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

His masters want an ever more imperial presidency so that when Hillary is installed she can get us into a major war with Iran all by herself.
The Unfolding of Yinon’s “Zionist Plan for the Middle East”: The Crisis in Iraq and the Centrality of the National Interest of IsraelCan't have Iran helping the Lebanese defend their territory from Israel now - Israel wants that gas, an water, up to the Litani, at least...
more of the Golan, Sinai maybe...
of course, the dumb American goyim, the fading flower of European Civilization, will be used... and most will simply accept what they are told, and work half the year to fund the Global Zionist Banking Empire that enslaves them...
Once you accept it is hopeless, ironically, things don't seem so bad.
And any criticism of her will be MISOGYNY!!!!
How in the heck did this maroon not get elected once ... but twice? WTF is goin' on?
Ask that fool Kunstler. He voted for him both times.
Lying about striking ISIS while actually striking Assad is a stupid strategy that will blow up in their faces. There is blowback built into this Course of Action.
This is about the Qatar-Syria gas pipeline.
They should have asked helped the Shia Iraqi's kick ISIS out of Iraq and then get a UN vote for a DMZ manned by UN nations (which would be the same nations today bombing Syria) separating ISIS from Iraq...where the pipeline could 'coincidentally' be built.
And water. The US will let Israel bomb Syria, so that Assad will be gone. Then Israel can annex southern Lebanon to the waters of the sweet Litani and solve their number one National Security issue, fresh water.
Community Organizer goes to war; when do the generals in the Pentagon start resigning when President Goebbels starts fucking up beyond recognition?

Penatgon generals are every bit as compromised as Obummer. You simply don't get there otherwise.
Nor do you go from full-bird colonel to wearing stars.
Permissions, Permissions? I don't need no stinking permissions.
.....but, but, but those evil Russians invaded Ukraine.
And they are sooooo evil, I am announcing NEW sanctions!!!
Impeach the Nation State TOTUS
O bomb ya is lining himself up for a 3rd and final term. These strikes are a prelude to a domestic event that will have the iTards and flag wavers lining up to support him 4 evah. Our great saviour and protector. USSA citizens deserve what they get for their ignorance and apathy and I am ashamed to be associated with them.
unfuckingbelieveable...here they are, yet again operating in a country that they have no, zero, none, legal or moral authority to be in.
and somehow Putin is public enemy #1? yeah, he has sent, what is it now, 4 aid shipments and got both sides to almost stop shooting at eachother...
and here Washington is dropping bombs on a country that is already suffering from three years of violence...without the permission or cooperation of the legitiment ruling goverment or the Syrian people?
this is not going to end well...for anybody.
I LoL everytime Psaki is on
Those tree huggin' holier than thou intellectually elite carin' & sharin' pet lovin' homo positive liberal demorat abortionists sure do like blowin' stuff & peeps up!
Didn't they say they were wayyy beyond that kinda thing????
Global Bombing for World Peace.
When America and it"s "leaders" are tried for war crimes, will American citizens be tried, as well? Are WE murderers? At what point is it NOT our fault?
No one will be tried for war crimes. The Empire will march on. Go back to sleep - there are bills to be paid and you need your rest so you can work off all this debt.
Check out some pics of Japan and Germany at the end of WWII. Not pretty, especially Japan.
That is how the good citizens of a war mongering nation are punished when allowing their leaders to stray.
The u.s founders were right. Standing Armies are a threat to the liberty and peace of all nations. The u.s is now bombing another sovereign nation without any quasi u.n approval. Doesn't matter who we are bombing or why. It's completely against the Law of Nations, and many treaties,and therefore an act of war (again).
The u.s government is lawless at home and abroad and is now the primary threat to world peace and very possibly the annihllation of all life on the planet. The u.s government, military, two thirds of the nation along with most "western" and ME nations are mad. They act more like a pack of wolves than responsible nations with the u.s and Israel as pack leaders.
The rule of law is over. Respect for other nations, humanity and life itself has ended. This will not be pretty or end well...
I couidn't watch it, my doctor advised against viewing things that make me ill.
Was he wearing his horns like last time?
Was listening to a "Greens Senator" in Australia on radio today, and despite my passionate dislike of the tree hugging "Greens" political party they had a good point on this occassion.
The bill in debate was in relation to increasing scope for arresting suspected terrorist without warrants etc and further militarizing the Australian Federal police. He gave an overview that since 9/11 and the start of the war on terror that allied nations have bombed everyone from pakistan, to iraq and everything in between, killed Bin Laden, killed in excess of 150,000 people in a meet fire with fire response to 9/11.
13 years of this continued "war on terror" and we now have a more unstable middle east region, a well organised and more powerful terrorist group than ever existed, whilst removing civil liberties, and increasing the local threat of terrorist attacks.
I'm fully aware the "war on terror" etc is just a cover story/excuse to invade countries that of interest in relation to energy but it does scare me how easily the stuff is sold to the avg citizen and how so few are questioning this madness that has gone for so long.
It is time for the more courageous politicians to speak up. Question: did that Greens Senator end up voting for the bill? Sometimes the rhetoric doesn't match the vote (well, I only voted for the bill because it also provided funding for the Children).
No he didn't support the bill, but it would have passed anyway as the 2 major parties were supporting it.
all systems try to acheive equilibrium
we were too free
the middle east and rest of the world weren't
now we're moving back to equilibrium
See?
The bill was in response to terrorist threat that was pre-emptively neutralised this week, nicely summed up in the facebook post below.
15 people detained.
800 plus police involved.
25 warrants investigated.
10 vehicles searched.
$630 mil boost in anti-terror funding.
1 Sword found.
I believe the Australian public deserves the right to hear this alleged phone call that has justified all of this.
Are the results in from the forensic lab? Any blood on the sword?
I love the smell of REVOLUTION in the morning. It's time to dust off the constitution and begin cleaning house.
As Dana Carvey as Bush 1 said, "Not gunnah happen"
Sadly...
And somone from the crowd yells "Mr. President are american in danger living in the United States?" HE WALKS AWAY AND DOESNT" ANSWER> NICE
If I were one of the guys from Oslo I'd give Obozo ANOTHER Nobel Peace Price, as he obviously doesn't yet quite understand what being awarded this entails.
Thank God! I clicked on the link and on the video it states, "The president's remarks have concluded." Shit imagine having to listen to that....whatever he is?
Good time for China to just say fuck it and dump its treasuries....
No problem - the FED prints up a trillion dollars and buys them through Belgium.
If you can print money endlessly - all of the old levers are useless.
That's why no one worries about the debt - nobody can force a default - in the current circumstances.
-30-
I think it wud be a nice touch to see one of the Kenyan's white sycophant minions shine his shoes with the constitution or U.S. flag while he pontificated about bombin' some folks!
When military guys like the former Commandant of the Marine Corps and the former general in command of Delta Force say that Sunnibama's ISIS plan is a bunch of happy horsecock, we had better listen.
Funny how the official line is that ISIS is a threat to the US and stability in the ME.
Yet, something more believeable, like the systematic slaughter of Christians, beheading children and putting their heads on sticks, does not come up.
Pretty cool.
Qatar needs a pipline, we need to undermine Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine, Ma homie Bidens son needs a new yacht bla bla bla bla merica, bla bla, terror, bla taxes bla bla bla... .. .
This is a piecemeal strategy by the Whitehouse and complicit Republicans:
To allow the president to act unilaterally on war matters, sets precedent for him to grant amnesty in the coming months.
Republicans will pretend to be outraged but won't do anything about it - just like Obamacare.
It's all an inside job.
I am sure that it will be accidental but, even if the US does not attack Assad, those parts that it does hit will be rendered unusable for the near to medium future, that is by the Syrian Government. You know, roads, bridges, dams, power lines etc.
Bit like Eastern Ukraine's infrastructure.
Badges? We don't need no stinking BADGES!
In case this hasn't been mentioned:
Syria Informed by the US Before Airstrikes Conducted
http://en.ria.ru/world/20140923/193189485/Syria-Informed-by-the-US-Befor...
Obama likes it when Putin rides him bareback.
I'm positive the hungry kids in Appalachia will sleep better tonight thanks to this attack on Syria. Like most Americans, they've long been worried about Assad being ruler of a country they can't identify on a globe.
He must be going for another Nobel Peace Prize!
Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, what say you?
Following the comments, I can understand why things like this happen... many of you guy´s just are blind racists or ignorant dumb red necks..... guess this will be a downvote....hehehe
I must be a bit slow, 'did not inform Assad of strikes;, um, everyone in the civilized world knew the air strikes were coming, perhaps the US thinks that Syria does not have an internet connection, bit of a strange one to crow about not telling Syria about strikes but everyone else in the world and think they are not going to know.
Also, why would the Syrian regime complain, the US has taken to bombing Assads enemies, the US has come to help him with its airstrikes, surprised that he would not be out on the balcony waving them on.
USA ship of state sinking, people floating away from awash decks....
