I totally disagree, Obama does not want to go into Syria.

It's only natural Bitsy to post links to newspapers that support your opinion or argumen
I read the news on the internet like the CBC, NPR, CBS, AOl, CNN, and I have NPR on my radio just about 24/7 as well as watching television news. If those sources are dubious then so are yours.
I am not confused at all Bitsy. The news is there to read. I hope for the sake of Americans that Obama doesn't go into Syria and open a can of worms involving Israel. They are passing out gas masks. . |

So then when he attacks Syria it will be those awful Republicans who FORCED him to action? Poor dear sounds like a marionette. Or will he blame BUSH and CHENEY? Maybe the ghost of Saddam Hussein? Nobody ELSE wants to go into Syria. The American people are against it 91 to 9. Congress has not been asked. I hope you are right Bitsy and his "not wanting to go into Syria" will result in his actually "not going into Syria." But I think the chances are slim and our little black Hitler will start yet another war, perhaps this weekend. Edited by Trotsky, Aug 31 2013, 05:50 AM.

I generally post news stories, Campy, to start the discussion. If I make a point in the discussion that needs substantiation, I will link to my source, which may or may not have a bias depending upon the story being discussed. My sources are very main stream, and if you were familiar with US publications you would know that without having to be told. . I see now that you have changed your story remember telling us “I don't read the papers. I get all my information in this forum”.
You assertion that Obama wanted to go to Syria was either confusion or a disregard from what has been said for the past year. I hope for the sake of the world, not just America, that Obama doesn’t go into Syria. |

The latest poll on US intervention in Syria.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/08/30/half-of-americans-oppose-broad-military-action-in-syria-poll-finds/
I hope I am right also, Trotsky. Obama seems to believe some misguided notion that this is a stand against chemical weapons being used in future attacks. If I believed that to be the case, I would be cheering for an intervention. The limited scope of what is being discussed publicly will do nothing to deter the use of these weapons and though we have the ability to temporarily disrupt the delivery of such weapons, we cannot destroy or prevent access to the chemicals. Now is not the time for a moral indignation stand of high risks and low benefits. Nor is it the time for a principled stand for human rights throughout the world; now is the time to choose our battles wisely. |

What I am telling you is that you only post stories to support your argument. You don't post an opposing view.
The news editions like CBS, CNN online are not in my opinion. I don't go to the Toronto Star, or the Globe and Mail and I told you about listening to NPR radio on my car radio and at home so I haven't changed my story. I don't read newspaper editions but I am not totally bereft of the news Bitsy. I read the news on my tablet every night.
Look. When Britain and Canada don't want to join up with Obama and the U.S. that means Obama want's to go there and they don't. That's the only reason for Obama holding back. At least that's what I read and interpret in the news. |

That is not true; the more excuses you make the more I realize that you read most posts with a jaundiced eye and your own perception of what is being said.
Are not what?
That is a big difference than what you said.....“I don't read the papers. I get all my information in this forum”. Perhaps you should have explained yourself better before making that comment.
Please stop trying to change horses in mid stream. Our conversation had nothing to do with Britain or Canada. Our conservation began when you said that Obama wanted to go into Syria; I said you were mistaken and provided your with examples and sources dating back for the last year of his reluctance to intervene militarily in Syria . The Britain and Canada development is a new thing, it only happened yesterday so please get back to your original point that Obama wanted to go into Syria and tell me what formed the basis of your opinion. |

O.K.Bitsy. Obama doesn't want to go to Syria but he's going anyway. |

And we see how well "freedom" worked in Iraq... So, Campy, does telling the truth make a news source "biased?" And you do realize our conservatives consider NPR to be a liberally-biased cesspool that should be tarred and feathered? |

Well no but the person using it is biased in their opinion by only posting news stories that agree with their opinion. What comes to mind is the "global warming' debate. There are two sides to that story. It's not all doom and gloom. And sometimes the 'truth' as you call it is stretched by the source. I love NPR news. I don't find it biased at all. I have it on my tablet and I listen to the news at night. They don't seem to have opinionated reporters commenting. They just read the news. And the music after and before the news. ? Classical music without a ton of interruptions. Great stuff. |

I presume all the tea in the White House has been dumped in the Rose Garden and nobody is allowed to announce their weight in "pounds" anymore. |

Uh, 98% of climate scientists and most of the world believes in global warming and the gloom/doom. Might want to ask the people of Boulder, Colorado what they think. |
