Do we really have to take military action to Syria?

Remember the guy who cut his enemy’s heart out and ate it, Beck added? “We’re on his side now.”

The list goes on, Beck said, including the financial cost of the endeavor and the possibility of dragging us into another war we don’t have the energy or resources for.

“Syria is not about teaching Assad a lesson. Two days of bombing probably won’t even seem out of place in Syria today, unfortunately,” he concluded. “Syria is not a response to the shock and horror of murder — hundreds of thousands have died… Syria is this — it is a sick opportunity for the globalist progressive revolutionaries in our own administration and all around the globe to remold the world closer to their heart’s desire.”

The big question could be whether the White House has come to a judgement on whether it’s worth waiting for the UK or not. One senior Whitehall figure talked about how the UK had “handed back its deputy sheriff badge” to the United States and would pay a heavy price in esteem and cooperation in the future with the US.

Another Whitehall source talked about how we may not be privy to the US plans of attack with decent notice if we look like not being a participant. We could be frozen out of the usual open lines of communication and down to a couple of hours’ courtesy notice before cruise missile attacks on Syria.

...Kerry was pathetic the other day.

He looked like a bloke who doesn't know what to do but has to pretend that he does in order to bolster the credibility of his office. Which is close to zero from what I can tell.

But perhaps such is seen as a demotion to poodle status?

Rep. Mike Rogers, the chair of the House intelligence committee, is making the case for intervention to CNN host Wolf Blitzer.

Rogers is insisting that the reputation of the United States, "60 years of speak softly and carry a big stick" as he confusingly puts it, is at stake. He says the US must back up its words with action. He says that Assad must be taught a lesson.

Blitzer asks Rogers why it always seems the United States is in the position of playing global cop. Rogers says other countries are deeply involved in Syria.

We won't be doing anything before the weapons inspectors report back.

Why do we have "trade links" with shitbags?

What about Agent Orange?
