So the Saudis presumably said that they control Al Qaida and threatened the Sochi Olympics with Chechen terrorists? Well, don't know if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me. In addition to knowing a Syrian xtian, I also know an Ethiopian. Ethiopia used to export a lot of cheap labor to Saudi Arabia, people who worked in the palaces and so forth, and a lot of the Saudi so-called royal family are as depraved in real life as anything PN can dream up.

But maybe there is another part to this. There is a huge, recently-discovered oil and gas deposit in the eastern Mediterranean. Saudi Arabia and the other ME oil exporting states depend on petroleum reserves as their economic lifeblood, but the USA is obsessed with it. Needs further thought.

In the meantime: how in hell did we wind up on the side of the terrorists?

In general, the same way we ended up on the same side as a lot of brutal dictators: it seemed like a good idea, at the time.

Do we know the delivery system for the WMD used?

I'm guessing either mortor or artillery. But we're saying we have satellite evidence? Did I miss Colin Powell's slide show?

An American military attack on Syria could begin as early as Thursday and will involve three days of missile strikes, according to "senior U.S. officials" talking to NBC News. The Washington Post has the bombing at "no more than two days," though long-range bombers could "possibly" join the missiles. "Factors weighing into the timing of any action include a desire to get it done before the president leaves for Russia next week," reports CNN, citing a "senior administration official."

The New York Times, quoting a Pentagon official, adds that "the initial target list has fewer than 50 sites, including air bases where Syria's Russian-made attack helicopters are deployed." The Times adds that "like several other military officials contacted for this report, the official agreed to discuss planning options only on condition of anonymity."

Thus do the legal and moral requirements of secret military operations lose out in this Administration to the imperatives of in-the-know spin and political gestures.

Also, JT, the idiot in the posted video should either drive or vlog, not both.

I think William has the best and most succinct comment on it, just in that first line - the article itself is just overkill.

War on Syria: Twenty Pounds of Stupid in a Ten-Pound Bag.

Ask yourself this, exactly when, ever, has our interference ever actually IMPROVED the situation over there ?

Anyone ?

Bueller ?

*crickets*

Yeahhhh....

So why do we keep doin the same stupid, pointless, wasteful, futile things, save as naught more than a blood soaked excuse to keep the warfare-welfare state going ?

I say fuck it, send a couple C130s over and carpet bomb them with hashish baked brownies, then leave it alone a while.

This is pretty amazing. I think everyone on the board uniformly hates the idea of supporting either side of this conflict.

As for the chemicals and delivery, it's all over the place. Some people are saying it's some sort of soviet origin g-shell like what was used in Syria. Some are saying Agent-15 from Iraq, some are saying some kind of nerve agent canisters fired from tanks, Israel thinks Syria has been using white phosphorus.

Wild speculation from leadership and a quick move to action while the media blares about how it's all so obvious and If we doubt the official narrative then we have no conscience... And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is dubious.

I'm impressed.
