Syria-Lebanon-Iran
France says it could take military action in Syria without Britain

#29  * See also MIDDLE EAST ONLINE > HOLLANDE: SYRIA STRIKE COULD COME BY WEDNESDAY, when the French Parliament formally meets in emergency Syria session.

* RELATED JAPAN TIMES > OBAMA PREPARES TO GO IT ALONE ON SYRIA IFF NECESSARY, after the UK opts out of participation in any MilAction agz Baby Assad.

* DAILY STAR LEBANON > NATO WILL NOT TAKE PART IN SYRIA STRIKE.

* AL-ARABIYA > [Turkey's] ERDOGAN WANTS SYRIA REGIME CHANGE[remove Assad], NOT LIMITED STRIKES.

Again, iff the Bammer is covertly supporting or adhering to the Globalist agenda of a OWG + "Multipolar World" dominated by MULTIPLE GLOBAL "CO-SUPERPOWERS", THEN THE BRITS, GERMANY, + NATO MAY ACTUALLY BE MAKING THE "SMART MOVE" BY NOT JOINING THE US IN COALITION SINCE THE OBAMA-LED US WILL BE ATTACKING SYRIA [Iran = NucProg?] TO BE DEFEATED OR DETRIMENTALLY STALEMATED, HUMILIATED IN SUPPORT OF EMPOWERING + PROMOTING FUTURE OWG "CO-SUPERPOWERS" IRAN + CHINA, ETAL???

#28  Knock out a few planes, ammo depots, and make some runways unusable for a while, will level the playing field a bit.

#27  Don't fergit the Crusades, espec the France-based Knights Templars + other.

IMO the greater worry is alleged Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist Obama's support or adherence to a OWG-NWO where so-called OWG Global Federal Unions are dominated or controlled by one or more US-style "Co-Superpowers" - by this scope, iff one believes that the post-9-11 USA is the "tip of the spear" in setting up OWG = Space Govt-Order, then its possible that it is the Bammer's = USA's interests to ENSURE THAT SHIA IRAN BECOMES THE WORLD'S FIRST DE FACTO ISLAMIC SUPERPOWER, + THAT CHINA DE FACTO GETS 1/2 OR MORE OF THE PACIFIC INCLUD INDIAN OCEAN REGIONS.

The above in turn infers that for other World States or Great Powers to become a Globalist "Co-Superpower" in the US mode, THE SUPERPOWER USA PER SE MUST UNILATERALLY GIVE UP POWER-N-INFLUENCE/AUTHORITY IN SELECT OR RELEVANT REGIONS.

OBAMA'S JOB THEN BECOMES MAKING THE LOSS OF US POWER-N-INFLUENCE/AUTHORITY ACCEPTABLE OR REASONABLE TO THE US MAINSTREAM = VOTERS.

E.G. ...
> THE US CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO GO TO WAR = ENGAGE IN ANY SORT OF PROTRACTIVE OR LIMITED MILITARY ACTION.
> THE SEQUESTER = ONGOING DEBT, BUDGET CRISES.
> THE AMERICAN = AMERIKAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WAR = WAGING THE GWOT, + "ITS TIME TO END IT".

SEVEN [or More?] OWG GLOBAL NUCLEAR "CO-SUPERPOWERS" FOR SEVEN CONTINENTS = SEVEN OWG GLOBAL FEDERAL UNIONS.

OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO SYRIA OR IRAN OR AGZ CHINA TO KILL, HE'S GOING THERE TO INTENTIONALLY BE KILLED = UNILATERALLY BUT PCORRECTLY-DENIABLY SACRIFICE US POWER + CREDIBILITY, IN THE NAME OF THE MARXIST-ANARCHIST-GLOBALIST AGENDA.

Lest we fergit, "STAR WARS" PREQUEL BABE PADME AMYGDALA = "SO THIS IS HOW FREEDOM/DEMOCRACY ENDS - WID APPLAUSE" = ys-yes-Yes-YES-YYYESSS ........@ETC. WILD MASS PUBLIC/VOTER APPROVAL!

HUGS + KUMBAYAH.

#23  Crazy how Barry has spent the last 5 years snubbing the British, then get pissy when they are not interested in Valerie and BO's Excellent Adventure.

I don't get France's interest. Libya, yes. Syria, why?

#22  Totally agree with you Rambler so why do Obama and France want to get involved?
Posted by: Paul D   2013-08-30 17:44  

#21  Paul, both are equally bad. That is why I am in favor of sitting back, watching both sides bleed each other white, and waiting until they are both gone.

#19  Which side are worse the Sunni Jihadis or the Assad regime?
Posted by: Paul D   2013-08-30 16:25  

#18  The way I understand it the President has all the lee-way in the world to take military action for something like 90 days after which he must request Congress approval. If he can be done before then he can ignore Congress.

#17  I noticed is Kerry's news conference today he mentioned the "mistake of Iraq" in ref to WMD. Perhaps someone should introduce him to the work of Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha al-Azawi.

#16  If he orders a strike without Congressional approval, is the order legal?

I dunno. Might be a good question.

#14  Chancing a conflict with the Russian navy over what? Absolute total insanity, but then again it is the Champ, and a 'crisis' is needed.
Posted by: Besoeker   2013-08-30 12:16  

#13  And that corner is getting very tight. If he orders a strike without Congressional approval, is the order legal? If the order is refused, what action would be taken? If a court martial, could the defendant ask for removal to civilian court because of undue command influence? How would SCOTUS deal with that? Lots of bad things can happen and not all in the Middle East.

#12  The Brits exercised a bit of common sense yesterday. I suspect that even most donks in our Congress would have better sense if Obama allowed them to vote on it which is most likely why he won't. That's really stupid because it would give him a face saving way out of the corner into which he's painted himself. But we can always count on the Champ to do the dumbest thing possible.

#11  Let's tell the French to attack The Saudis to throw the Russkies off their battle plan.
Posted by: Airandee   2013-08-30 11:43  

#10  Hey if Saudi wants this so bad... they got a lot of weapons.. including planes... they can get some military experience. After all it is a Sunni Shia proxy war.

#9  then smuggly told Obummer they are right behind him.

Obastard can't allow that! How could he then lead from behind?

It's a race for the s#!tty end of the horse.
