Alright. I caught up on the speech.


It didn't wow me into supporting any military action against Syria.

There are too many variables in what could happen in the US ever did attack, without boots on the ground mind you, Assat's forces.

Let's hope the rebels can finish what they started, and Al Qaida doesn't win in the end.

War sucks.

If we want Assad to go then we had better come up with a better way.

where they kill a kid, but pretend it is a dog.

I guess vids of only 1 kid dying aren't as captivating as a few more caused by somebody else.
