Vote at Whitehouse.gov if you want to delay military action against Syria

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/delay-military-action-against-syria-until-un-weapons-inspectors-verify-use-chemical-weapons/H7HhSSlm

"The Obama administration has indicated that they may soon take military action against Syria in reaction to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons. We believe that the United States Government, in light of the recent Iraq War and President Bush's failure to wait for U.N. Weapon Inspector confirmation of chemical weapons, has a moral responsibility to restore the American People's confidence in prudential government by waiting until the U.N. Inspectors (requested by the Western Powers and permitted entrance by Syria) have completed their report."

I oppose it even if the government used such weapons. Stay out of Syria!

BTW, be sure and share that link. They have to get 100K signatures in 30 days in order to get a response from the White House.

back in '93 when Clinton launched strikes (without congress) on Iraq as 'punishment' (whats being proposed in Syria, not the ground invasion and occupation some of you seem to think is inevitable)

I don't have an account. I don't want one.

I also don't want to delay military action against Syria. I don't want to see it happen at all.
