We are not only pre-announcing such an action, we are allowing all the time in the world for them to prepare just exactly what and how they will counter attack.
Then the only surprised people will be the pupetered mateurs in Washington.
Watching the hearings today should be an embarassment for any thinking American.
If there are 70-90% of Americans against doing anything then why do the so called representatives need to continue the debate.
Ooops I forgot they did the same thing with Obamascare when 60% of Americans were against it.
If you have strong feelings one way or the other then you are not helping the American system work if you have not contacted your representatives in Wahington........we can at least try to get them to represent us.

It was a bit embarassing, I do agree.....I am really torn.
What was embarassing is how this has been bungled....not sure if I can say ALL...but close to ALL foreign affairs, but this Syria thing. Hearing Kerry say they know, we all suspected, that there were other chemical attacks for which we did not even get upset and did nothing including even condemn them. Hearing him backtrack a number of times about boots on the ground. He DID however come back to it a few times to make a point about no boots, but left me wondering why the intial wandering around. The whole thing is a mess.
I surely would love to say....the heck with it, but I am one who thinks we need to support the President...he may not be the guy I want, but still the President. I think politics was played to get to this point big time and that makes me mad, but I think we still have to support him and he has put his neck out there.
Did you hear, and this was an open hearing, how we have been screwing up the aid and support for the rebels....do you hear Kerry differentiate between the rebels by region ? What a mess this is......to me, it shows you cannot ignore it and hope it all goes away. Next President will need to address the neighboring area which has been ignored. No wonder, after hearing today, that Israel is ticked.....cannot imagine what they will hear in the private meetings.
The last few years have left us so poorly respected that this is something I think we need to do or as bad as it is now, the perception will become worse. What a mess to even get to today.....what a tangled web.
