Man 1: Thank you! Finally you're attacking our enemy, the socialist infidel Assad! Man 2: Only a little attack. With little bombs. Man 1: Why not big bombs? Man 2: You're crazy! You stone women and ban croissants and we don't want you to win! Man 1: So you want Assad to win? Man 2: Of course not. That's why we're bombing him! Man 1: It's a civil war. There are 2 sides. Man 2: We have commitment issues.

There should be an international response to Assad’s use of sarin gas on his people. The Turks, Jordanians & Russians are a lot more likely to be the next targets than the U.S., yet their leaders are unwilling to intervene.

Assad is going to use gas on neighboring countries now, Uncle Joe? Nonsense. Assad is fighting the CIA-trained radical Muslim rebels. You know, like the same CIA – MIddle Eastern trained movements that became Al Qaeda, or Saddam, or Gaddafi. Hmm…

Indeed, it doesn’t make sense. This was either the rebels, or a rogue officer acting on his own initiative, or a turncoat agent provocateur paid by Western intelligence.

We’re being rushed into war on false pretexts again folks. The rebels were caught with sarin gas a while back, they are just as likely (or more so) to have been responsible for the chemical weapons attack.
