8. What this Syria buildup is showing

is that the Dem base is a bit more divided on following the PNAC neo-con program than the Reps.

But it also shows, esp. today on DU, the incredible pull of the siren call to war, esp. when the ones calling to war are "on our team". IMO that siren call couldn't be possible without a fully acquiescent MSM. A MSM that voiced the obvious *questions* (not even objections, just *questions*) regarding who is to blame, not just for this but for al-Qaeda funding and armaments, and regarding what those armaments consist of (esp. after Libya's armaments were opened to the "rag tag army of freedom fighting rebels&quot . The corporate MSM asks NO questions. Like: is it possible for chemical weapons (napalm, sarin, etc) to be delivered via ground to ground missiles - or do they require an air force? Is it true that al-Qaeda is too *moral* to initiate a false-flag operation of such scope; has al-Qaeda proved itself to be a moral force that Syrian citizens can feel safe behind? How *did* two distinct armies of al-Qaeda come to power in the so-called "liberated zones"?

NO SUCH QUESTIONS ARE ASKED, to counter the 100% pro-war neo-con message.
