Why is Barack Obama preparing a military response to the Syrian chemical attack when the United States never responded militarily to the Benghazi terrorist attack?
Almost precisely one year ago Barack Obama drew a red line in regards to Syria; if chemical weapons were used in Syria Barack Obama stated his calculus would change and the United Stated would be forced to do something about it.
Then last week it was reported that chemical weapons were used against the civilians in Syria and today John Kerry made it official. Our government is telling us that it was Syrian President Bashar Assad who used these weapons, but it is quite possible that the rebels got control of these weapons and used them to draw the United States into the conflict on their side.
While our government is claiming it was Assad who used the chemical weapons this is the same Obama regime who falsely claimed for weeks on end that a youtube video was responsible for the terrorist attack in Benghazi which left Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods dead when everyone knew this was not the case, so forgive me if I feel as if the Obama regime has no credibility.
And speaking of Benghazi.
At this point we do not know what Barack Obama’s response will be to the Syrian situation but we do know this, it will be more than the response given to the terrorist attack in Benghazi. In that case the United States responded to the violence by condemning a video and apologizing for the disgusting video.
Why does Barack Obama feel it is the obligation of the United States to interfere militarily in a civil war because chemical weapons were used against the civilians in Syria when he didn’t feel obligated to respond militarily either during–when he might have been able to save American lives–or after the terrorist attack which killed Unites States citizens?
Let us look at Barack Obama’s pitiful record in the Middle East to see if we can draw any conclusions: In Egypt Barack Obama supported the ouster of Hosni Mubarak even though it was known that the rebels fighting in Egypt were actually part of a terrorist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Libya Barack Obama supported the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi even though it was known at the time that the rebels were actually al-Qaeda. After Gaddafi met his demise it was these same al-Qaeda operatives who led the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. That’s right, the rebels Barack Obama supported turned around attacked the United States in Benghazi and yet nobody else seems to be making this connection.
And this brings us back to Syria. Who are the rebels Barack Obama is about to support? None other than al-Qaeda, does anyone else see a pattern here?
I am not defending Mubarak, Gaddafi, or Assad, these men were brutal dictators and the world will be a better place without them. But these men were not an immediate threat to Israel, but if al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood come to power they will be.
The questions which beg to be asked at this point are: Whose side is Barack Obama on, and what is his endgame? The Middle East is on fire and is more destabilized than it has been in years and it is all of Barack Obama’s doing, one has to wonder if this is all going according to his plan.

This is a tough nut to crack! Far too many if’s and’s and but’s for my simple taste. But when I look at those kids in Syria who have been gasses I just want those murders to be stopped no matter which side committed these unspeakable acts. I don’t know Obama’s reason for action or inaction in the case of Syria. Like you however, I do smell a cover-up in Benghazi, but this Syrian thing is something else. I do however, like you, fear the the out come of the Syrian Civil War in regards of what that victory by the rebels could mean to the Jewish state. I am wondering what their reaction is to the chemical attacts on civilians just across their borders. We both know that if such attacks should come against Israel from Syria, the Syrian sands would turn to glass. Things are spinning out of control in the Middle East and president Obama must bear part of the responsibility.

This despicable excuse for an American and a commander in chief has a sinecure protected by the media, the military and the congress as well as half of the 300 million population in this country. No blame will fall on him for his traitorous misdeeds; in fact if he could rig a run for a third term he would win by an even greater margin than he did in 2012. As anyone with a third grade education should know (today’s equivalent of a high school efucation) is that he is responsible for setting the middle east on fire. It took Germany two world wars to achieve in the Middle East Obama accomplished with one fell swoop of his forked tongue. It appears that he must retain power after 2016 in order to finish his handiwork. After all neither the wicked witch of the east or slip if the tongue Biden has the gravitas (credit Mario Cuomo for slipping that one into our everyday lexicon) to continue and finish what this SOB has started.

With all that is known about Benghazi at this point I lean strongly toward believing Obama took no action because whatever secret shenanigans he was up to would likely have been exposed. Better to let them men die, then make it all go away. With Syria, it’s a golden opportunity to distract from all the scandals, from the Obamacare disaster and hopefully try to survive the midterms without losing the Senate. And if our soldiers end up being sent to Syria and some get killed, Obama has proven with Benghazi that he will not care.

The Libyan police arrested 6 Egyptians for the Benghazi attack. In the Libyan police report, the prisoners confessed to the attack and said they were given their instructions from Morsi, The Egyptian president at the time. That is the only part of your article I might have a problem with. The Egyptian government says it has proof that would link Obama to this terrorist activity. I find it very strange indeed how he always picks the side that is linked to Al Qeada. Even though he has this to distract the American citizens from his scandals they will not go away. There is a grass root movement called “Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment” that’s gaining a lot of ground across the country. They have members in all 50 states. This is one way people can speak up for impeachment of the traitor. Another thing I suggest is everyone Contact John Boehner’s office and ask why they haven’t started a investigation into Benghazi yet. As Americans we need to speak up and let our voiices be heard before this tyrant takes away our right to. Good Article.

I do remember something about Morsi being directly involved now that you mention it, there is just so much that it is hard to keep it all straight.

Either that or part of the deal Boehner struck with Obama to exempt federal employees from Obamacare was to let these scandals fade away.

Mr. Dennis, I would like to say that your article brings up great points. But I would like to bring up one more for you, where’s the prove of the chemical attack?

It looks to me that I do not agree with America’s Watchtower on many points and key issues, but he has a point about Syria? To broaden the scope from Obama and take a gander during the years 1983-2005 when the Second Sudanese War was ongoing, why did we not use emotionalism to justify military involvement during that war when 2 million people died? Many of the 2 million dead were civilians including small children and babies who were brutally murdered. The most we have done I ever heard was bomb an aspirin factory. So we eliminated their relief from future and ongoing headaches; increasing the suffering? Why Syria? We are not affected or threatened in any way. Obama is being a bully who is throwing his weight around who I believe is helping Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood. Nothing else makes sense. Word of advice, “Never wage war or conduct military action out of emotionalism”.

The difference with the Benghazi attack is the fact that this was a well planned out act of war which left four Americans, including our ambassador dead, and yet Obama didn’t see fit to do anything about it.

My question is this; why is everybody acting like Obama is the only one stepping in the doo-doo? Bush dragged us into the Iraq war over fabricated WMD — how many people died because of that? Bin Laden escaped Tora Bora because Bush denied the needed support to block his escape; because he was staging them for the Iraq invasion. Before that it was Clinton’s many scandals, Reagan’s Iran Contra…. on and on it goes. Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, dem or republican — our government is rotten to the core and the citizens are in no position to change anything. Who makes the laws? The criminal politicians. So on and on it goes — now that a dem is in office, all the republicans are shocked and enraged. Next term it will be a republican, and all the dems will be outraged and the cycle continues. Running parallel to this cycle is the never ending cycle of Middle East madness. Folks, that will NEVER change. Let’s wean ourselves off the oil so that we can ignore that part of the world. If it weren’t for our oil money, those knuckleheads would still be running around their neighborhoods barefoot and armed with nothing more than slingshots.

The reason why everyone is focusing on this is because it is happening right now while those other events were in the past. It does no good to re-litigate what has been endlessly debated when there is nothing we can do about it.
