One moment of Syrian sanity in the last week
When the British Parlement said no to Cameron's call to join the US in war (apparently they felt that the US going to war on any excuse was a forgone certainty) it marked the only moment of sanity in the last week as far as Syria goes. Notice how mention of it is no where to be found in the President's speeches or the 'news' media.
And this too. There can be no informed debate on this matter so long as our Government holds everything they know about the situation to be Classified except those things which support the President's argument. Briefing a handful of lap-dog Congressmen and women is meaningless.
