General Wesley Clark: Because I had been through the Pentagon right
after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I
saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went
downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff
who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said,
"Sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second."
By Michael Snyder: The Obama administration seems absolutely determined to help radical Islamic jihadists that have beheaded Christians, that have massacred entire Christian villages, and that have pledged loyalty to al-Qaeda
topple the Assad regime and take over Syria. Yes, the Assad regime is
horrible, but if these jihadist lunatics take control it will
destabilize the entire region, make the prospect of a major regional war
much more probable, and plunge the entire nation of Syria into a
complete and utter nightmare. It has been estimated that somewhere
around 100,000 people have already been killed in the civil war in
Syria, and now it looks like the U.S. military and the rest of NATO plan
to become directly involved in the conflict. The Obama administration
is actually considering an attack on Syria even though the American
people are overwhelmingly against it, Obama does not have Congressional
approval to start a war, and he will never get approval for military
action from the UN because it will be blocked by Russia. This is setting up to become a colossal foreign policy disaster for the United States.
