As promised I am focusing on the doings in the Middle East this week….there is more happening than we are aware of or told by our cracker jack media……..

McCain and his echo chamber Lindsey Graham have been beating the war drum for a couple of days now……this time it is Syria and the use of chemical weapons…..of course the line they feed us is they are so concerned with the poor people of Syria, not the push for outright military action……these two and anyone who regurgitates their fecal matter are disingenuous pricks…..

Recently the news was full of the stories of the use of chemical weapons by Assad against his own people…..and McCain and his little surrogate have been making the rounds in the media puking their war crap with the hopes the American people will buy their line…..but the truth is that NO one knows for sure if or on whom they were actually used…..

White House said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was believed “with varying degrees of confidence” to have used chemical weapons and had “demonstrated a willingness to escalate its horrific use of violence” against the people of his country engaged in a two-year-old civil war.

My problem with this whole thing centers around a couple of words in the statement…….”believed” and “with various degrees of confidence”……that is doublespeak, Washington bullshit.

Obama has gone in front of the cameras and said….

“What we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used inside of Syria, but we don’t know how they were used, when they were used [or] who used them,”

Okay, what is the evidence?  (a question that has no answer at this time)……..sounds like all they have is someone’s word for it without much evidence……

McCain and the neocon echo chamber demand something be done but not one has an idea of what that action should be……..so someone tell me how to rid Syria of his chemical weapons……what action would be appropriate?

Here is an idea…..do NOT use bombs, drones or rockets!  The last thing the people of Syria needs is someone blowup a Sarin gas store and release it into the atmosphere…..then McCain will truly have something to rant about…….

Just once I would like to hear a solution to the problem from warhawks….other than the US needs to act and act now.  A short sighted response will surely get Americans killed and that seldom seems to be a concern of our lunatic Right…….and yet they are supported by many…makes one fear for the sanity of our politics.

Haven’t we had enough of these elusive WMDs?
