It's important to pay close attention to what this administration says. You have to pay close attention to what is actually said verses what they are implying. Here's a perfect example. This what John Kerry said about chemical weapons"found" in Syria. "I can share with you today that blood and hair samples that have come to us through an appropriate chain of custody from East Damascus, from first responders, it has tested positive for signatures of sarin," Kerry told CNN on Sunday. Notice he didn't say "tested positive for sarin". Anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry knows that compounds made of the same substance can be very different depending on the molecular structure. This is why a bomb sniffing dog can have many false positives, because some of the same ingredients used in explosives are also used in everyday items too. So finding "signatures" of sarin could be any chemical under the sun. Guess we'll have to wait for the full results from the U.N.

no, I don't support war in general in other countries,, under ANY president I do understand the whole 'global world' thing, how we are interconnected to other countries, and our role as 'allies' coming to defend others I don't have enough information to support the 'ally' position in this case,,,

PERFECT! or, how necessary they can be unless OBama is involved in them,,, works both ways honestly MH, do you support Obama striking Syria? As relating to the pic, the big contrast is Obama as a candidate ran on criticizing Bush on wars. Bush on the other hand never criticized Clinton for bombing Serbia - Croatia and Kosovo or the other Monica strikes against aspirin factories. So whether it's Bush, Clinton or Reagan, they never ran on an anti-war platform. That certainly distinguishes the irony.

Just precious! Love it Just as hilarious as the anti Atom Bomb posters by the 'Peaceniks'/ Beatniks of the 50's and 60's plus those that fun of those by the pro-Bomb and pro war groups. I had a great time doing posters for both sides starting with the Vietnam War. Many totally missed the humour and ironies...total airheads like the twit in this poster...
