What if Al Qaeda is Framing Assad in Syria? - Patriot UpdatePatriot Update
I don't know any more than you do, but, did you think about this? I did. Who's to gain? Who wants power the most? Syria...both of the factions there are proclaimed enemies of America. Right now they are both killing each other. Two enemies killing each other. Think about that. This is just another article to give us more to think about. Right now, I say no to attacking Syria. We don't really know what is happening there. The pictures were very sad and disturbing, but how many facts are being hidden by smoke and mirrors? Just thinking and throwing it out there. Can you really say that you know the truth?
"......as more information comes to light. Of course it's the info they want us to hear. My representative has not yet made up his mind but was actively seeking constituents' vote on this" Pls excuse the out of context quote, KH, but I think we are all in this boat. Congress, hopefully, is getting a little more information than we lowly citizens, however, I think I notice their indecision as well...so, if Congress is not convinced..maybe it's better to do nothing and wait a bit. If the U S starts this action, we will own it. Remember, it was one man, alone, who claimed he had a red line. From OA " They say the reason for action is the use of chemical weapons which the "World" has condemned... Well, where is the rest of the world now?"
Something really, really stinks here.
More of Four. Three was the "Cold War." Four is the Gulf War 1990-Present. Like WW2 with its precursors the Spanish Civil War and Sino-Japanese War, Four actually began earlier, as the Iran-Iraq War the two side of which different national governments sold weapons (North Korea to both sides, I think).
WW3 included Korea and Vietnam, but also the Cuban Revolution and Missile Crisis, and a dozen other episodes (China's bombardment of Quemoy and Matsu - First and Second Straits Crisis) that cannot be accepted as isolated incidents.
And those are just the World-Sized Wars. The Congo Wars (usually One and Two, but often just The) took more lives than World War Two and involved a dozen nations, but all African.
The Columbian Drug Wars do not get much attention. And it could be helpful to consider the Yugoslavian Wars just the final gasp in the European Civil War 1912-1992.
Here is a list of 20th century wars:

In truth, peace has yet to break out. The other day on the bus, I saw a guy reading _1984_.
After thinking bout it a little bit, I also think Obama may have given his song and dance about waiting on congressional approval to lure Assad into believing he has more time to move the WMDs around. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me strategically. I think there’s a bigger picture that we aren’t seeing yet. If I had to guess, I would guess the real issue is Iran. The military traffic over my head has been going on non-stop for two days now. Reminds of the build-up before we invaded Iraq.
