Defense Secretary Panetta tells Senator Sessions that military gets its authority from UN or NATO http://misterdangerous.files.wordpre...eing-eye-2.jpg |

On the night of 12 June 1999, 200 Russian airborne troops arrived in Yugoslavia to assist their ally and occupied Pristina International Airport Adem Jashari ahead of the arrival of NATO troops. NATO Command had closed airspace, making it impossible to send support and ammunition from Russia to Serbia, which could have led to confrontation involving Russia and the block CIS. NATO eventually gave control of the airport to Russia. The Kosovo War ended on June 11, 1999, and a joint NATO-Russian peacekeeping force was to be installed in Kosovo. Russia had expected to receive a peacekeeping sector independent of NATO, and were angered when this was refused. A contingent of 200 Russian troops deployed in Bosnia and Herzegovina then crossed into Kosovo and occupied Pristina International Airport in Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo. Upon hearing of the deployment, American NATO commander Wesley Clark called NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana, and was told "you have to transfer authority" in the area. Clark then ordered a contingent of 500 British and French paratroopers to seize the airport by force, an order that is still debated. British officer James Blunt, who commanded the contingent, questioned and did not carry out this order. His delay was sanctioned by British General Mike Jackson. Jackson refused to enforce Clark's orders, reportedly telling him "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you." Jackson instructed the paratroopers to encircle the airport instead. Russia placed several airbases on standby, and prepared battalions of paratroopers to depart for Pristina on Il-76 military transport planes. Fearing that Russian aircraft were heading for the airport, General Clark planned to order British tanks and armored cars to block the runway, and requested American Admiral James O. Ellis for helicopter support. His orders were not carried out, and the United States instead put political pressure on neighboring states not to allow Russia to use their airspace to ferry in the reinforcements. Russia was forced to call off the reinforcements after Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania refused requests by Russia to use their airspace |

US 'backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria, blame it on Assad govt': Report http://in.news.yahoo.com/us-backed-p...045648224.html |
this is exactly it, when something like this happens in the world everyone has to expect the united states to do something about it.
if opinion polls in the past about the war on terrorism are true americans aren't as stupid as they are often thought of by people from overseas. that war has gone on so long now it is still raging it wasn't even an election issue between romney and obama last year. |

Reality is we have so much sickness, hunger, homelessness and unnecessary death right here in the U.S. that the last thing we need to be doing is intervening elsewhere. This country always wants to jump in to fight other countries battles, control other countries politics and even financially support other countries at the drop of a hat. Regardless if our intentions are good or bad in these individual efforts we should be staying our ass at home right here on U.S. soil. Keep our troops, money and efforts right here. Our deficit is phenomenal, the elderly lady living right next door to me can't afford her medication and there are hungry children living under the freeway a mile from my house. How about we help some of those issues first for a change.

If you're not with Obama you're with the Racists
Q. In what circumstances, if any, would the president have constitutional authority to bomb Iran without seeking a use-of-force authorization from Congress? (Specifically, what about the strategic bombing of suspected nuclear sites — a situation that does not involve stopping an IMMINENT threat?)
Obama: The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. http://www.boston.com/news/politics/...ateQA/ObamaQA/ http://24.media.tumblr.com/4924a5f10...6aebo1_500.jpg |

Here's what will happen. Obama will heed Congress' advice to let them "share the burden" of the decision. They will vote against action, because it's the opposite of what Obama wants.
Two months later, the conservative narrative about the whole Syria thing will be Obama was soft on Syria. |

I'm thinking now that the U.S won't drop 1 single bomb on Syria

Obama has backed himself into a corner and has to go through with it otherwise he looks like the weakling he is. Also it now seems that once again this is about business and not humanitarianism. Apparently Qatar inked a deal with Exxon to sell natural gas to the UK and cutting Russia out. The only thing in the way of finalizing the deal is Syria. Which also explains Russia's real concern in the matter as well. |

that makes no sense, Ron Paul must be crazy and dumb ... Syria has weapons of mass destruction:warning i mean, chemical weapons... fool me once ... can't get fooled again. they hate you for your freedom : get molested at the airport to protect you from Al Qaeda .... now we work with Al Qaeda this makes perfect sense to me http://troll.me/images/brick-tamland/lmao-seriously.jpg |
"the government issued a detailed intelligence assessment outlining evidence based on intercepts, satellites, and human spying to make its case that the Assad regime was responsible for the chemical attack last Wednesday."
"We assess with high confidence that the Syrian government carried out the chemical weapons attack against opposition elements in the Damascus " Quote:
