Syria -- Selective Humanitarianism

By Elizabeth Nelson

Let me see if I get this straight, the Hamas and Al Qaeda, our enemies, are gassing hundreds of their own people, and this is tragic to Americans, and some of our people are crying out for the president to get involved and do something about it, under the guise of “Humanitarianism”?
Now, our president has moved our battleships into strategic position and put us back on the brink of another war, but to help who, the Hamas or Al Qaeda? Craziest thing, Obama sent our boys out there, without Congressional consent; which is a clear violation of the Constitution, especially if and when he fires a shot and starts a war.

The Obama administration on Tuesday was set to build the public case for a military strike on Syria by releasing documents on last week's alleged chemical weapons attack -- with one senior Defense official telling Fox News that a U.S. strike is "not a matter of if, but when."

One day after Secretary of State John Kerry declared that the evidence of a chemical weapons attack last week in Syria in "undeniable," the White House was expected to release intelligence backing up that claim. A source close to the White House told Fox News that the documents will probably be released on Tuesday.  Foxnews

The only reason we should be out there, would be to take out the WMD, so that they can’t fall into the hands of either the Hamas or Al Qaeda, right? That would make sense, to anyone with common sense, but even Kerry said we don’t have the ability do that, from the water.

In Washington, few in the administration doubt that military action will occur. U.S. military sources tell Fox News that the planned military operation would include cruise missiles and possible long-range stealth bombers but will not target Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles.
"There is no way to 'surgically strike' Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles" without boots on the ground, a source said. 

Meanwhile, NBC News reports that missile strikes could be launched as early as Thursday. 
Senior U.S. Defense officials tell Fox News that military assets are in position and could strike at any moment, once President Obama gives the order.

The administration, though, has decided to work through NATO; an emergency session in Brussels has been called for Wednesday. Any military action is unlikely to take place before that meeting.


However, Obama has promised not to send troops, but we’ve already seen what his “word” is worth, haven’t we:
“GOP Responsible for Jobs Bill Not Passing”
False - Dems Rejected Jobs Bill

“Rich don’t pay their fair share.”
False - National Taxpayers Union

“The health care bill will not increase the deficit by one dime.”
Campaign and Presidency – We know better, don’t we?

“If you like the health care plan you, have you can keep it.”
False - TownHall

Isn’t this ironic, the president that tried his hardest not to become Bush, has been placed in his shoes.  However, where was our “Great and Noble, American Humanity” when Saddam gassed and killed 180 Thousand (that’s a T) Kurds in Halabja, Iraq ?

What, that wasn’t your president or our civil war to fight, and since this is your choice for president you don’t see a problem sending our soldiers to die for the Hamas and Al Qaeda, our enemy? So you have selective humanity.
