‘Pandora’s Box’: Kerry, Hagel Claim Inaction on Syria ‘Dangerous’ to US

Kerry started his political career by telling Congress that America has no business meddling in foreign civil wars.

If we don’t bomb Syria this week, next week Syrians will be wheeling heavy artillery all over Beverly Hills.

It is claimed that over the last three years, 100,000 people have died in the Syrian civil war. That is almost identical to the number of people who have died in the US in auto accidents during that same time period.

Over the past three years, approximately 1,000 people in the US have been killed by rifles. Obama and Bloomberg have devoted huge amounts of energy to getting rifles banned and confiscated, despite the fact that automobiles are 100 times more dangerous.

A warming of the planet resulting from pollution of the atmosphere will make drought much more frequent and storms much fiercer, new data presented today at a conference on climate change indicate.

Dr. James E. Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who presented recent data compiled from computer models, said that predicted regional effects of global warming show that the chances of summer drought in the low and middle latitudes would be 1 in 3 by the year 2030, as against 1 in 20 in the 1950’s.

Check back in three weeks for Obama’s latest big lie.

Senior officials in the Obama administration told the Washington Post for an article published on Tuesday that the White House is weighing a limited strike on Syria and said on condition of anonymity that “We’re actively looking at the various legal angles that would inform a decision.”

According to the Post, the likely response from Washington would be a sea-to-land strike from the Mediterranean that would last no longer than two days and would not be directed towards targets where the chemical weapons arsenal is believed to be stored.
