Was it all I expected?

[jct74]

Missed it.

Was it all I expected?

pretty much, it was only for 3 or 4 minutes maybe. walked off without answering any questions from reporters.

[AngryCanadian]

What did he say?

[Anti-Neocon]

One word the media hasn't been using - "bombing". It carries too negative a connotation and they obviously want us to support Obama's Nobel Peace bombs. When discussing this in public, use the b-word.

[AngryCanadian]

LOL

and equip the Syrian opposition, who are the best counterweight to Isil and the Assad

This will fail on a epic scale. Grab your popcorns.

[HOLLYWOOD]

What did he say?

Same nonsense, just like Dubya... blurb and walk tall... exit stage left

The neocons are doing just that.

They won their PR battle, and now Obama being the spineless politician he is, follows their lead.

What did he say?

Let me summarize: "Blah blah blah..."

[HOLLYWOOD]

He said something about Tomahawk cruise missiles and campaign donations... BUY Raytheon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raytheon)/McDonnell Douglas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas) stock options :rolleyes:

[Uriah]

Back door to take out Assad and install puppet. IS is a minority sentiment given undue strength via acts by the west. The west created the monster and now use it to achieve their goal. War by any name is never in the interest of the common people. Those that promote war are not to be trusted.

[bunklocoempire]

More false pride, more fear, more entangling alliances, and more lip service to "peace and security".

[ClydeCoulter]

Courage? It's a damn turkey shoot from thousands of feet away! :mad:

[Carlybee]

From the comments I've seen in various places, the Fearmongering has worked. The MIC wins again and the majority of Congress is complicit. I don't see any victories for non intervention among Republicans and certainly not among Dems. Disgusted with it all.

Maybe not the best plan...

Tomahawk Cancellation an Error of Defense Strategy and Alliance Policy

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2014/04/tomahawk-cancellation-an-error-of-defense-strategy-and-alliance-policy

Earlier this month, the U.S. Navy announced that it will stop buying Tomahawk cruise missiles in fiscal year (FY) 2016 and will seek to field a replacement within a decade.

This decision is an error of both defense strategy and alliance policy. Congress should reject the Navy’s plans and require that it continue to buy a sufficient number of Tomahawks annually to keep production lines open and unit costs affordable until a replacement can be effectively deployed into service and until Britain and Australia (which use or plan to use the Tomahawk), after close consultation with the U.S., are satisfied that the replacement will affordably offer them capabilities that are equivalent or superior to those of the Tomahawk.
U.S. Navy Plans to End Tomahawk Purchases

On March 4, Navy spokeswoman Lieutenant Caroline Hutcheson publicly confirmed that the Navy had made substantial reductions in the number of Tomahawks it planned to purchase.[1]

In FY 2014, the Navy bought 196 Tomahawks, but in its proposed budget for FY 2015, the Navy plans to buy only 100 missiles and none thereafter. Instead, it will shift investment to a next-generation system and, beginning in FY 2019, will establish a recertification program for its stockpile of approximately 4,000 missiles.

^^^^OK, so Obama and the military can only do what they did last night 99 more times until 2019. The middle east can breath a collective sigh of relief sometime between Christmas and New years this year. What's left of it by then, anyway.
