Oh he's giggling, away with the ultimate troll face while observing the bumbling dumbfuckery coming out of this administration. Where's pamperhead to try and save his beloved president?

[Vertnut]

He's smarter than that.

Like a fox, which means he's waaay smarter than Barry and his entire administration.

[SS Junk]

Bowing out will lead to more blowback, you don't know what kind of deals we've worked out with the Saudis or their hired guns. I just wish Assad would do something really crazy like invading Kuwait so the rest of the world would back us.

He's smarter than that.

Jesus Christ, really.. This is all fucking bullshit. We need to get out now before we experience any more blow back.

US officials: US considers training Syria rebels

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering a plan to use U.S. military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the Syrian rebels, in a move that would greatly expand the current CIA training being done quietly in Jordan, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Any training would take place outside Syria, and one possible location would be Jordan.

The officials said no decision had been made, but that discussions were going on at high levels of the government. It comes as the Obama administration prods Congress to authorize limited military strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's government in retaliation for a deadly Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack.

The proposal to use the U.S. military to train the rebels — something the administration has resisted through more than two years of civil war — would answer the demands of some lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to do more to train and equip the Syrian opposition. President Barack Obama in June decided to provide lethal aid to the rebels, but so far none of that assistance has gotten to the opposition.

Officials said Thursday that talk about a military training mission has increased but that there have been no specific Pentagon recommendations forwarded to the White House on how big it should be or how many troops it should involve.

The CIA has been training select groups of rebels in Jordan on the use of communications equipment and some weapons provided by Gulf states. The new discussions center on whether the U.S. military should take over the mission so that hundreds or thousands can be trained, rather than just dozens.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plan publicly.

Maybe Russian and China should supply arms and training to the American rebels trying to overthrow their government.

Jeff Duncan Totally Rips John Kerry A "New One" At Syria Hearing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq2jHP6LH6I&feature=youtu.be

During House committee hearings relating to President Barack Obama's proposed intervention into the Syrian civil war, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) tore into Secretary of State John Kerry over the administration's "credibility problem" which he said stems from their response to the attack on a consulate in Benghazi. Duncan insisted that the White House's reluctance to provide support for American service personnel in Benghazi suggests that the House should not approve action in Syria and invite history to repeat itself. "I cannot discuss the possibility of the U.S. involvement without talking about Benghazi," Duncan began. "The administration has a serious credibility issue with the American people."

He produced a picture of Tyrone Woods, a slain Navy SEAL who lost his life in the Benghazi attack. He raised his voice describing how his constituents, including a class of 8th graders, told him that America has no national interest in intervening in the Syrian civil war.

"The same administration that was so quick to involve the U.S. in Syria now was reluctant to use the same resources at its disposal to attempt a rescue to four brave Americans that fought for their lives in Benghazi," he insisted.

Kerry replied forcefully. "I'm not going to sit here and be told by you that I don't have a set of — a sense of what the judgment is," he replied. "We are talking about people being killed by gas and you want to go talk about Benghazi and Fast and Furious."

"This is not about getting into the Syrian civil war," he continued "This is about enforcing the principle that people shouldn't be allowed to gas their citizens with impunity."

"And if we don't vote to do this, [Bashar] Assad will interpret from you that he's free to go and do this any day he wants to," Kerry concluded.

Simple answer? You kill everyone not speaking English or wearing a US uniform. If you're not one of us, you get killed. Make a nice clear radius around all forces.

That works for me. Personally, I think we should just turn around and come back home and let them fight it out on their own. I certainly wouldn't take sides with the savages. Our country is broke and can't afford another war. We should quit playing big brother. If the Saudis or anyone else wants war, then they should send their sheiks over there and let them fight.

WASHINGTON POST | September 04, 2013

Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesday’s hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily.

“With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes,” Kerry said. “They have. That offer is on the table.”

Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion.

“In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost,” Kerry said. “That’s how dedicated they are at this. That’s not in the cards, and nobody’s talking about it, but they’re talking in serious ways about getting this done.

So, they're willing to pay for our soldiers to die.

My vague reference to 9/11 and "in country" was here in Afghanistan. We have had a few developments over the last 2-3 weeks of not so dry, dry-runs they have taken at us. Perimeters being breeched in complex attacks and multiple suicide bombers getting onto the FOBs and penetrating deep in under the cover of indirect fire (rockets, mortars, RPGs lobbed). They, the bad guys have figured out a few things and it changes their tactics techniques and procedures in a way that has us (my department) bracing for the worst.

As far as what you are referring to. It sounds like budgetary use it or loose it which is normal for our government agencies. But I would not close my eyes completely to it.

I completely misunderstood you. When shit like that happens, do you guys just do your best to beef up security?

I do my absolute best to take the stuff I read/hear/watch with a grain of salt but there is a part of me that tends to ask "what's this about.

[KBScobravert]

Have you heard anything about some major even happening between October 1st and 31st? I try take what I read/see online with a grain of salt but I read a warning that a former South Dakota senator released to the people of America.
