Syria: Neocons Push for More War

David Corn's article below highlights the signatories pushing for war in Syria.
It's important to note their connection with the Project for the New American Century.

Here's the Wikipedia entry: Project for the New American Century.

The criticism has previously been made that very few PNAC members have served in the military and those that have, weren't in combat. Chicken Hawks!

These are the folks that got us into the Middle East Disasters based on the lies of Yellow Cake Powder and Weapons of Mass Destruction, successfully destabilizing the region.

Neocons Push Obama to Go Beyond a Punitive Strike in Syria

The drums of war are beating, as various news reports state that President Barack Obama and his European allies are close to launching some sort of military attack against Syria. But one question is how big the bang will be. The White House has signaled that whatever comes will be strictly a punitive strike in retaliation for the Assad regime's presumed use of chemical weapons against civilians. It will not be an action aimed at toppling Bashar al-Assad or changing the overall strategic dynamic of the ongoing civil war in Syria. The supposed goal is to deter Assad from resorting to chemical weapons again. Foreign policy experts disagree—of course—on whether any assault of this nature would achieve that end, and such an action could have unintended consequences (say, a host of dead civilians) that might render it not a clear-cut success. But the band of neocons that led the United States into the Iraq War have quickly moved to seize on the administration's inclination to mount a punitive strike in order to draw the nation further into the conflict in Syria.
