Then watch the following webcast from the Senate Armed Services Committee where the honorable warmonger #1 John McCain is presiding, and questioning US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta over the latest thoughts on what to expect in Syria and thus Iran.

Syrian infrastructure leveled in 1,2,.....
...five!
three sir!
Three!
Just another day of Distraction Theater, designed to keep the sheeple from asking questions about the Administration's handling of the economy. And there is McCain, front and center, stooge #1 of the so-called 'loyal opposition'. Meh.
anyone have a transcript of Panetta's testimony?
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB80/new/doc%2023/Remarks%20to%2...
Pannetta looks like he's wearing a Henry Kissinger mask
"our plan to destabilize Syria is going as planned. We've successfully convinced our operatives at the major news networks in the US that the Syria government is cracking down on "activists" who are bombing buses, sniping government officials, and destroying infrastructure. We've tried to convince people that this is like Kosovo, not mentioned of course that Kosovo has been Europe's ghetto for nearly 15 years because of idiotic intervention last decade. Everyone's gobbling it up. So being how things are going, it's looking like we'll be able to triangulate Iran into supporting the Syrian government and use that as an excuse to start a war with them too."
hey, where is "Syria Danny"? shouldn't he be in front of that committee tearfully begging for US and/or Israeli bombs to fall on his (alleged) homeland?
it's amazing watching this whole theater face play out, cause you already know this is all about Iran anyways, get Damascus and Tehran becomes a bit easier of a nut to crack especially if the new pro western regime can be "convinced" to give the Russians the boot.
It sure as hell has 0 to do with protecting civilians, just like Libya, as Dempsey stated going after Syria's AA system will cause significant civilian casualties, which completely cancels out the whole idea of "protecting" them in the first place.
and if in the attempt the US causes civilian deaths and still Assad is able to use the AA system to repel the airstrikes, maybe also inflicting casualties on US military forces as well, what then? does that not strengthen Assad's position?
it doesn't appear that the Assad regime can be toppled by airstrikes alone, his military is not being bled by the mass defections that Qaddafi's was, not to mention it is much larger, better equipped, trained, organized and funded than Libya's was, and it appears to be firmly under the command of the regime, so I don't see how anything short of a full on war including ground troops, is going to remove Assad from power so long as the military remains loyal.
will Russia and China sit on the sidelines knowing Syria is the gateway to Iran for NATO and the West?
I wouldn't bet on it.
draft notices in your stockings this Christmas, bitchez.
But in the comic books, America is the good guy and always wins!
[sarcasm alert for those with room temperature IQs]
Both posts I have below confirm exactly what they have said over the past 2 hours, My contact assured me 2 days ago verbatim, (what I posted below) that this was going to be their argument for "liberation"
Pesky Constitutionality is standing in the way though, never stopped them before, why should it now? NATO baby! Fuck the Constitution, we got an enemy to topple.
My info is always good and I hope the readers here take stock in my opinion, I live Geo Political and I usually know what their next step is before they do it. You experts here live Finance and Market trends and the cobination of the two we can figure out alot more with good analization of the FACTS.
We have a good mix of backgrounds here to have rational conversations on this forum so other readers can side step the MSM bullshit and get the full picture of what troubles were really facing here in America today.
*When they talk about USA arming the "Rebels" they are arming Al-CIAda and The Muslim Brotherhood via Arab League. so, again kids, were making war. Gotta love it.
Your just watching a scripted show right now, the reason why I know is that I was told the context of this ASC 2 day's ago. The Syria directive was green light out of the Pentagon months ago, Panetta can pick up his marching orders on his way out the door today.
Their all reading the same sheet of music. Just going over talking points aka lies to build their case to the public and now on record.
Thanks. ZH is #1
-JP
analization? - you shove it up your arse?
Thanks JP but I would say that most on this site (aside from the paid trolls) were aware of the farcical nature of government information (either geopolitical or economic) for a long time. We don't "take stock" in opinions because people ask us to, we do it when their resoning and evidence is solid. Don't ask for respect, earn it.
“Look, if you think any American official is going to tell you the truth, then you're stupid. Did you hear that? - Stupid.” - Arthur Sylvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, 1965, at a Vietnam press meeting as reported by: Hammond, William M. Reporting Vietnam: Media and Military at War, 1998.
I think that's what McCain and Panetta are doing... analizing the facts.
GroundPIG day!
If McCcain pops his head out from his ass and still can't see his own dick, then it's one more year of increased defense spending and WAR.
Too bad for us that the prickless bastard's head squeezed out his sphinter when AIPAC and Liberman climbed up in his ass again to roost.
Much better chance of dying from stress while stuck in freeway jam or LaBrea tar pit.
This article deservedly picks on John McCain as a warmonger. But let's not forget what president and his party currently preside over a record death toll in Afghanistan and US troops/intelligence forces involved in nine conflicts in MENA and Central Africa. Now this administration is making noise on Iran and Syria. Some Nobel Peace Prize winner! On top of Executive Order used to assassinate US citizens overseas and rampant spying on our own citizens. Oh, and we're not totally out of Iraq yet.
After this administration is over, I never want to hear about the 'Republican war machine' again.
There is no spoon.
There is no republican.
There is no demoncrat.

How quaint. You still believe the democrats and republicans are different parties.
Syria has to go as part of the isolation of iran strategy. Keep your eye on the ball.
I wish that thing living in McCain's cheek would bust out and eat him alive, once and for all.
That is all.
Israel will attack Iran alone. Syria will not crack, the US will not provide the aggression, and thus, Israel will do it all by herself. We are doomed.
How dare you call a man that lost years of his life in a Vietnamese prison camp a warmonger? Have you no shame?

McCain sure doesn't, the way he kneels down in front of Netanyahu with his ass in the air, waiting to be mounted by his king.
Don't you mean Obama, bending over for the Sauds?
Yes we should definitely treat "republics" led by Islamic tyrants the same way we treat Israel, led by duly elected leaders.
Breaking News: U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) volunteers to lead solo mission over Syria - USAF to provide the former Vietnam pilot and POW with a Boeing-Stearman Model 75 and a single grenade belt. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to ride in second cockpit armed with a Colt M1911A1 .45. A confidential source claims Israeli Genocidal Warmonger-in-Chief Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu will also take part in the mission, strapped to the plane's underside and armed with single Mosin-Nagant M38.
Best of luck!
Yoo hoo! Girls! Don't forget senator Graham! In a cockpit, nobody can handle the stick better than Lindsey.
He'll be dropping Holy Joe Lieberman on Damascus. Lieberman's hypocricy will subdue everyone in the city with violent retching. Sure, it violates the Geneva Protocol, but that doesn't matter when you're The Good Guys®.
World War III - The First Private War in History
Those who won all battles shall lose the war. Bilderberg Group and the crimes against humanity.
In 1991, when George Bush senior attacked Iraq and tried to establish the New World Order, has actually provoked a World War. A war the human kind has never seen before; a world war that may not have had the provocative blood-letting of the previous wars, nevertheless its consequences were equally bad for all the peoples. A financial world war, the consequences of which may not have been dead or amputated men and ruins, but in any case they were equally disastrous for both the peoples and the environment.

I thought I've never agree with Ron Paul on this, but he's 100% correct. Once you step back and honestly look - it's all war propoganda. We have no idea who the opposition was/is in Libya, and now Sryia, but we want to bomb the regime? It's crazy. We are literally murdering people. And don't forget the war drums on Iran and build up.
Someone once said McCain acts as if the Vietnam War never ended, and I agree with that. But besides McCain, these people want to bomb and attack virtually the entire Islamic Middle East in the name of "Democracy" and nation-building. What incredible arrogance, combined with the desire to serve the military industrial complex.
"Democracy" = Zionism (Greater Israel)
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what's for supper. We are beginning to practice that here in the USA and were a Republic! not a Democracy. Greece is a Democracy.
They hate us because of our Freedoms, so, let's get all the Freedom taken away and maybe they will like us?
Here is an interesting article on Who works behind the scenes on these things:

Something very devious is obviously going on and has been going on and will keep going on until somebody stops it.
Another interesting article by F. William Engdahl talks about trillions of dollars worth of energy in and around Greece (might have something to do with what happening there?)
The New Mediterranean Oil And Gas Bonanza - Part 2
Rising energy tensions in the Aegean—Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria
Who was it that was bragging decades ago that there would be THREE major World Wars? If the American people would just raise some noise like they do sometimes over minor things, maybe this escalation to all out World War could be avoided.
If it's not let me tell you...the whole planet will be geo-politically re-aligned by the time it is all done...Which may be what these Elites have in mind.
But YOU and I and our children, grand kids, and great greats, will pay for this for the next 200 years. The Jews are still going after the Germans for money.
There is no end to this UNTIL the people say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! It HAS to be STOPPED!
think of it this way: Do you trust the likes of McCain and all the politicians voting for more invasions based on lies? Are these folks what you consider High Intelligence?
What about Ross-Letichen (sp?) of Florida. Do you think she is a smart woman? Do you trust her on what she says about Syria and Iran? What about Hilary? She's heading for leadership role in the World Bank. Do you think she can be trusted?
Clinton on Qaddafi: We came, we saw, he diedOr do you trust what hundreds of blogs are saying about these DC created wars and conflicts?
I'm warning you American tanks against crossing the border. I've got some tar and wool socks, all I need is the explosives and a fuse.
put McCain back in a vietcong shit and piss pit until he cracks again.
and changes sides.
who dat fella workin for dats der question.
