    Huge spending bill signed. Running budget deficits. Going to war in the mid-East.

    Deja vu all over again.

    Very worrying. Does anybody else think it is rather strange that every time Assad is on the verge of victory in an area, he orders a chemical attack and draws on himself the ire of the West? Very puzzling also.

    We really don't know the true identity of the "powers that be".
    We dont know their strategic orchestration of global events.

    We don't know what their plan is or how they are going to herd the bleating sheeple.

    One thing we do know, our God is in control.

    Pray for the least bloodshed, no bloodshed...

    DT is another fool who is the "leader" of the USA. He acts more like a kid who always want his own way, and only interested in "looking good" to his many supporters. He is biting off more than he can chew. Putin is no Saddam!

    No. He's a lot smarter. Too smart to get very involved except for making a lot of noise.

    My guess is this great "air war" everyone is worried about will last, at most, a day or two.

    It's about sending a message. Assad didn't seem to get it the first time. He's probably wishing Obama was still commander -in-chief right about now.

    Putin is fully aware of what an all out war with America means.

    Russia is far weaker than people are led to believe,
    Putin needs China's full support plus many others he doesn't have - loose allies, yes, committed unto war, no.

    I don't think he will be too aggressive in the missile crisis. Shoot a few down, let a few through...

    But it still could be a nightmare.

    Just saw ... 11 Naval vessels released by Russia presumably to the missile showdown.

    Just reminded myself - Japan and the USA were involved in peace talks just before the Pearl Harbor sneak attack.

    I hope intel eyes are all turned upon North Korea to watch for a similar tactic.

    But, WHERE is the evidence to show that Assad is responsible?

    Every day of delay is a sign of a more intense hit and further preparation for escalation. Russia best think smart about which direction she takes as it approaches and what counter measures they might take because her ego may get seriously bruised and to try to recover that would be a very foolish thing to do.

    So you're saying it was the Russians?

    If not, who do you think it was?

    Russia was supposed to have "secured" the weapons.

    it could well be those who are fighting Assad, who know they cannot win, and need someone like the US to do their fighting for them. They could have caused this outrage, which will get the worlds notice, and get the US in to fight for them. You must agree that this is a possibility?

    The rebels Assad is fighting? I don't discount any possibility.
