Who is it that controls Obama then, the illuminati? The Bilderberg group? Aliens? Do you understand that the theory you just presented of Obama releasing the sarin in Syria puts you on the edge of nutters? At worst, Obama is incompetent. He isn't malicious; overall he's a nice guy.
I didn't say Obama or the U.S. government was behind releasing the sarin. I said that it might have been released to benefit and promote our political agenda at home (NSA, etc.) as well as our foreign policy.
If a third-party wanted us involved, the release of WMD is a proven catalyst to get the U.S. involved in a conflict.
The question is does the involvement of the U.S. in Syria, even if it furthers the political agenda at home (NSA, etc.) as well as our foreign policy, hurt us or help us in the long run? Al Qaeda already has a foothold, it's influence will surely increase. Russia and China can point out that the U.S. is the only superpower who is continuing to interfere in the sovereign operations of third-world (maybe two and a half-world) governments resulting turning world opinion against us. The economic drain of the continued military actions is bankrupting us.
It's a case of getting what the U.S. wants could be the worse thing thing for the U.S however the economic and political significance of that action will benefit many industrial and financial factions as well as other governments.
Then again, this could all be caused by a small group of Syrian military or political fanatics. We will probably never know the real truth. The victors always write the history not necessary the truth.
Well, that's where O and W differ. W wouldn't have thought that far ahead -- or if he had, he would have assumed that "responsibility" would be a non-issue, because the only thing he'd need to worry about after the glorious victory would be where to put all the flowers sent to him by the thankful Syrians.
Obama has done plenty without explicit public Congressional approval:
Waged war on Libya without congressional approval.
Secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries.
Continued Bush's rendition program.
Escalated the CIA drone war in Pakistan.
Started a covert, drone war in Yemen.
Initiated, and personally oversees a 'Secret Kill List'.
Launched 20,000 Airstrikes in his first term.
Obama signed executive order giving himself control of all communication systems in America
Obama signs Executive Order allowing for control over all US resources
Items with the consent of Congress:
Signed the NDAA into law - making it legal to assassinate Americans w/o charge or trial.
Continued the PRISM massive NSA spying program..
Signed the Patriot Act extension into law..
.
I wouldn't put it past these bastards to hire someone to detonate a sarin bomb in Damascus to gin up an excuse for an invasion. And now they're wondering what the fuck to do now that the President just said "Well, we should have Congress' input on this."
Looking at his actual record, Obama is more George Bush that George Bush was . He's owned and controlled by the same people who own and control Congress. I'll give you a hint; it's not the American people. I wouldn't be surprised if the sarin wasn't released to benefit and promote our political agenda at home (NSA, etc.) as well as our foreign policy. He just wants it all wrapped up nicely with Congressional approval to deflect responsibility.
No, they still need it. Just look at the nature of the story: "The official, like others interviewed for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material."
Yet these people aren't being hunted across the globe for their classified leaks.
But this was probably an approved intentional Anonymous leak.
Netflix and Google use 75% of the bandwidth in my country.
And what country would that be and do you have an authoritative source for that claim?
"What's copyrighted is the idea"
I thought the legal theory was that you couldn't patent an idea but you could copyright the expression of the idea?
What is the protocol for such a situation? I gave up telling them to turn it off, because they just seem to get indignant about it.
"Accidently" spill your $10 Jumbo with refill soft drink on his phone and the ID10T. Get refill and enjoy.
Case in point is Sirius Satellite Radio. last year just before I paid for the next year they dropped a station that happened to be what I mostly listened to. When I called them up, they offered a reduced rate. This year when it was time to renew, I called them up and they again offered me a discounted rate. I'm still with them because I am paying what I consider is fair for the service. If they do not offer me a discount next year I will drop it.
I found that if you disable auto-renew, then when it's renewal time they don't cut you off for a few weeks while they try desperately to contact you. After a week or so, finally answer the phone and tell them their service is too expensive. Every year, they "check" with a retention supervisor and then offer me a reduced rate of ~$6/mo if I prepay for a year. That's less than 1/2 of their regular rate.
What really happened is that big business took more direct control of both sides to ensure that one or the other always remained in power for their benefit.
This hits the nail on the head.
