Assad is truly a despicable monster. In a perfect world, a bolt of lightning would descend from the heavens and strike him dead, but not so quickly that he would not be aware of what was happening to him and why. This is not a perfect world. Here is one good case for saying "No" to the Incompetent in Chief's desperate attempt to get someone to extricate him from his self-designed dilemma. online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324577304579057420154706690.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTopAzWm |

The entire first and second paragraphs make dumb claims that are not substantiated.
The pope should have no more relevance in making international military decisions than I have.
The low approval from the US public has to do with Cheney/Rumsfeld/et al, and nothing more or less.
The administration does have a strategy - whether you and Peggy Noonan want to believe that we don't is up to you, I suppose.

I think the last 4.5 years have had something to do with how the public views the current administration. If the Obama team has a coherent, well-designed strategy, they are doing a good job of keeping it from the public. AzWm |

What are Assad's Critical Vulnerabilities that the TLAMs or B52s can affect? Do we know where his WMDs are located? Since, unlike Iraq, "regime change" is off the table, where is the Syrian regime's Center of Gravity that can be degraded or destroyed? My guess is the CoG for Syria is not Damascus, but Tehran. Just MHO. |

The administration does have a strategy - whether you and Peggy Noonan want to believe that we don't is up to you, I suppose. Would you care to lay out way the first two paragraphs are "dumb"? Seems to me pretty clear what has happened. The only reasonable question is who did it, Assad or the Rebels? Even that is a long shot for any answer but Assad. The Pope (with a Cap "P") Is making a case for humanitarian relief, although I do agree, that at least you, are irrelevant. The Bush Administration has nothing to do with the contempt for which the Obama Administration is held up to by foreign leaders. Regardless of the validity of the issue, Bush was able to garner partners in his initiatives. Obama can get no support. Just what is that strategy that Obama has? Just when will be come out of "dither mode" long enough to lay that plan out? You almost have to feel sorry (but not quite) for the weak willed little guy when you see him wring his hands and squirm at his press conference today. |

Haters continue to hate. I don't think hate is the right way to express current domestic and international feelings for Obama. His has earned this lack of respect and near irrelevance by his actions or inactions since coming into office. It is to the point that Kenny Allen supporters are being proven correct. |

I really don"t care who gassed who. I only care about staying the hell out of Syria and let them settle it. It's not worth one red cent of our money. Lert the Saudi's use their forces, not us. Of course, if we had our own energy supply program we wouldn't care about that part of the world other than Israel.

Lost on many, no doubt that you are right on the money, the IRGC specifically, IMO. Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards |

Haters continue to hate. Point of curiosity. In your opinion, if someone disagrees with a particular policy, be it political or otherwise, is it to be assumed that the contrary position is motivated, totally or in part, by hate? Are there no other reasons to hold an opposing opinion? AzWm |

So in this case... |
