the other side of the globe to try and sort things out in favor of a group who are no more fond of us than assad.

But, but where's the intelligence that says he has weapons of mass destruction. President Community Organizer channeling George Bush...come in President Bush....

PirateKing: Weren't people bragging about missiles that can land in some guy's coffee cup from a thousand miles away? Why don't we just use those?

Because we don't want to break, spell, and disperse the coffee cup and it's contents?

How many Arab countries do we need to bomb until we get one for free?

I have a feeling Turkey is going to take issue with this.

Remember when Nancy Pelosi put on a cute headscarf and did freelance diplomacy (in violation of the law, but who cares about that) in Syria while Bush was in office? "The road to peace goes through Damascus," or some such nonsense? Accomplishing exactly nothing?

Good times.

/The little dork eye doctor was always a murderer, geniuses.

The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said.

Initial symptoms following exposure to sarin are a runny nose, tightness in the chest and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim has difficulty breathing and experiences nausea and drooling. As the victim continues to lose control of bodily functions, the victim vomits, defecates and urinates. This phase is followed by twitching and jerking. Ultimately, the victim becomes comatose and suffocates in a series of convulsive spasms.

ya..you guys bring this to the table, and it's all over biatches. You're going to get raped. Don't even think about it.

Mentat: We found the WMD's! Woo hoo!

Only nine years too late.

WTF Indeed: How many Arab countries do we need to bomb until we get one for free?

We've gotten a couple so far. We just keep giving them back since we see what they're like once we're there.

So, if Syria gets pushed onto the train tracks, do we only take pictures?

Mentat: Yes, it is. This has the potential to engulf the entire Middle East including several of our allies who may or may not end up on the same side. This isn't the same situation as Iraq.

Nope...Let's try letting them killing off each other for a while. The whole Middle East seem to want war. Fine. Let'em have it.

NOT OUR PROBLEM

Motherfu(kers.

Shall I point out that while I agree with the weapons bans, another 'thing' we agreed on, internationally speaking, was no torture?

I still think we should help.
Because we can.

vartian: cman: So another war in the middle east for us then, right?

No, I would turn the TV off.

Look what happened with Bush and Iraq. Mushroom Cloud Smoking Gun, remember that? This doesnt concern us

I haven't kept up on the outrage, but is the GOP angry that Obama is doing too much or not enough?

JohnAnnArbor: Nancy Pelosi put on a cute headscarf and did freelance diplomacy (in violation of the law, but who cares about that) in Syria while Bush was in office

No, because that never happened.

cman: Look what happened with Bush and Iraq. Mushroom Cloud Smoking Gun, remember that? This doesnt concern us

Wait, how is this in any way similar to Iraq?

WTF Indeed: How many Arab countries do we need to bomb until we get one for free?

None, we should let Israel take care of things over there.

Grand_Moff_Joseph: Pair that with a visits from Seal Team 6, some Green Berets, and some of fine folks from MI6, and we got ourselves an international ass kicking of a despot.

Hopefully we've already have had international discussions (and plans) to deal with this.

/bets the Presidents phone is pretty busy right now

Mentat: We found the WMD's! Woo hoo!

We were only about 1500 miles off.
