And is probably a lot higher.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Members of congress are reporting calls into their offices as running up to 90% negative on attacking Syria and those that deigned to have meetings with their constituents were basically ripped apart for their support of Der Fubar\u2019s planned destruction of a buinch of tents and a few camels. Now we have Secretary of State John \u201cLiveshot ((<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/focus\/f-news\/1730006\/posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why Howie Carr calls Kerry Liveshot<\/a>))\u201d Kerry announcing to the world that any strike would be \u201cUnbelievably small.\u201d In a story in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/world\/were-not-talking-about-war-kerry-outlines-unbelievably-small-strike-on-syria\/article14184543\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Globe and Mail<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States is considering only an \u201cunbelievably, small, limited\u201d strike on Syria as punishment for allegedly using chemical weapons and he insisted military action will not end that country\u2019s civil war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So we are going to whack Assad over the nose with a rolled up newspaper and say \u201cBad Dog! Bad!\u201d?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to war,\u201d Mr. Kerry told reporters Monday after meeting with British Foreign Secretary William Hague in London. \u201cWe will be able to hold [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad accountable without engaging troops on the ground or any other prolonged kind of effort, in a very limited, very targeted, very short-term effort that degrades his capacity to deliver chemical weapons without assuming responsibility for Syria\u2019s civil war. That is exactly what we are talking about doing; an unbelievably small, limited kind of effort.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, why bother? Oh, I know, this is all about protecting that SCoaMF, Obama, from looking like a complete fool. Sorry, To Late!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr. Kerry acknowledged the difficult task he and President Barack Obama will have in getting Congress to approve a military strike on Syria. He recognized many people are opposed to the U.S. getting involved in another war because of the fallout from the invasion of in Iraq in 2003, which was based largely on incorrect intelligence about weapons of mass destruction. And he said Syria\u2019s civil war will not be settled through military means.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Actually, it\u2019s not so much that. (Although it is a part of it), as that no one sees any reason to attack Syria. Are they a threat to the United States? No. Are the holding Americans hostage? Nope. Have they threatened the United States? Only insofar as Obama and his stooges have been threatening Syria.<\/p>\n<p>When Bush asked to go into Iraq, he went to the UN, Congress and the people of the United States and laid out his reasons for doing so. Saddam Hussein was a threat to the United States, had been firing on American Aircraft for years, and had initiated a plot to assassinate George Bush Sr. Now, a lot of the intelligence we had was wrong, and there is no doubt that the Bush administration utterly botched the occupation, but at the time, we thought it was the right thing. In Syria? Nope it isn\u2019t the right thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr. Kerry also responded to comments President Assad made in an interview with CBS which is scheduled to be broadcast Monday. During the interview, President Assad denied he was behind the chemical weapons attack last month and rejected the evidence put forward by the Americans and other countries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is some serious questions being raised about the alleged attack. First, there are allegations that the attack was an accidental release by the \u201cRebels\u201d and not by the Assad regimes troops ((<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mintpressnews.com\/witnesses-of-gas-attack-say-saudis-supplied-rebels-with-chemical-weapons\/168135\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack<\/a>)). Then there are reports that the attack was done by a local commander without authorization by Assad ((<a href=\"http:\/\/world.time.com\/2013\/09\/09\/report-claims-syrian-troops-used-chemical-weapons-without-assads-approval\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Report Claims Syrian Troops Used Chemical Weapons Without Assad\u2019s Approval<\/a>)).<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Jacques Francois Kerry ((<i><b>So called because of his penchant to support Europe ahead of the United States<\/b><\/i>)) has been all over the place claiming that he has provided \u201cHard Evidence\u201d that Assad ordered the attack. There has been just one tiny problem. He hasn\u2019t told us just what that \u201cHard Evidence\u201d is ((<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150713222957\/http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2013\/09\/07\/us-syria-crisis-attack-idUSBRE98603A20130907\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Direct link between Assad and gas attack elusive for U.S.<\/a>)). Additionally, there is no way Assad is just going to ride out an attack on his forces if the United States fires on them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Assad also threatened retaliation if there is a military strike.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the things that King Putt hasn\u2019t talked about is just what Syria could do. First, there is defense. Assad\u2019s forces have a good Air Defense system. If Obama launches cruise missiles, there is a chance the Syrians might see them coming in and be able to intercept them. If Obama launches airstrikes, then we could lose planes and pilots. Then there is the little problem of the SS-N-25 antiship missiles Assad has. As <a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=12912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I mentioned in another post<\/a>, these missiles could get through our ships defenses and do a hell of a lot of damage.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat kind of threat is nothing different from the threat we face every single day,\u201d Mr. Kerry said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t stand up to it, we\u2019ll face it more and they will think they can intimidate anybody. I don\u2019t believe that we should shy from this moment. The risk of not acting is greater than the risk of acting. And everybody needs to stop and think about that hard.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, there is no risk to the United States by not acting. None at all. There is a far greater risk to us if we DO attack Syria. First, we do little to no damage to Assad, and basically show the world once again what a weak and useless fool Obama and his minions are. Second, Assad may retaliate in any number of ways. He could fire the antiship missiles he has and damage or sink some of our warships, or he might even smuggle some of his troops into the United States with orders to go after Obama. (For instance, a mortar attack on the White House, an ambush of the Presidential Motorcade with the Limo hit and destroyed by RPG\u2019s, assassinations of members of Congress and\/or their families, etc)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, anything we do will help the Al Qaeda forces fighting Assad in Syria. Last I looked, Al Qaeda was our enemy. There is only one real reason we are doing this. It\u2019s to protect Obama\u2019s reputation, nothing more.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry\u2019s description of any potential attack as being \u201cUnbelievably miniscule\u201d is perfect. He is subconsciously describing Obama\u2019s manhood. Now you know why Michelle Obama has a perpetual scowl on her face. I will not back a military strike on Syria to assuage Barack Obama\u2019s ego.<\/p>\n<p>No Blood for Ego!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/408268_10151032745964024_764529608_n.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8951\" alt=\"In your guts...\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/408268_10151032745964024_764529608_n-300x292.jpg?resize=164%2C163\" width=\"164\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/408268_10151032745964024_764529608_n.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/408268_10151032745964024_764529608_n.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=164%2C163&amp;ssl=1 328w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-12941\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"cce06d37d9\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12941_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12941, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12941_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12941, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12941_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12941, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12941_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12941, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12941_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12941, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>1<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>1.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_12941_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-12941-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expected, Il Douche\u2019s \u201cMarch to War\u201d is looking more and more like a stumbling shamble off a cliff.
