So who do we trust about this whole Syria thing? On the one hand we have a president who has and continues to lie and obstruct an investigation into the Benghazi murders and Fast and Furious. We have John "...to my knowledge I have no knowledge..." Kerry who lied about our vets in Viet Nam, James Clapper who said that the Muslim Brotherhood was basically a secular group who have 'eschewed violence' in a Congressional hearing, Chuck Hagel who doesn't seem to be able to make a coherent statement about anything. Then there is Samantha Power who says the administration thought that if they told Iran that Syria used chemical weapons they would drop support for Syria.
   On the other hand we have "YouTube videos" showing Syria's military firing the weapons and just as many showing the so-called 'rebels' firing them. We are being told by Progressives from both parties that we have to hit Syria now. There are no "Hollywood Heavy Weights" pushing from either side like they did during the Bush administration. We were told a "You Tube" video was the reason for the Benghazi murders but that turned out to be complete 'B.S.'
  To me it seems obvious that as the pressure mounted on the scandals facing the president, a "Dog began to wag". I feel horrible for those innocent people caught in the middle of this situation but I cannot help but believe that there is more going on than we are seeing or being told. No matter what we do or don't do Islam will not end and therefore neither will the senseless killings. If we attack Assad we help the Muslim Brotherhood and their Al Qaeda cohorts. If we stay out and do nothing we help Iran secure a launching point for missiles and or troops against Israel. It's a lose lose situation for America so why should we send our troops into harms way.
The likelihood of things getting worse if we get involved is very strong. I believe what we are seeing is a crisis being exploited by this president and by Iran.
   The only thing we can and should do is pray for the innocents and help them escape any way we can and then follow Sarah Palin's advice and let Allah sort out the rest.
