President Obama Explains Why He "Did Not Request Permission" To Invade Syria - Live Feed
Last night's airstrikes on ISIS in Syria came as a surprise to some (though apparently not ISIS who local reporters note had time to move weapons and personnel) as President Obama - and his local arab nation allies (acting in support), though notably no Western nations - unleashed hell on Assad's sovereign territory. The first stirrings of responses from Russia have been creeping out and now Israel is involved in the anti-ISIS coalition. The State Department has just confirmed that they did not give advance warning to the Syrian regime. If you are playing along at home, key words include "broad coalition", "Assad still a bad guy", "Vladimir who?", and "not Muslim."
- *KERRY DID NOT SEND LETTER TO SYRIAN REGIME, PSAKI SAYS
- *U.S. DID NOT GIVE SYRIA ADVANCE NOTICE AT MILITARY LEVEL: PSAKI
- *PSAKI SAYS U.S. INFORMED SYRIA OF INTENT TO TAKE ACTION
- *PSAKI SAYS U.S. DID NOT ASK SYRIAN PERMISSION FOR STRIKES
State Department clarifies: "We warned #Syria not to engage US aircraft," Psaki says. "We did not request the regime's permission." #jpost

Psaki Bombs
"We warned Syria not to engage US aircraft"
Of course, that would be an act of War(as Orwell spins)
Freedom, liberty, property, and security for us.
Bombs, missiles, death, invasion, and occupation for others.
Yes we can!
Who they gonna bomb when they run out of brown people? Uh oh.
You
Us
He didn't request it because he didn't need to... Bitchez .. Besides.. What if one of our bombers gets shot down over Syria? Can you see the plan now??
First they came for the black people, and I smiled.
Then they came for the brown, and I rejoiced.
Then they came for me, and I asked, "But who will you have to smile and rejoice?"
An American, not US subject.
I'll sum up the statement:
"I bombed another country and blew some folks up because I can. That's how I roll, bitch. God bless America and fuck you!"
Yeah. Except we don't even get freedom, liberty, property rights, or security. I could puke right about now.
"Mission Accomplished Bitches!" Now let's boogy!
How does this work? Maybe Assad has some of those advanced Russian anti aircraft systems. If they start regime change from the air, Assad has nothing to lose by trying them out and Russia gets to see how good they work? Regime change with boots on the ground, going to have to draft some western fools to do that. Probably the smatest thing for Russia and China to do is sit back and watch America stupid themselves out of the global dominance business.
< 60 minutes late
> 60 minutes late
over under
Using taxpayers $ to use weapons against our weapons.
Only in Amerika.
Let me be clear, we need to bomb some folk.
That was fLlCKin funny.
Is it just me or does anyone else ever wonder if they're trying to bring the whole rotten thing down as fast as they can on purpose? The market rigging, war, disease etc..Or are they really this insane?
Nope. Not just you... Cloward Piven agrees.
Rhetorical questions need no answers.
Or do they?
;)
Arrest O now. Give him a suite at one of the FEMA camps.
He is the terrorist. Who do you fear more?
Shit. I think this world could use a When The Earth Stood Still type alien right about now.
Looks like it! The question is why?
Krugman is wankin himself with broken glass.
He's been running within about 10 recently. He keeps wondering why people won't wait an hour to hear him speak any more.
Anything short of "I am King of the World" will be unsatisfactory!!!!!
Of course, this duplicitous action by the US doesn't mean that Russia can reinforce the freedom fighters in eastern Ukraine, or rain bombs down on the Nazis.
It really is a very sick world . . . the US is sooooo ripe for the rotten fruit to fall to the ground.

No one will miss Israel's bitch, and the "land of the free, and the home of the brave."

A request: If you are going to use George's image, please pay him the compliments he deserves. He was the best, we need him now more than ever.
He doesn't "request permission" because he doesn't have to. The Constitution is a joke anymore. The justices of the Supreme Court who are supposed to keep the legislative and executive branches in check by interpreting and enforcing the laws written in our once-treasured piece of paper are useless cowards who sit by and watch every possible usurpation of powers take place.
Revolution folks... revolution.
Amen brother! Never give up our guns! That is our last stand!
Oh and never get out of the boat man! It's fuckin mango's man!
Prediction: It won't be immediate, but sometime after Obama leaves office, he will not be able to travel freely in the world - he will be hunted down and tried as the War Criminal that he is.
-30-
NO he won't, Just as Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink have said nothing since Jan 20, 2009, we've find the left telling us he's a man of peace. They'll give him another Nobel for fighting global warming (woops, forgot it's "climate change" now). He'll run for Sec Gen of the U.N.
actually, I thought that i saw Code Pink protesting Kerry last week. they will of course, not recieve any MSM coverage.
Someone said that about W and he's free as a bird.
Not quite true.
His foreign travel is actually very limited, he even cancelled a trip to Switzerland this year
to avoid a war crimes warrant for his arrest.
Someone said that about W and he's free as a bird.
"Here Tiger! Here Tiger!"
Yes, Tiger is half black too.
Now you know what the big bruhaha was about selecting cheif justices in Bushes time was about. They were looking for blackmailable gutless wonders to gut America from the inside out, and they found them.
Start the Revolution with Rejection
The most powerful weapon the American people have is Rejection.
The system of fraud and theft that has been built up upon the backs of the American people is dependent upon out backs. Withdrew our backs, and the whole thing collapses. This is our greatest weapon.
Quit Paying--put it into food, and precious metals, etc.They stole what ever "debt money" they loaned you in the first place )fractional reserve banking) and soon you won't be able to pay them anyways.
Quit Obeying--If they are in violation of the Constitution then they are not legitimate anyways.
Quit Playing--Quit being a tool for them to use.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying , quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: Is there really any place for these sociopaths and criminals in a
restored civil and Constitutional society?!
Restoration: Restore the Constitutional republic.
An American, not US subject.

If we were to stick Martin Schultz and Obama in a boxing ring together, who would win?
The human race.
Bon mot, Sir.
the muslim president is conflicted at every level.
I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be both a Muslim and a Zionist. Poor guy. We should really cut him a little slack.
for fuck's sake he was funded and installed by Jews and has appointed Jews so disproportionately the only thing that can explain your not knowing about it is that the press is also, in essence, Jewish controlled.
Jews are 2.5% of the population, they have to have been over half of his appointments - and wildly disporportionately to agencies having anything to do with $$.
irs, fed, commerce, treasury, national economic council, council of economic advisors.
the "secret muslim" shit is Cass Sunstein disinfo - blame the brown Muslims, think about Kenya - not the cabal of Chicago Jews led by the son of a Jewish Supremacist terrorist puke...
http://www.bollyn.com/11305
so sick of you fucking idiots with this secret Muslim nonsense - are you really so fucking dumb>?
i'm pretty sure that the Zionists would have no qualms about backing a secret muslim in the White House. yes, his "religion" doesn't mean shit just like the Jewish religion doesn't mean shit. all religion is shit. Zionism is the issue. not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews.
See Saudi Arabia for a nice example of that.
Most neocons are Jews. Most Jews aren't neocons.
No it's not "the Joos" but it is a significant subset of them - the Perles and Feiths.
One tires of issuing caveats and qualifications when so many thought police think it is "hate" to discuss the Jewishness of the neocons.
Oh, brother! Here you go with the Jew-hate retardedness. Why don't y'all end your diatribes with "Alihu Akbar" (or whatever it is) like other Muslims?
So saying that the neocons, who were mostly Israel-centric Jews, were Israel centric Jews, is "Jew hate?"
What other factual statements constitute "hate?" Or is it just the ones demonstrating a significant minority of Jews constitute an Israeli Firster 5th column, eager to use American blood and treasure for Greater Israel.
Go fuck yourself.
Only 2.5%?..and they 'control the world'?
Hmm..they gotta be doin something right.
Who said they 'control the world'?
Are you seriously trying to argue with me that Jews don't have disproportionate power in the US government and media?
Ethnocentrism is a helluva drug.
The public is onboard this stuff and they don't even know it... endogenous social mood is negative and turning more so all the time...
http://www.globaldeflationnews.com/robert-prechter-on-hedge-funds-and-he...
The hubris is mind blowing. Surely we are close to something going down.
what a piece of theater
As hard as I try to not waste any energy hating this guy, every day he give me even more reasons not to resist.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Why not hate both? Less discriminatory that way, so you know it's good.
Yes, so much less raysis!
It's always personal Timmay, you have to hang the players to end the game. Even ISIS knows that.
Without players there would be no game. This is why I hate the players more than the game.
I keep thinking about that picture with GWB smiling and waving. Caption underneath reads "Miss me yet?"
Jesus H COckgobbler. GWB was presiding over the same bullshit Obombya is pushing forward - war, debt based money, buying off the voting public with government care, greater centralizaiton of Federal Government power, and a destruction of any supposed rights us plebes have. I miss that mother fucker about as I much as I love Obombya, which is none at all.
Yes doc, but has there ever been more of an incompetent divider running as a "uniter"?
Both foreign and domestic, he has let down many. Enabling enemies and pissing on alies? Really?
Good job Brownie.
Decaf, Richard. Try decaf. It was just a joke.
Partisan humor has no place here. There's enough communication issues already without inadvertent trolls of the HuffPo/Freeper variety, regardless of your intent.
Your sarcasm detector need calibration dickhead
Obozo. Dude warrants a revolution much more than even W did.
Don't worry. The next guy will be worse.
Didn't Kerry say last time the Saudi's already paid for this?
The US already has their money? Last time the Saudis were pissed that the US didn't follow through with their desires.
I'm certainly no international legal scholar. Could someone please explain the basics of laws of conflict here? I'm guessing we must have broke some international law by just bombing some sovereign country? What are the legal justifications for bombing another country?
If you haven't noticed yet, "legal" doesn't mean anything in regards to those who rule. It will only matter after WWIII sorts out the winners who then get to "Nuremberg" the losers.
Look on the good side of this, now that a nations borders don't matter DC is free to bomb ISIS/ISIL/IS (whatever it is this week) strongholds in Detroit! Maybe even DC could bomb DC?
Who's gonna stop us?
That's the legal justification. Seems to be one used by more and more countries lately.
The world is a lawless jungle - how appropriate given the background of the president . . .
-30-
there is no "law."
The prosecutors at Nuremburg were paid by people who belonged in the docks along with the Nazi filth.
Anyone got links to Russian, Chinese, Iranian responses to the coalition bombings or jet downing??
Cheers
No links here, but all in all Mongo thinks this whole shit show is well worthy of justification for an early start to drinking today!
So cheers right back atcha:-)
Looks like no one is in hurry with any statements.. or the world is used to USA bombing the ME that no one cares anymore. Until some important events happen.
The almighty petro-dollar is at stake.
"The almighty petro-dollar is at stake"
The almighty petro-dollar is like a 95 yo female pensioner from Miami. Cosmetic surgery and botox can only hide the fact that she's already semi-dead...
Replace "cosmetic surgery" by "Obama's speeches" and "botox" by "air strikes" and you get the (sad) picture...
Neo-con wet dream- Assad shoots down US military aircraft that has been bombing Syrian civilians and destroying Syrian military equipment.
Apparently, the US population has no saturation point for evil.
What goes around always comes around. When will israel and america finally get buttfucked for justice?
Looked at the US civilian population lately? Tatted up stoners, dumbed-down min wagers, porn addicts, illegals who want to destroy America and hook up with their former homeland . . . nobody is going to sing, "Rally 'round the Flag, boys!"
Go ahead, ask the people on the street about what's happening in the ME. Prepare yourself for an endless line of blank expressions.
Last night, it really hit me that the population of America is beyond hope. You aren’t going to beat the education (used loosely) establishment, the MSM, the Hollywood entertainment moguls, and FSA, and the rest of the Left Wing Looney Tunes who have control of public opinion. (How else do you explain Obama's re-election?)
Cover your own ass; the wheels are coming off the wagon. The US is a lawless criminal nation thrashing around to hit anything that even looks like it might disagree with this continued kleptocracy.
It's going to be so bad . . . frankly, IS could walk in over the southern border tomorrow (he wrote as if it hasn't already done so) and America will collapse in a heartbeat.
There is no cure for this . . .

Truth.
Preach it...
on a stereotypical level, yes but what's his problems with tats? doesn't he believe in personal liberty?
Agreed, I can't figure that one out, but overall I think he's spot on.
Tats are so mainstream now that to exercise your liberty and independence, you should refrain from getting one. A handful of tats is fine. However, everywhere you look everyone who wants to be edgy is getting sleeves of incongruent garbage inked. Look at Justin Bieber as an example of a tatted up empty vessel trying to project a certain image of his own self delusion.
Generally speaking, tats are a measure of poor-impulse control (aka, maturity). Liberty is one thing, but making life-long decisions on the spur of the moment is something else.
IDNJY
Tat yourself like Whiz Kilefah; it's your body.
But the deeper importance of the tat rage is that what has always been seen as deviant behavior, or at the least lower class behavior, is now "normalized," which mean the standards of the society have come down to that level as part of our New Normal.
It reinforces my point that the US is in decline, and is no longer at the level of societal standards it once was at.
The consequences of that decline are obvious.

Dr. Engali:
I very much respect your posts. For you to agree with me . . . well, that's a real compliment.
Thank you.

Sadly true. Hard to swallow, but sadly true.
Alea iacta est.
what do you have against stoners?
Instead of PTSD/Depression/whateverthefuck and 2 or 3 meds, try a couple doses of X and moderate enjoyment of marijuana.
Until evil's consequences finds its way into their living rooms. Natuarally it won't be their fault.
How many Americans does it take to make a decision?
None. Israel makes it for them.
Must be getting close to election time...

"Attn Nobel Prize White House Occupant: since we see what a marvelous job you are doing with your illegal civilian bombing operations in foreign countries, can you please check out the activities of some of your campaign donors to see if they are doing anything bad?"
Bombing a sovereign country is a war crime. But we are a hyperpower and so no laws apply to us. We bombed a few folks - what could be wrong with that?
It's an act of war, not a war crime. The real issue isn't how no laws apply to us, but how countries that have signed defense treaties with Syria respond. This is WW3 kids.
The air strikes are an illegal act of war against a country that has never posed a threat to the United States. The Obama administration launched the bombing without even the fig leaf of a UN Security Council resolution and against the expressed opposition of the Syrian government, which offered to collaborate with Washington in fighting ISIS. Once again, the US is engaged in an unprovoked war of aggression—the chief charge on which German Nazi leaders were tried and convicted at the post-World War II trials in Nuremberg
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/09/23/syri-s23.html
There is no such thing as "law" when discussing sovereign nations. There are only treaties and gentleman's agreements between nations that can be entered and exited at leisure.
It's like the pirate code from Pirates of the Caribbean, more guidelines then actual rules.
Syria is a UN member. This violates the charter.
And common human decency - it's an attack on Syria for gas pipelines, private central banking, the MIC, and Greater Israel.
These people pulling Obombya's strings are psychopaths, and yes, they are disproportionately Zionist Jews.
I never said they weren't psychopaths, just that there is no higher power then a sovereign entity. The UN is a treaty, and can't force the US (or any country really) to abide by its provisions. There is no law in the game of nations like for us serfs, even if that is how it is presented and how we were indoctrinated by school and media. The Nuremberg trials were only held because Germany LOST. There were no similar trials for France when they invaded Germany after WWI and captured a disarmed Germany's territory. No outcry for Allies firebombing civilian cities and nuking Japan. History is written by the victors, never forget that.
10:01 - Let the countdown begin.
Give me a break obama is there to sign off on w.e his masters tell him to do, they want to fund rebels to take down assad or whatever you call him and they want to secure Syrian land to build some pipelines for private interests land that will go to privately owned enterprises but will be paid for with the blood and treasure of honest americans, the problem is their plans are completely back firing and the rebels they are arming are turncoats and in turn the u.s. owned rebels are slowly but surely all joining isis and alqueda . . . Which was another failed pet project of our govt. Everything is backfiring so they are pushing the time table ahead a bit and brute forcing their attempts to reset the game in their favor.
He didn't bother to ask, cuz Valerie dun told him.
Criticism of dear leader is totally raciss.
Funny how some people cannot recognize the sarcasm in the spelling of the word "raciss."
Wanna bet they're voters?
Mule!
Let me be clear, I am a Tyrant, Fraud & Dictator functioning under Criminal Fraud for the UNITED STATES, CORP. I answer only to the Pure Evil Criminal Psycopaths in the CIA & Banking industry.
No worries Mr. President!
After the alleged Veteran with PTSD went off the meds and entered OUR property, the nice little men at the secret service extended the boudaries around OUR HOUSE so that undesirables like people expressing their first amendment rights to protest your illegal wars will think twice before coming downtown to show their anxiety with your unilateral decision making in violation yet again to your oath of office!
I think now is a great time for 18 holes at Burning Tree if you haven't decided how to spend the rest of your day!
'Change You Can Believe In!'
Any moment now the anti-war left is going to start protesting in the streets....... any moment........ still waiting........

That SS dude is protecting the WH putting green. He must have gotten the wrong schedule of events for today.
What does the rest of the U.S. and Europe think of Obama's unilateral decision to bomb people in the MiddleEast? I wonder if they even noticed.
Considering they owe their ass to the FED, what do you think that they thought . . . ?
Chuck Norris doesn't need to request permissions, he grants them. With a roundhouse kick.
Obama... he's just playing the hardball line to appease the dumb blood-hungry electorate. He doesn't give a shit about the consequences that plainly are written on the wall. Figures.
'A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman ofthe next generation'
I told my wife not to let her gas tank go below 2/3.
They're going to shoot us here sooner rather than later now....
hope we kick their fukn asses
I don't quite remember what is he invading Syria for exactly? Somehow I must have missed the reason for the bombings or sth
Ask Bibi!
A fucking golf green in the background? Are you kidding me?
"We must stop the terrorists. I call upon all nations to do everything they can, to stop these terorrist killers. Thank you.
Now watch this putt."
There's been one there since at least 1952. Ike used to come into the oval office with his golf shoes on, tore the wood floor all to shit.
WTF! This link is about 2 mins behind the live broadcast.
Did Potus speak yet or am I silly to assume he is less than 10 min late?
Is that a putting green I see in the background?
But the Americans that fight for ISIL can find safe haven back here in the States?
Lol....... The broad coalition has been dwindled down to five piss ant nations.
Story is already changing from active participation to active support role.
My guess is what all US.
Yet another deft epic move by the affirmative action nobel peace prize winning community organizing Kenyan winning the hearts & souls!
Why he didn't axe for permission? that's not how he rolls...
So ISIS is given advanced warning...after all we surely do not want another Banghazi to happen. You know, getting caught running arms through our "consulate". Just give em 12 hours notice and they can split and we can bomb Assad, our equipment remains intact!!! Brilliant!! and now Israhell is joining, let the fun begin!!!
Damn, I figured he would be 20 minutes late. What is his over/under now adays?
treason.
Time to lynch the bastard
I guess he couldn't answer the question with a straight face
And he said....nothing
More loathsome newspeak spewed by our worthless figurehead.
"Mr. President, are Americans in danger living in the United States?"
No answer.
The Illegals will protect us.
Thank god we used precision targeted bombs so no innocent civilians were killed.
Only 11. And only four kids!
I just got off the phone with Madeleine Albright and she said as long as civilian deaths remain below 50,000 it will be "worth it"
You mean 500,000.
There are some who, when faced with the wanton distruction of their spouse and/or children, will spend the rest of their lives plotting the destruction of the murderers.
"Some?" Try "most".
