US WEIGHS MILITARY ACTION AGAINST SYRIA

I can't fucking believe this! We need a revolution in the US, we are living in a fascist state! If the US invades Syria in any way shape or form I don't think my blood pressure will stay at healthy levels.

Good luck. And good luck not having him liquidated once he is identified.

The Bush administration has got to be stopped before the whole world erupts.

This is just plain sick.

he mentioned a story about the selective service board being convened. Is it getting kind of DRAFTY in here or what?

so we could attack Syria and Iran. This was expected, by me, at least.:(

Warmongering bastards.:grr:

Duya!

I've got active bets going with friends who drink the koolaid about Iran and Syria. I was thinking I might lose those bets with Fitzgerald's indictments in the works, but maybe the Administration plans to hurry up and start even if they know they won't be able to finish.

If you think about it, they don't need to finish wars/military actions with Iran or Syria in order to line their pockets and further their agenda. They just need to start.

That's the problem. Syria in fact has helped us. bush and company simply refuse to acknowledge that and continue to promote the myth that Syria is 100 percent in support of terrorism and also supports the insurgency in Iraq.

Sy Hersch had an excellent article in The New Yorker regarding Syria's efforts to aid the U.S. Not that Syria is a goody-two-shoes country by any means, but air strikes are exactly what we don't need right now.

"we're running out of patience...."

subtext: "we're reasonable; they're not; we're getting pissed; they better submit."

unwritten/unspoken subtext: "get ready, we're going to invade."

fuck these people. fuck 'em hard.

Afghanistan is a time bomb ticking
Iraq going to blow
Now you want Syria

Oh well what can one say but Your President is a nutcase.

going to do? - nuke a million people for wmd's - we have a renegade administration running the show and must be stopped, somehow, someway, we can't continue to follow an incompetant leader as he points to the ridge leading off the cliff.

Invade Syria?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Lawrence Eagleburger (BBC interview, via Best of the Blogs)
"...I can only tell you….maybe I’ll be made of fool of when I say this but I can’t even imagine that and I’ve only recently heard somebody else say that this is a possibility. I just don’t think that anybody who says that truly understands the American people. You saw the furor that went on in this country before the President got sufficient support to do this. We’re just not built like that. Whether anybody is prepared to admit it or not, this is still a democracy and public opinion and the public still on these issues rules. If George Bush decided that he was going to turn the troops loose on Syria now, and Iran after that, he would last in office for about 15 minutes. You’re talking to somebody who frankly wishes we could knock Syria around a bit because I think they have been absolutely outrageous for years in terms of their support for terrorism. But, because I happen to believe that, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. If President Bush were to try it now, even I would feel that he ought be impeached. You can’t get away with that sort of thing with this democracy. It’s ridiculous."

it would be easier, not more difficult, to invade Syria.

It wouldn't be a ground invasion anyway. Just drop a few thousand bombs and send another $billion or two to Boeing and Rockwell.

WILL NOT support another illegal invasion. They have had it with Iraq. They have watched BILLIONS of their tax dollars go over there and then they watched the response or lack thereof, to Katrina and finally figured it out. We don't have the $$$$ or the troops to take care of our own BECAUSE all of our resources are in Iraq.

Attacking Syria would be the nail in his coffin. He would be a FOOL to do it. Oh yeah, he IS a fool!:scared:

I thought exactly, *exactly* the same thing about Iraq. "He won't do it, that would be crazy..." :crazy:

:(

I'll bet $1000 bucks we won't invade Syria. It's just bluster - I know BS when I hear it...

Randi Rhodes said she just received a request in the mail for her to serve on the selective service board. I think a Draft is coming. If so, they will attack Syria. Iraq was just their first step in their plan.

Talk about political suicide!! These fucks are dumb, but they aren't complete idiots are they?

"Complete idiots" happens to be my favorite term for them. ;)

Why else would they be manning the selective service boards? They've been doing that for years. There must be some reason for it? What's the selective service for?

It really doesn't mean they will be restarting a draft any tiem soon. Instead they just trick the kids:

Family feels misled by recruiter
Kingston student to be sent to Iraq
By Jenna Russell, Globe Staff | October 10, 2005

KINGSTON -- Brian Shepard thought he had the perfect plan: a special program, offered by a Marine Corps recruiter last spring, that would let him finish four years of college before he faced active duty.

Instead, the 18-year-old was notified last week -- less than one month into his freshman year at New Hampshire Technical Institute -- that his Marine Reserve unit will be sent to Iraq early next year, a development that Shepard said his recruiter never told him was possible.

A Marine spokesman said recruiters make no guarantees to enlistees about their deployment. The enlistment paperwork signed by Shepard stated he would have to leave college if his unit was activated, according to the spokesman.

Their bases are stratecically located along the borders of Afghanistan and Iraq. They are there for a purpose. And that purpose is to make it easy to attack Syria and Iran in particular. It will happen, it's just a matter of when.

I think for about a year or so we will conduct economic sanctions and air strikes on Syria just like we did to Iraq in the 90's...weakening their power. As for troops...who said anything about a draft??We have Israel right?

imagine that?:grr:

against Iran, Saudia Arabia, Russia, China, North Korea, Indonesia, and just about every other nation in the world. Because on the off chance we need to, we'd like to have a strategy in place.

:sarcasm:Ever heard of PNAC? Try google.

Oh and did I say CANADA?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Peace

Grrrrrrrrr is right.

Which three spare soldiers are we gonna send into Syria?

The Republicans certainly won't do it before the mid-terms, and after the mid-terms they're going to be the minority party in the Congress anyway.

Why would they make such a politically suicidal move when there are plenty of DLC "centrist Democrats" who don't mind undermining their own party one bit? I'm sure they'd just vomit their usual line, and say that opponents to the Draft are unrealistic 'left wing extremists' who should be ignored.
