The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men.

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.


And why the hell are we thinking about this again???

Don't forget about the NSA spying. That one was all over the news and has vanished.

In other news.. Putin tells Oblowme he'll put a missle shield system in syria.. which if you ask me means they've already started.

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.

There are those in and outside the US gov that have a vested interest in endless war/conflict.
