Syria: Too many questions!

Folks, The NeoCons LIED about Yellow Cake Powder and Weapons of Mass Destruction and sucked the U.S. into Iraq, a country now in shambles!

Those few who attempted to speak out and oppose the invasion and occupation of Iraq were villified, discredited and lies were spread about them.

American Flags were waved and PATRIOTISM was the theme.

Let's not repeat the same mistakes.

Secretary of State John Kerry sounds much like Colin Powell when he repeated U.S. lies at the U.N. Convincing? Maybe. But bombing Syria will NOT bring about a resolution.

Too many questions remain.

If Americans are forking over $75 BILLION per year on SURVEILLANCE, how come NSA or the CIA can't identify the source of those CHEMICAL WEAPONS? I'll just bet they can!

Below, is a collage of opinions....

Poll: Americans want Obama to get Congress OK on Syria

Breaking: Obama seeks military action in Syria 31 Aug 2013 President Obama said on Saturday that he was ready to take military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad, but that he will seek the approval of Congress before carrying out a military strike. Obama says congressional leaders have agreed to schedule a debate and vote when they return to session. They are scheduled to return from their summer recess on Sept. 9. The president did not say if he'd forgo a strike if Congress rejects his call to action.

Obama to seek approval from Congress for Syria strike 31 Aug 2013 President Barack Obama says he has decided the US should take military action against Syria in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack that reportedly took over 1,400 lives. However, he will first seek authorization from Congress. The Congress plans to hold a debate and a vote as soon as they come back in September, he added.

Syria: Putin rubbishes chemical attack claims --Russian president goes on offensive against Obama --US weighs up next move as UN team go to Lebanon --Two-thirds of French people oppose intervention, says poll 31 Aug 2013 Vladimir Putin has rejected US intelligence claims that Bashar al-Assad's government used chemical weapons in Syria, saying it would be "utter nonsense" for government troops to use such tactics in a war it was already winning. "That is why I am convinced that [the chemical attack] is nothing more than a provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict, and who want to win the support of powerful members of the international arena, especially the United States," Putin told journalists in Vladivostok.

Operation Tomahawk With Cheese

This deafeningly hysterical show of Syria as Iraq 2.0 is only happening because a president of the United States (POTUS) created a ''credibility'' problem when, recklessly, he pronounced the use of chemical weapons in Syria a ''red line''

War Plan To Gas Syrians And Blame Assad Regime

The bottom line is that those who attack and devastate other countries without the sanction of the United Nations are degenerate war criminals. As with Nazi war criminals, there should be no place for them to hide on Planet Earth

A Call To Resist
By George Capaccio

What is the difference between a Syrian father cradling the lifeless body of his son, a victim of some dreadful neurotoxin, and a mother in Iraq delivering a horribly deformed baby? On what scale does one measure the suffering of either parent? Are the perpetrators behind the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria crueler and more deserving of condemnation than the officers who oversaw the destruction of Falluja or a village in Afghanistan? And what of the countless families in Yemen and Pakistan struggling to identify the charred and scattered remains of their loved ones, killed by a US drone? Isn’t their pain just as great, their loss just as devastating?


America’s War On War

The drums of war are beating again. No one can imagine that if America makes a war-like strike on Syria, it will help the people of Syria to find a peaceful solution of the crisis. There is no impetus for peacemaking and conflict resolution
