US Memo: Syria Used Chemical Weapons
— Ace

A week ago the French foreign minister announced they had "no doubt" Syria had deployed Sarin against rebel troops, and that they had blood and urine samples of victims showing the presence of Sarin (or its metabolites).

As happened before with Libya, when France says jumps, Obama asks how high.

So this is the point at which Obama asks Congress for a formal authorization for the use of military force, right? Ha, ha; only Republican presidents are required to do that. Apparently there's some Secret Clause of the Constitution that specifies that a president can use military force if authorized by Congress, or a liberal media hoping for some Tail Wag Dog action, or France.

Mark my words: Not a single liberal Sunday show host, not a single liberal reporter, will ask Obama or any of his spokesmen if they intend to ask Congress for authorization, or hold a debate on the issue, or even comply with the War Powers Act (which permits unilateral executive warmaking but only for 60 days). They will simply all act as if of course the president has this power and that of course the Constitution is silent on the issue and leaves this all very vague.

Because they sure as f*** are not going to bring this up with a president who's already trampling the Constitution. People might get ideas.

But I dunno. Does the Pres need Congress to okay sending weapons?

10 If they really are using it, why did it take so long to detect and why did the syrians resort to all that paliwood bullshit? I still have my doubts that serin was used.

19 White House: Assad used sarin gas, crossed 'red line' Deputy National Security Advisor Rhodes says intelligence community estimates 100-150 people died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria; Obama decided to provide direct non-lethal assistance to Syrian opposition, he reports I posted this on the last thread. "Non-Lethal" assistance? No need for Congressional Authorization for dropping tents and MREs on them

Posted by: andycanuck at June 13, 2013 03:44 PM (9+vDU)

22 The reason why the White House web site says "Founding Founders" versus "Founding Fathers" might be not just "Father phobia", but because someone fancies himself as part of the next tranche. As if. Of course, since America is becoming, once again, the place of "my race, may it always be right, but my race, right or wrong", then I'm sure for the next few generations someone is probably correct on how he is to be viewed. Color trumps ability and ethics in the modern-day America. Hopefully the revisionists can take this somewhat unfair age for what it was.

118 Jones, Let me be clear, some will say that those that believed in a direct threat as the only reason to assist poor people in another country when they are being gas'd and possibly waterboarded is a false dichotomy.

and as , I've always said, We should help All from being punished and murdered or being forced to give birth to the parasite idealogy of Republican ideas. where ever they live. and also should provide clear demands of free BC and abortions for all.

125 109 W/Z earlier today. Bill Clinton said that TFG would look like a "wuss" a "fool" and "lame" if he didn't intervene in Syria! Posted by: Barack the Balless at June 13, 2013 08:04 PM (u6lBN) Right. That's the reason why a President should take our nation to war. So nobody will call him a "wuss". These are not serious people.

Might be an old story but I'm trying to educate myself on all this and so to me t's a new story.

The more I read I think we should have all the different tribes and factions sign up to get their piece of land and assign them that piece and call it.

And leave religious shrines as neutral territory owned by the world.

But I have a feeling that is a naive assessment, which is why I keep reading.

137 Bill Clinton said that TFG would look like a "wuss" a "fool" and "lame" if he didn't intervene in Syria! Maybe Bill is punking Barky. Play on his vanity, and goad him into getting into a war that has no support whatsoever among the American public. Then Hillary can run in '16 on the platform of extricating us from this mess. Great strategy, if you ignore all the dead American soldiers.

139 Top Sunni Cleric Yusuf Al-Qardawi Calls For Jihad In Syria Against Assad Regime And HezbollahÂ… Via MEMRI: Following are excerpts from an interview with leading Sunni scholar Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on June 9, 2013. Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: It is not just the army that is fighting in Syria, but the Russians and the Iranians. The Iranians are fighting us through the money they send, and by means of their weapons, their men, and their policies. The most dominant group that is fighting the Syrian people is the group that calls itself Â“HizbullahÂ” ["Party of God"], although it is, in fact, the Â“Party of Satan.Â” Â“Satan has overcome them and made them forget the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of Satan. It is the party of Satan that will be the losers.Â” They have come to fight the Syrian people. They are killing them by the thousands. But Allah will not let them be. Allah will take revenge on them for the Syrian people. [...] I call upon anybody who is capable, anyone who has experienced fighting anywhere in the world, and can go and help his brothers in Al-Qusseir and those parts, to go and do so, if there is nothing to stop him. I call upon individuals and countries to do so Â– especially the countries of the Arab Gulf, who are closest to [Sunni] Syrians, but also upon all the other Arab countries. Interviewer: Are you calling for Jihad in Syria? Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Jihad is now incumbent upon all Muslims, each according to his capabilities Â– both individuals and countries. Nobody must spare a thing in helping this country, which will be destroyed if we do not help it. The Islamic nation is capable of helping it.

141 Re: 129 Battle of Plataea, sort of. The naval Battle of Salamis had already blunted Xerxes invasion, and he had left an occupying remant. The Spartans and Athenians, together, defeated it. There was one Spartan who had been with Leonidas and had been on the sick list, and hence not killed. To regain honor, he charged the entire Persian army, alone. Naturally, he was killed, but he did restore his name. But what do I know? I'm not as smart as someone like Barack Obama.

So since the sequester we have sent billions of dollars to Egypt, are about to fund billions in Syria, and a $100 million vacation for the obamas in Africa. But fuck no school kids, we can't afford a WH tour.

Shoulda raised the ante on him, and said that TFG would look like a "wuss" a "fool" and "lame" if he didn't personally lead the troops into Syria.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at June 13, 2013 05:42 PM (Z2Bkq)

150 This development means nothing. That crossing-the-line bullshit was nothing more than that - bullshit. This is not to be taken that I advocate direct intervention in Syria, because I don't. I'd prefer that they battle it out among themselves, and when a victor emerges, we should probably kill whoever they are.

The point is that Obie is all talk and no brains. He runs his mouth making a brave noise, implying that some sort of action will be taken if some severe condition is met, and when that condition indeed comes to pass (the asshole figured it would never happen, so he could bluster freely and not have to worry about following through in the event it did happen) his response is likely to be either weak or nonexistent.
