Not sure what the capability of the Syrians is in terms of their electronic warfare capability. Can they really affect the military communication systems? No idea. Hacking the NY times and Twitter is a bit different than hacking the military, at least I sure as hell hope so.

I would imagine the Israelis would know something about their capabilities. I suspect if the capabilities are even a remote threat, they probably know how to shut them down as well.

I have been wondering a bit if Israel had anything to do with the slow down of the threatened attack. Did they need more time to prepare? Do they have an alternative idea? Are they going to help behind the scenes? Israel does share a border so I think it stands to reason that they have quite an intimate knowledge of Syria.

Good point to ponder.

Advertising the attack sites beforehand, British voting down action, JCS asking WTF with all the advertising of the game plan and Obama's total lack of experience in government and public sentiment did it.

I hope Congress votes it down........you guys voted in a bunch of Stooges.

Obama and the Foreign Policy Amateur Hour.

What if your repubilican heros vote YES Dell....is this still Obama's problem? Maybe it will be better recieved if he offers up a tax cut to not pay for THIS war.

I take your nonresponse to mean that you would back an attack on Syria.

I covered it in post 110.

Someone posted an interesting supposition on a different forum. In a nut shell, keep Assad wondering what is going on and when. Make him waste resources trying to protect his assets. From what I understand most of his air force is in Iran. Now he has ten days or so to sweat it out not knowing what is going to happen, if it will happen.

Bring it on, we need terror on mainstreet USA.

Already Assad has pre-positioned children and prisoners around hard targets.

1) It's kinda funny watching some of the people who complained about Bush invading Iraq for no good reason now being put in the position of having to try and defend Obama's fkups here.

That second link just proves that Chris Matthews is an absolute idiot. I've stood in the gas chambers at Dachau. Maybe he needs to be a little more educated, eh?

2) Comparing Assad with Hitler and Hussein is ridiculous in that they actually went to war with and/or invaded their neighbors. Right now, the only threat that Assad has proven to be is one of really poor judgement in using chemical weapons on his own citizens... Hitler invaded several countries before deciding to start gassing the Jews, and not only gassed those of Germany, but those of the countries he invaded. Likewise, Hussein gassed Iranians.

Gassing people to death is horrific, but a binary comparison of the two situations just isn't reasonable.

3) Having a Shia minority leadership with a Sunni majority population has never ended well... This is not just a civil war, but one of religious sects, which is all the more reason to stay out of there. 85% of the worlds' Muslims are Sunni, which is all the more reason to expect the Arab League to take action, instead of the UN or another coalition...

4) I'm all for putting up a defensive line to protect Turkey and Israel. But there's no need to step one inch over the border. Let someone else lead that coalition.

5) I suspect the only France wants to see action taken is because they're closer to Assad than any other country outside the region. Time to say "you're pacifists when it's convenient, but not so much when there's money to be made..." and also thank them for their lack of support in Iraq...

WEll....I don't support going into Syria...just as I didn't support going into Iraq. What I find funny is how the right is using pretty much the same arguments the left used back in 2003.

You guys elected this bum with stars in your eyes and this far into the Obama Experiment, are seeing what little, if nothing he brings to the table. Foreign policy and respect for the US since he was elected are at an all time low. Carter was a bumbling fool but this guy takes the cake.

Remember, Obama told you he wasn't Presidential material......
