That's all you hear. The American people have been left out of the discussion, because there is no discussion. There is only talk in the media that "we must act". The red line blah blah blah... credibility... The red line was already crossed months ago.

Hey! Let's do something that takes real courage. Let's wait until we get the facts.

What would we bomb if we did bomb Syria?

The weapons would still be there, but who knows who has or would have them.

The knee-jerk reaction of bombing at this point makes no sense whatsoever.

Maybe it will be appropriate in the future. But right now, we still don't have the facts.

And if the Obama administration lies about the facts in order to justify bombing then Democrats need to watch out. We Democrats are not the only game in town. People are sick and tired of watching tax money go down the drain on war.

Let's get at least Southern California, Texas and Florida covered with solar panels and produce some energy that is an alternative to oil.

Oil is evil. That is what I am beginning to think.
