RR As far as I know we have only used Drones on countries we are at war with? The situation in Syria is too mucked up for me? Vital we stay out. Comrade B In a message dated 8/30/2013 11:00:19 A.M.

If another country attacked the U.S. with a drone it would be considered an act of war, yet Obama has ordered many such attacks on other countries, all by executive order and without the approval of Congress.- So did Bush, which proves that both parties are controlled by the same people. Speaking of drones, why doesn't Obama just send in a drone to take out Assad? Obviously it's not about Assad at all but about conquering Syria. Like him or not, Assad is the democratically elected leader of Syria and is popular with most of his people, just like the democratically leader of Egypt had to be taken out by the army who is being funded (illegally now after the coup) by Obama. Just heard on the news that Russia has sent 5 destroyers into the area that have the ability to shoot down cruise missles. Cruise missles are subsonic and can easily be shot down with airplanes or other missles. They only work on countries that have no defenses. Same with drones. I don't think the dumbasses that are running the country (think Stanley) have any idea what a war against a real enemy is like. What I do know is that the U.S. has made a lot of enemies in the world who, along with Israel, would like to see us taken down, and when that happens the retribution will be great. That being the case my biggest worry is that Obama has painted himself into a corner. If he backs down he will look weak and the U.S. economy collapse and countries begin dumping the Dollar. If he goes ahead he risks WWIII and the almost certain destruction of Israel, since it is such a small country that it wouldn't take much, one suitcase nuke in Tel Aviv would do the trick. -RR -----Original Message----- From: "schalestock@xxxxxxxx" Sent: Aug 30, 2013 7:34 AM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: Syria intervention even less popular than Congr ess <ZZZHT Not that it really means anything, but it has been determined that if Obama launches strikes without Congressional approval, it becomes an impeachable offense.

They will keep up economic sanctions and sending in mercenaries until there is a retaliation, or they will stage a false flag attack to use as an excuse, because if the United States is attacked the Constitution allows the President to declare war without the approval of Congress. When it was discovered that the "evidence" of Saddam's WMD's was fabricated what was the punishment? None. They will do whatever it takes because they know they are immune from the law. And what they will do to foreigners they will also do to their own citizens. Welcome to the totalitarian police state. Welcome to Hell. -RR -----Original Message----- From: "schalestock@xxxxxxxx" <schalestock@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Aug 30, 2013 4:55 AM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: Syria intervention even less popular than Congress RR What is really going to be interesting is what Obama does now given the polling data AND the fact that the UK has bowed out.

Reuters poll shows that only 9% of Americans approve of a military strike on Syria, which is even less than the approval rating of Congress. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/08/26/new-poll-syria- intervention-even-less-popular-than-congress/ Does the government really believe that the American public have forgotten about the "proof" they had that Iraq had WMD's that they used as an excuse to start a war that killed as many as 1 million people and cost trillions of dollars and which later turned out to have been a hoax? I guess they figure that if it worked the first time then it should work again.
