UK, U.N. and U.S. get jitters over Syria

Going it alone against the Syrian government is not what President Barack Obama wants, U.S. Secretary of State Chuck Hagel said Friday. But that scenario is looking more and more likely.

A day earlier, the United States' closest ally, Great Britain, backed out of a possible coalition. A U.N. Security Council meeting on Syria ended in deadlock, and in the U.S. Congress, doubts about military intervention are making the rounds.

Skeptics are invoking Iraq, where the United States government under President George W. Bush marched to war based on a thin claim that former dictator Saddam Hussein was harboring weapons of mass destruction.

Well, lets see, E=MC squared. And if you can travel the speed of light, you can travel back in time.
The trianular square of an optose angle with a paralell linear perpendeculiar line that has a positive correlation to its density is always negative provided it is has not occured in the weekend.

CNN. WRITES: Skeptics are invoking Iraq, where the United States government under President George W. Bush marched to war based on a thin claim that former dictator Saddam Hussein was harboring weapons of mass destruction.: Yes. This is true, just like George W. Bush hasn't been President of the United States well over 4years and is not part of the current ruling class regime. Oh, and former dictator Saddam Hussein? He wasn't just a former dictator, but he is way dead. So? How is this relevant to the U.K., U.N. and U.S. getting the jitters over Syria. Part of my "Just Say'in" series.

  @ jeff frank. The reason GW started the war was because he had a grudge against saddam plus he had and has a massive ego. U see bud, saddam put a hit on his daddy, so little george wanted to even up the score.

  Because the aberration that was the Iraq war affects those nations today, and they don't want to engage in another pointless war. Is that difficult to understand?

  If I lived in a place like Iraq and one day, some good libertarians lifted 50 years of tyranny off my back? I'd be overwhelmed and wouldn't know how to act. You think people should "be" someones puppet where someone pulls your strings and runs your life. The discussion is Syria? Not Iraq. Not Bush. Syria.

  An expert? O.K. Rupert. I think it's safe to say al Bashar Assad is not a very friendly dude. I think we can concur when we see his reciept for $3 billion from Russia for one crap load of arms (including maybe chemical kind). He wants to exterminate roaches (towels under the name al Queda). O.K.? And they want to play underhand softball with the U.N. and the Brits playing pitty party screaming chemical weapons. Right so far? So. Rupert it is your conviction then there are no "innocents" getting killed in this vile conflict. And you are so convinced these kinds will never wind up in your back yard. Just Say'in.

  You are very right, and I will give you that. It is. A very dangerous, and unpredictable world. We would need a very very good reason to intercede.
