So today Secretary of State John (Lurch) Kerry said it has been confirmed that Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, used chemical weapons against his own people, killing over 1400 civilians. Kerry said that "U.S. intelligence" provided the information. Is this the same U.S. intelligence that told George W. Bush Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (namely chemical weapons)? The Democrats, after voting for a strike on Iraq, decided that Bush lied, just because Iraq had over a year to get rid of his arsenal to Syria. Gee - probably the same arsenal that someone in Syria is using now.
There is much speculation that the chemical weapons used against civilians in Syria were used by Al Qaeda backed rebels instead, with the intention of drawing the U.S. into the conflict. Lord knows that Al Qaeda has never killed innocent people before.... right? So that can't possibly be true. It's bad enough that President Obama is considering arming and helping Al Qaeda against Syria - knowing full well that if Assad falls Syria will be governed by Al Qaeda. But now he wants to help Al Qaeda defeat Assad - even as we fight against them in other parts of the world. Obama... are you serious????
One other thing that needs mentioning when talking about Syria is how President Obama seems to be the only President in my lifetime who broadcasts his military intentions worldwide before executing them. He gave dates for when we would pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan - letting our enemies know when they could move back in. He has now told Bashar Assad what he will do about his supposed use of chemical weapons. Geez - not even Jimmy Carter was that stupid!
There is no doubt Obama is in over his head. He simply doesn't have the life experience to deal with serious military conflict and its results. It's obvious in the way he approaches the Syrian situation. I feel sorry for him in this case. He can't help it he's inept. But he could have not run for President since he knew he couldn't handle the job. And he can step down anytime....
