33. Obama isn't calling for Assad to face "a trial for war crimes at the Hague".

He is calling for acts of war upon people who haven't stood trial for ANYTHING yet or even put forth ANY sort of absolute proof of WHO perpetrated the CW attack.

So spare us the holier-than-thou, "humanitarian limited strikes" bullshit.

BTW, 911 and Pearl Harbor were BOTH "limited strikes intended to send a message."

Who the fuck do you think you are fooling?

No boots on the ground? Then it's not a war. [View all] Jeff In Milwaukee Sep 2013 OP
