I haven't read the whole thread so if this has already been mentioned ignore it.

Anybody else wonder if we are being manipulated into war much like we were in Iraq? We are presented with certain "facts" and told this is true and these are the guys who did it, now lets go get them. While it might in fact be true, I don't have enough confidence in our government/military to believe them at face value anymore.

Nothing like giving the enemy a 2-3 week notice of impending attack. You know, so they can move all their stuff out of the way,lol.

They are lying their ass off and the entire world knows what their MO is.

So, now I'm concerned. During Desert Storm, we had the largest international coalition of countries, acting upon official UN sanctions. During Iraq Reloaded, we had a "coalition of the willing".

Now, we learn that Britain is not taking action unless and until the UN takes action. If we take action in Syria sans UN action, what is Obama going to call it - "a coalition of one"?

Wait, I know - "An Army of One"!

This whole situation is just trying to stuff 10lbs of shit into a 5lb sack.

The motion was only defeated by 13 votes and Cameron has 30 dissenters within his own party, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could convince 7 of them.

Until then you've always got the French.
