When you make very bold statements you are often placed in the position of having to live up to with them.

President Obama: “Once we establish the facts, I have made clear that the use of chemical weapons is a game changer,” March 20, 2013
Yet, no action is taken against Syria pending an investigation.

General Martin Dempsey's Letter to Rep. Engel: “It would not be militarily decisive, but it would commit us decisively to the conflict. Syria today is not about choosing between two sides but rather about choosing one among many sides ... We should evaluate the effectiveness of limited military options in this context.” August 19, 2013

Chemical weapons used in Ghouta and again in Damascus on August 21, 2013
When you tell your enemy that you aren't really going to do anything provocative, "It would not be militarily decisive", you essentially tell them it's okay.

This commentary pretty much sums it all up for me.

Is it just me or is John Kerry looking more and more like John Smiley?

John Kerry is so Botoxed, he looks embalmed. His forehead doesn't move and his eyes don't match. Of course, his wife is no help, she looks just as bad.

I guess I shouldn't announce that I'm sending a p.m. Let's just leave it at my answer was political and I do not approve of military intervention in Syria.
Either that or charge per copy.

No. The only reason we don't want posts deleted is because it messes up the thread. For example, you might post:
Rick, how many canoe accidents have you had?
My response: 12.
Then you delete your post and my response of 12 is hanging out there with no reference and no longer makes any sense (assuming any of my posts make sense of course).
You shouldn't run into that on a blog.

So who has thrown on their backpack and gone for a nice relaxing hike lately
Some of you know that in my former life I managed disaster recovery and business continuity for the corporation I worked for. While I've let my certifications lapse I still receive a lot email in the field, which I've found pretty helpful in my personal life. In any case, and the reason I am posting here, is an email I received today regarding a retaliatory attack by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) if the US launches a first strike. It's an interesting read.

You know Obama is all whacked out by the chemical weapons that Syria has supposedly used, but to me that is no different than all of the road bombs, suicide bombers, and fertilizer bombs that are used almost every day in the Arab nations to kill each other with. The end results are the same, people die!
And I really don't care anymore that those people love to kill each other over there. I am all for letting them kill each other and the US saves our money to straighten out our meesses right here!
We need to let those people follow their own dreams of killing each other and maybe someday they will exterminate their own race and the rold can move on!
