#1 Not for IRAN either???

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [POTUS Candidates]REPUBLICANS CLASH WID OBAMA ON IRAN RESPONSE.

Ironically, given how the 2012 GOP Candidates as portrayed as "pro-War" as per Iran, its in Iran's interest to ensure that the Bammer gets re-elected.

#2 "We're all outraged" by what's happening in Syria, she said. But Rice said the distinction between the situation in Syria and in Libya is that "there's not the clear-cut unified opposition (in Syria) that controls a clear piece of territory."

Translation:

We're rightsizing and no longer need our NATO partners in Afghanistan. Outcomes in Lybia had left a very bad aftertaste as well.

#5 Because Syria has stronger defenses, not because the cause is any less just if not more so?

It's not because our soldiers are too dumb to figure it out is it jawn?

#6 Quick, unleash a bunch of Free Syria bumperstickers! Just like the Free Tibet movement it will peacefully force a transfer of political power within a few generations.

#7 Kerry says stuff like this so when the US does get involved and it goes bad he can say "see I told you so".

By the way shouldn't he be filling up single size ketchup packs for his wife instead of commenting on Syria?
