Case you had any doubts on which side the rebels were on.

So have we been training and equiping the "rebels" all a long? So this would be a big loss for our current policy?

Putin to the rescue. Saves Obama from himself. Who would have thought.

My assumption has been that neither side made the nerve agents. Saddam transported the nerve agents to Syria right before we invaded. Assad has the ability to deliver nerve agents to the rebels, the rebels have no way of delivering the nerve agents to Assad. However they have the ability to use them on themselves.

If I remember my WW2 history correctly, German soldier posing as Polish soldiers attacked Germany, prior to Germany's invasion of Poland. It was called the Gleiwitz incident.

But if stopping a dictator from using nerve agents was so critical to Obama, why was he uninterested in stopping Saddam when he repeatedly used nerve agents against his people (the Kurds) and Iran?

A Fox news commentator made an error on their broadcast this morning. He said Assad was the only person to kill people with nerve gas since Hitler.

I found no method to contact Fox news so they could set the record straight.

Terrible that they would allow such a factual error to be made on their network. Maybe its part of being balanced, they have to promote lies with the truth.

Saddam Hussein (remember him) used nerve gas repeatedly in Iraq against his own people the Kurds and in the Iraq/Iran war. He piled up a much higher body count than 1400. I believe Assad or the rebels got all of his nerve gas from Saddam just before we invaded.

Oh and yeah and our current president was against taking any action against him.

Rebels attack Christian village reports a nun from a convent in the village.

The rebels would be the side we would be helping under the current request from the President.

At the end the article talks about the Sunnis and Shias and which side is which.

Regarding a previous comment of mine regarding Shias and Sunni, and a previous comment on the Beruit bombing, I will follow with this comment: the Beruit bombing of the marines was carried out by Shias, on orders from the government of Iran who provided the explosives.
from Wikipedia " In his memoir, General Colin Powell (at the time an assistant to Caspar Weinberger) noted, as Colonel Geraghty already had projected, that "When the shells started falling on the Shiites, they assumed the American ‘referee’ had taken sides." Some analysts subsequently criticized the decision to have U.S. warships shell Druze and Syrian forces. They claim that this action forced a shift in the previously neutral U.S. forces by convincing local Lebanese Muslims that the U.S. had taken the Christian side."

This article at the top, however, backs up my previous statement that the Shias are more tolerant than the Sunnis.

Wow I'm at James Coney Island they have CCN on.

Barbara Boxer as a hawk. John Kerry as a hawk.

It's kind of some alternate universe.

What is also interesting most of the anti war anti Bush Facebook friends are staying anti war.

They are not following Obama down this road. Most say things like don't bomb Syria bomb Monsanto.

We just need to get Hilliary to commit to this war like she did with Iraq.

Some thoughts:

Sunni - conservative Muslims. Think Osama.

Shia - much more secular, moderate.

Somehow I think because of Iran - Shia and Saudi Arabia - Sunni we have gotten on the wrong side.

Assad is Shia, the rebels are Sunni like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

There is an outfit called Wahabi, they are the most intolerant, they are Sunni.

I would hate to see our guys dieing for our future killers.

My two cents. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Sarah Palin is also a facebook "like", so I get her posts. I thought this one was pretty good.
