Massive use of chemical weapons in Syria, 1,429 killed including 426 children

Serbs sure did.

That was not a few missile strikes. That was a sustained air campaign to destroy the serbs' ability to continue what they were doing. It was a refreshing change for Bill "fire and forget" Clinton.

I guess we'll see where this goes.

Funny how history is rewritten.

Anyway, looks like Obama will speak in an hour.  I imagine there will be some ultimatum.

"Bring those people back to life or there will be a couple more explosions in your blown-to-shit country"

I don't think you meant ultimatum Raz.

[Razgovory]

I don't think you meant ultimatum Raz.

I think I did.  "Step down in 48 hours or we will drop bombs" or something like that.

[Admiral Yi]

Step down from what?

[Razgovory]

Step down from what?

A flight of stairs.  I don't know what the demands will be, but I imagine there will be some demands and if they are not fulfilled in a certain amount of time bombing will commence.  Do you think this is an impossible scenario?

I think it's a very strange scenario.  Our ostensible motivation for striking is something that has already happened.  As Max said, they can't bring the victims back to life.  Definitely not in 48 hours.

BBC folks were complaining the the UK wasn't included in the list of allies. Brits can be so needy.

Ooooooo, the declaration of France as America's oldest ally has some knickers in a twist.

I'm laughing my ass off.

Does that mean no more "freedom fries?

French bashing is sooooo 2003.

Quick show of hands: who here has been in a food establishment that actually had "freedom fries" printed on the menu?

I did when I was hanging with CCR way back at his folk's place in western Illinois.  The owner was a furriner, which probably explains it.
