Blink and youll miss it, but President Obama just revised and extended his red line for stopping Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against Syrian civilians.
We cannot stand by and permit the systematic use of weapons like chemical weapons on civilian populations, Obama said today, per Reuters Jeff Mason. It was Obamas first comments about what he acknowledged was a potential game changer since his White House acknowledged yesterday that U.S. intelligence considers reports of chemical weapons use in Syria credible.
The key word in that statement is systematic. The surprise White House acknowledgement, in a letter to senators yesterday, said that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons, particularly sarin gas on a small scale. Danger Room reported that the evidence underlying the U.S. intelligence assessment included blood samples that indicated the effects of sarin. Behind the scenes, as Danger Room has earlier reported, the Obama administration has spotted Assad prepping its chemical stocks for use last year, and attempted to block shipments of precursor chemicals.
The statement gives the president wiggle room something Obama has wanted to preserve throughout the two-year Syrian civil war. Combined with Obamas call for to investigate and substantiate the assessment of the chemical use, Obama has now implied it would take a widespread use of the chemicals to prompt the U.S. to involve itself more deeply in the rebel effort to overthrow Assad, which is the stated objective of U.S. Syria policy. Foreign Policy managing editor Blake Hounshell suspected yesterday that it would take a much larger use of chemical weapons by Assad to spur a U.S. military response. But even systematic use of chemical weapons begs the question of how much sarin and other deadly gasses Assad can use before Obama feels compelled to stop him.
It seems it is OK to use chemical weapons as long as you only do it a little bit.
What a surprise.

Of course, Republicans who are so concerned for the Debt/deficit, want us to rush right in and help. But, help who? The Muslims fighting Assad? But don't Republicans hate Muslims? Don't Republicans want less government intervention?It seems it is OK to use chemical weapons as long as you only do it a little bit.
What a surprise.
This isn't about republicans, butthead.
Quick question.........................how are we going to mount an attack in Syria? Are we going to raise taxes to do it?

Better question(s)....Why did Boiking shoot his mouth off about a "red line" if he wasn't really going to do anything?...Why write a check with your cake hole that your ass isn't willing to cash?
Why are liberoidals like you giving him a pass on that one?
He hasn't done anything yet because he's all fucking mouth....And you know it.Don't know.Quick question.........................how are we going to mount an attack in Syria? Are we going to raise taxes to do it?

He hasn't done anything yet, because there isn't a good, verifiable, chain of custody concerning the proof that they have right now.
However................once that is taken care of (and they're working on it right now), then we will have proof and can proceed as required.
I'd much rather have him wait for verified, undeniable proof before lobbing bombs and rockets at the people over there.
Bombs and missiles cost money. Lots of money.

Blink and you’ll miss it, but President Obama just revised and extended his “red line” for stopping Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against Syrian civilians.

Because he's not stoopid like the Doofus we had before.Better question(s)....Why did Boiking shoot his mouth off about a "red line" if he wasn't really going to do anything?...Why write a check with your cake hole that your ass isn't willing to cash?
We're trying to catch up to all the passes rightwads gave Doofus, but we'll never catch up!Why are liberoidals like you giving him a pass on that one?

FYI:
The Orthodox patriarch in Syria, Ignatius IV Hazim, has said he supports the Assad regime and opposes any intervention in the country, saying it would be harmful to both Christians and Muslims.
Who?s fighting whom in Syria?

You dumb schmuck
The Syrian Opposition is Entirely Run by Al Qaeda
"Nowhere in Rebel-Controlled Syria is There a Secular Fighting Force to Speak Of"
in an astounding admission, the New York Times confirms that the so-called Syrian opposition is entirely run by Al Qaeda and literally states:
Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.
This comes from the New York Times and its not an opinion piece. The admission of what we knew all along should put to rest any more nonsense about backing secular rebel forces in Syria to keep the Islamists from taking over.
There are no secular forces. Even the New York Times has finally admitted it. When the media talks about secular forces, it means the militias controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.

So now out rightarded dumb f***s Want the United States to help Al Quida!
Right...Shooting off your big fucking flapper when you really have no intent on doing anything is the new "smart"!Because he's not stoopid like the Doofus we had before.Better question(s)....Why did Boiking shoot his mouth off about a "red line" if he wasn't really going to do anything?...Why write a check with your cake hole that your ass isn't willing to cash?

Of course Mr. Bluster's statements and drawing red lines or lines in the sand only show exactly that. Obama is all bluster and nothing behind it. North Korea and Iran are looking at this very closely. Both leaders of these countries have already seen how Obama loses face and his honor on a daily basis. This only confirms their observations. As usual he will find some weasel word to weasel from under the sabre rattling and hot air he spews.
Actually, the problem is with the chain of custody concerning the soil samples. The need to have a good chain of custody proving those weapons were used rather than going off half cocked into another war based on bad intel.
Remember Iraq and the supposed WMD's that were there? Instead of going after Hussein, we should have kept after OBL.
At least Obama is willing to wait for verified proof before shipping us into another war.
