Syria

Obama and his handlers truly believe they can project his statement on everyone else and make it stick. And they'll refuse to believe any differently.

Actually, you guys aren't thinking outside the box on this. If you are going to meddle then MEDDLE! We should arm each side with a nuclear suitcase. Just make sure it's set to go off automatically if the GPS coordinates come within 100 miles of leaving the Syrian border.

That'll solve the problem for a while.

It's a sad, sad day when I trust Russia's leadership more than I trust our own.

I just watched "The Departed" on AMC last night. It had commentary tidbits that would pop up during the movie for trivia and info about the actors, director,etc.

One of the lines in particular that seem especially relevant was that Scorcese viewed Matt Damon's character as tragic because "he truly believes he can get away with everything"

Reagan however is the best thing this country has had in the White House in my lifetime. He wasn't perfect, but he was far better than anyone we've had since.

And judging by your latest comments, you must be the most extreme liberal I've ever had any interaction with and that's impressive. I have some liberal friends that amaze me, but I think you'd even shock some of them.

OMG! Have you ever heard of Iran/Contra and thats just the beginning

From Obama speech today in Sweeden before he headed out golfing. It is like we have the Obama who escaped from Bizarro World here. He is the Bizzaro World Harry Truman - "The buck never stopped on my desk"

I listened to him this morning in the car, believe it or not, on Sirrius 127. I almost drove the car off the road when he said that.

Your point? I said he wasn't perfect, but he's a hell of a lot better than your lord and savior Obama. Definitely better than both of the Bush's and definitely better than Clinton.

The best quote ever...

Comes from Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia....

"Elections have consequences."

That is all.

Really?

Iran-contra scandal,” despite an arms embargo, he illegally sold weapons to Iran to try to release U.S. hostages, using the money to fund the contra rebels fighting in Nicaragua,after Congress refused to authorize funding.

Reagan accepted responsibility for security lapses in the bombing of Marines barracks by an Islamic terrorist in Lebanon, killing 244 U.S. servicemen. He then turned tail and withdrew all troops in four months. (The Benghazi attack looks picayune in comparison.)

A HUD scandal resulted in 16 convictions for grant rigging

. Chief of staff Michael Deaver was fined $100,000 for lying to Congress as part of a lobbying scandal.

Twenty high-level EPA employees were fired for using political affiliations when rewarding or punishing employees

. Reagan ended his term with a budget deficit five times higher than what he inherited from Jimmy Carter, despite raising taxes at least seven times.

It would actually be refreshing to see the left actually stand up for their so-called principles instead of continuining to just swallow them, but it just shows you the character they really have.

The democratic senate pushes their war bill with breath taking speed. Evidently the democrats are War hungry. The resolution gives Obama a wide latitude to wage as big of war as he might want.

I'll give you the Contras and the budget, but most of the other things are not directly connected to Reagan and it appears they were dealt with harshly. You directly compare Lebanon with Benghazi, yet point out Reagan accepted responsibility. Unless I missed it I haven't heard anyone from Obama down take any responsibility for Benghazi.

There's corruption throughout DC and in all these bureaucracies many of the offenders likely span administrations, so it's difficult to pin them on one president or another unless connections can be made. The test I give a president is how he handles it once it is out in the open. Other than Obama getting out in front of the IRS non-profit scandal, I don't think he's handled any of the others as an honorable leader should.

Sorry, @RoyalShock:, accountability and responsibility have been deleted from the liberal dictionary. It is always someone else's fault.

There are some religious web sites (for instance, http://www.raptureforums.com/IsraelM...ndisaiah17.cfm) that are saying this could mark the end of Damascus, Syria. They quote Isaiah 17:1, The burden against Damascus.“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap." And also Isaiah 17:3b-4, "The kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the Lord of hosts.

So I'm guessing that these religious organizations want an attack to occur on Syria, either by the United States or by Israel. Damascus and Syria won't be destroyed at this time. There are other events that have to take place before any of this occurs.
