Rather, Hersh says that it was strong opposition from a handful of patriotic Americans within the Pentagon which caused Obama to back down:

[Obama] didn’t do it [i.e. pull the plug on war with Syria] because the American people said no. He [backed down] because he didn’t have a case. And there was incredible opposition that will be, one of these days, written about, maybe in history books. There was incredible operation [sic] from some very, very strong-minded, constitutionally minded people in the Pentagon. That’s the real story.***

He didn’t do it [back down from a war against Syria] because of public opinion. He was willing to flout it, I think.

Thanks for the link Auh20. Hersh is a gem in his own ways & writings

One only has to look at Obama's advisers, the National Security Council, and all those 'War Leeching'; Institutes, Foundations, PACs, Lobbying firms, So-Called 'Education Scholars/Departments, & The Real Owners of America.

It's called the designed entrapment policy network...

Which explains why his military purges are continuing, I guess. :(

And how many of them have been eliminated now?

it is a fact that the Syrian Rebels are members of AlQaeda.



Isn't it a fact that the Syrian "Rebels" are supported by the CIA, the Mossad and Saudi Arabia?

I thought everyone in the military was the enemy.

Obama is like Michael Jackson behind World of Warcraft controls... two kids that never grew up.

This is really creepy and unacceptable.

Some one needs to investigate and write a report on the claims made in the build up to action in Syria regarding the rebels being the good guys, Assad to have ordered the gas attack, Obama responding to the will of the people in not attacking, and probably plenty of other misreadings and lies in a nice neat article. A type of what if article, proving how wrong an attack would have been and who was right in the debate and who was dead wrong.

Dunno, doesn't say much that they stood silent while Obama destroyed Libya and Bush destroyed Iraq.
