The prisoners, seven in all, were captured Syrian soldiers. Five were trussed, their backs marked with red welts. They kept their faces pressed to the dirt as the rebels’ commander recited a bitter revolutionary verse.

Anyone who thinks we won't be starting WWIII by intervening in Syria hasn't been reading their tea leaves. Barry Soetoro would rather plunge us into war than lose face.

The U.S. government position on military action in Syria is baffling. The complete disconnect is simply amazing.
