Eeeeee…. I sincerely hope that Assad won’t go that route. Those bombs would damage the environment there, not just the people….

Ya we’re all worried about the Syrian Brown Squirrel……
Btw maybe O can whisper something about the election being over to his buddy Putin and avoid this.

Assad, twin brother of Saddam? O has given the wink-wink-nod-nod to using Sarin gas on his own people.
We have our own problems, like not having a law mandated budget for America.

Saddam used sarin gas on his own people. While the UN and the USA were fooling around for 6 months, all of Saddam’s sarin gas was shipped to Syria. So….Syria has copius amounts of sarin gas.

“Assad, twin brother of Saddam? O has given the wink-wink-nod-nod to using Sarin gas on his own people.”
I usually don’t wade into the insulting fray here, but I can understand how people berate you on these pages. That is one of the dumbest remarks I’ve seen you post and you do post some stupid comments. Is it your stated purpose to look stupid or just alienate everyone to your supposed political stance? You have zero credibility here, you do realize that don’t you? Sheesh, such a moron…

Given Mr. Ima’s insane remark about our President condoning the use of poison gas against human beings, I request that the gocomics moderators remove him from this forum.
Enough is enough.

The 1st amendment applies when government tries to suppress speech. A private web site is another matter.

Maybe we should let Ms. Ima rant all he/she/it wants, as an object lesson to show what you get when you listen to FAUX Noise!
If we can spare ONE innocent person the horror of Billow Reilly, and Rusty Lamebrain’s insane ravings, it will be worth it!

There is absolutely no evidence that Saddam sent truckloads of Sarin to Syria for safekeeping. None. Also, all chemical agents have a relatively short lifespan. They degrade in a few years, unlike nuclear materials. Sarin is not all that difficult to manufacture, and requires no obvious buildings that can be attacked. If Assad has Sarin or mustard gas, he most likely manufactured them himself.

@Ms. Ima
Do you understand the difference between having a budget and having a debt ceiling? The budget is passed by Congress (not the President) and it is their responsibility to propose the spending. The debt ceiling is a cap on how much the country can spend, and has nothing to do with the budget. The debt ceiling has to do with paying our bills, the ones the Congress agreed to in their last budget, not in planning a new budget.

Republicans STILL think they are entitled to their own facts.

It’s a conditioned response drilled into them by years of constant brainwashing by FAUX Noise, and their mantra of: “Don’t confuse me with the facts and the truth, my mind’s ALREADY made up! Rush, Billow, and Hannity have TOLD me what to think”
