#1 I kind of agree with Krauthammer. A token slap on Syria's wrist will embolden Iran.

Although I also think Iran's anti-Israeli rhetoric is just that, rhetoric.

But if Hezbollah start firing rockets at Israel, and Israel smacks them hard and hits Syria, Iran may respond against Israel with chemical weapons, and frankly Israel may feel now is the time for a couple of tactical nukes against Iran's nuclear program.

#2 Former anti-war protester (Kerry) and Nobel Peace Prize Awardee (Obama) pushing for US military action / intervention in a ME civil war.

Guess I'm just not smart enough or am distracted by "Clinging to my guns or religion" to see the justification....

#3 The Miscalculator in Chief, making a wrong call? What blasphemy. I generally listen closely to what the 'Hammer' has to say. A professional, psychiatric opinion is undoubtedly the correct approach when dealing with victims of lifelong narcissism.

We all know his speeches a full of "Me, Myself and I" but when he had that Photo Op Friday and said "His Military" it was all I could do to keep from throwing something through my 52" flat screen.

#5 Yes, always heartwarming to listen to these preppy, plastic, beltway folks who employ personal pronouns such as "I, me, we, us, our, ours" when referring to the tasks reserved for rough men who must remain ready to go into harm's way.

I despise these been nowhere, done nothing parasites, and their fungal, life sucking spawn.
