Presidential Address 9/10/2013 8 PM CT

President Obama just recently gave a Presidential Address mainly about Syria's use of chemical weapons and our plans to respond to it. 

What do you think about it?

If were going to keep pushing this.. I would like to go down the most peaceful path possible.

My question is why didn't Obama demand Syria surrender its chemical weapons two weeks ago instead of making threats? TruthTellers

Also, why did he make the "Red line" statement in the first place?TruthTellers

still hasnt shown evidence? LOL

I also don't think Obama swayed anybody with that speech lol..

The sh1t started spewing out of his mouth almost as soon as he opened it.

"... what began as a series of peaceful protests against the oppressive regime of Bashar Al Assad ... "

:roll:

The following would have been a more truthful introduction:

"... what began as another CIA-orchestrated regime-change operation ... "

I'm glad he's backing down with the attack option.

Christ knows I don't want gas pricing skyrocketing again like it did back during that disgrace of an Iraq war.

So once we destroy the chemical weapons, Assad can go back to killing everyone using conventional weapons? What kind of stupid ass shit is this?

I rely on the writing of people who have the time and the inclination to conduct the necessary research and who present their conclusions in credible, well-substantiated documents.

In this case, the basis of my statement is the welter of irrefutable and/or readily-testable evidence presented in this essay.

Remember when we waited 2 years to even talk about directly intervening

The hope was that Assad could be toppled using Al Qaeda proxies alone.  Seeking a pretext for intervention has become necessary because the Syrian national army has been trouncing the Washington-backed terrorists.

and when Obama seems to be trying to back out of intervention....

He's ostensibly backing out of intervention, for now, because he wasn't able to win either popular or international support with the August 21 false flag operation.  Having invested so much in Syrian regime change already, and because overthrowing Assad is seen as a prerequisite for the upcoming war on Iran, Obama is unlikely to abandon intervention altogether.  The next false flag operation is probably well under way already, although I admit that that's just speculation.

oh yeah and the lack of weapons the US is supplying to the rebels....

What lack is that?  Military.com: US to Arm Syrian Rebels

But yeah it was all a CIA conspiracy...

That it is.

I should never ever be surprised at this sort of irony. I know intellectually that there will be this reversal of the poles on each new transfer of power. I should be MORE surprised in cases when it doesn't happen. Despite this, I do get taken aback from time to time, and this is one of those cases.

This isn't just the usual presidential chairs party game though, and that's probably what's causing me to take more than the usual passive notice. As someone pointed out to me this morning, we have 'Nobel Peace Prize' winning POTUS who wants to bomb some country for the presence of WMD, with Machiavellians like Vladimir Putin negotiating peace. This is BizarroWorld!
