The Obama Administration’s sudden announcement last night that it has discovered the Syrian government used chemical weapons and thus crossed the “red line” is pretty unconvincing.
The Administration provided no evidence, no new information, and no explanation of why the intelligence community’s assessment of just three months ago that chemical weapons had not been used by the Syrian government has changed so dramatically.
What changed? They won’t tell us. The Administration spokesman who made the announcement would only say that they have a “high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information.” What are those streams of information? They won’t tell us.
It reminds me of a decade ago, when another presidential spokesman came forward to tell us:
“But make no mistake -- as I said earlier -- we have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and it is about. And we have high confidence it will be found.”
That was President Bush’s spokesman Ari Fleischer speaking about Iraq in early 2003.
Those who have been shown this evidence are not too impressed. An aide to Russian President Putin said today that the US side “tried to present us with information on the use of chemical weapons by the regime, but frankly we thought that it was not convincing.”
The Administration has announced that based on this new information, it would begin providing weapons to the Syrian opposition. This is of course another stretch of the truth, as it is well known that the Administration has been facilitating the transfer of weapons to the Syrian rebels for quite some time. The CIA is training the rebels in Jordan. The New York Times and other major media have reported on this numerous times.
But it is true that President Obama is taking us further toward war in Syria. And it is true that again Congress is taking no role in the matter, beyond the usual cheerleading by warhawks like McCain and Lindsey Graham.
Perhaps the Obama administration, seeing the multitude of scandals that have broken over the past several weeks, has decided to take a page from Bill Clinton, who famously bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan on August 20, 1998, just three days after he was forced to appear at a grand jury hearing investigating the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
I will have more on this developing news on Sunday in my weekly column. You can subscribe to my column here .

This entire CSing regime should be indicted for treason.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Those two sob's who have never heard of anyone else's business they didn't want to get us involved in should be right in front leading the charge. Of course McCain is senile and Lady Lindthey might break a nail so of course he can't do anything but promote the war. Bastards. Paul Craig Roberts
I see no need for a real trial. A kangaroo court would suffice. I guess Russia will get to try out their S-300 missile systems. And Iran will get to test their supercavitating 200+ MPH torpedoes against aircraft carriers. Iraq will blow up, Afghanistan will blow up, and Arlington National Cemetery will fill up. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll
Great, so WWIII is on. Wanna guess who the bad guy is?
Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. No sense in wasting kangaroos' time. Get a rope. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Yes, string 'em all up. Every lamp post in D.C. needs to have a politician/federal judge swinging from it.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

I want to have some fun with them first. But I like the rope idea. I think recycling is the right thing to do.

Probably Obama got word that the Israeli lobby was about to pull the birthplace card. What changed?

The FAS freedom fighting AQ rebels have just advised Bammy to shove his small arms where the sun don't shine. The rebels are demanding that Bammy give them heavy duty artillery. Honestly you can't make this shiite up.

Why not just ask him for a nuke? If the ones asking are "the right color" he will probably send them one or two.

He'd have to clear nukes with Valerie, and Michelle, and Susan Rice. That type of Man Pants decision making is above Bammy's pay grade. Why not just ask him for a nuke? If the ones asking are "the right color" he will probably send them one or two.

I wonder what the kossacks and demundergrounders and nesters are saying about their Nobel Peace Prize Winning Hero getting us into yet another useless war. I can't peek at their sites - I've already had my shower for the day. Anyone at 4um willing to do some dumpster diving at progressive blogs?

Speaking only for myself, no, I will not subject myself to the idiocy of Obama supporters. A small dose of it on youtube once in a while is quite sufficient for me. Anyone at 4um willing to do some dumpster diving at progressive blogs?
