It's time to question the U.S. role as the World's Police and whether we want to continue to squander our resources to support the Military-Industrial-Complex.
This should not be a partisan issue, but rather a search to regain our Common Wealth, a Republic with an obligation to uphold American values.

Obama to Seek Congressional Approval on Syria Action
Video and Transcript
President Barack Obama on Saturday backed away
from an imminent military strike against Syria to seek the approval of the U.S.
Congress, in a decision that likely delays U.S. action for at least 10 days.
Congressional Approval Is Not The Critical

The Russian
president has expressed certainty that the strategy for a military intervention
in Syria is a direct response to the Syrian government's recent combat
successes, coupled with the rebels' retreat from long-held
positions.

Quotes About The Coming War On Syria That Every American Should
See
By
Michael Snyder
If it could be
made to look like the Assad regime was using chemical weapons, that would give
the U.S. government the "moral justification" that it needed to intervene
militarily on the side of the rebels.
Where's Congress
on Syria?
By Robert W.
Merry
We have a president who declares in word and
deed that war decisions, as artificially defined by him as something short of
actual war, are exclusively within his constitutional domain.

Let's face some
hard facts about the vicious conflict in Syria. If the US directly attacks
Syria, the real cause will not be the recent chemical attacks.

(WMR)—Just as Americans were led astray by the cable news media
about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction prior to the disastrous U.S.
invasion and occupation of Iraq, once again, viewers of cable news channels are
being subjected to another information warfare campaign. This time it is an
alleged Syrian government chemical attack on “thousands” of civilians in the
Ghouta region outside of Damascus.

Barack Obama’s ‘red lines’ have undoubtedly been crossed. Hundreds
of Syrians gasping for air and unable to control their limbs were no Hollywood
extras. Distraught parents cuddling their dead toddlers close to their chests
were no bit-part actors.
By Wayne Madsen
(WMR)—President Obama has played a cruel joke on critics of
National Security Agency surveillance by naming to his Review Committee on NSA
Programs his former chief of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
Cass Sunstein. Also known as Obama’s “information czar,” Sunstein, who is
married to UN Ambassador Samantha Power, left the administration to return to
Harvard Law School. Sunstein also works out of the George Soros-funded Center
for American Progress in Washington, DC.

In the wake of a chemical weapons attack carried out by US and
CIA-backed Syrian rebels and blamed on the Assad regime, US Secretary of State
John Kerry declared the act “a moral obscenity”, promising a military attack in
response.
By Paul Craig Roberts
Washington and its British and French puppet governments are poised
to yet again reveal their criminality. The image of the West as War Criminal is
not a propaganda image created by the West’s enemies, but the portrait that the
West has painted of itself.

As the U.S. (and U.K.) get set to bomb yet another country, to blow
yet more people to smithereens, to use the excuse of a “red line”—because,
don’tchya know, murdering people by gassing them is so much worse than murdering
them by blowing their brains out—that’s just logic—can’t you numbskulls see
that? Our overlords can.

(WMR)—WMR’s sources in Lebanon report that three deadly car
bombings, one on August 15 in a Hezbollah-controlled area south of Beirut and
two outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli on August 23 during Friday prayers were
intended to import into fragile Lebanon the Sunni-Shi’a/Alawite/Christian
violence that is currently raging in neighboring Syria.
By Peter Chamberlin
Which is the greater moral obscenity? The fact that more than
three-hundred civilians have been killed by chemical weapons, or the undeniable
fact that over 100,000 Syrians have been killed by various means (most of them
civilians), in a premeditated plan to create civil war in another sovereign
nation?
By Jerry Mazza
First, we have a purported dictator bad guy Bashar El-Assad
inviting Doctors Without Borders to hospitals around the country, shortly after
claims were made that 1,000 people were chemically gassed and 300 of them died.
Why would he be willing to make himself culpable and vulnerable if he committed
the heinous act? Sounds like a false-flag operation to me.
By Nicola Nasser
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday, August 26, removed
the sword of the alleged Syrian chemical weapons from its sheath and let the
snowball of this subterfuge for a military aggression on Syria roll unchecked,
raising the stakes from asking whether “it will happen” to “when” it will
happen, promising that President Barak Obama “will be making an informed
decision about how” to take on Syria and warning not to make a “mistake” because
Obama “believes there must be accountability,” making clear that a U.S.-led
military action is in the making and imminent.

How many Egyptians have been killed since the January 2011 revolt?
My pursuit for exact figures has proven to be futile. Various sources suggest
all sorts of numbers, some scrambled in such a way as to make a political point.
It is as if the life of the ordinary Egyptian doesn’t matter on its own, as an
absolute value that must be guarded aside from any political considerations. If
it does matter at all, it is only within a larger context to simply prove a
point.
By Gilad
Atzmon
It doesn’t take a genius to grasp that the American president
doesn’t really want to attack Syria. He doesn’t want to topple Assad’s regime—he
doesn’t have an alternative partner on the ground.
