Turkish Military Strikes Targets inside Syria

You may *selectively* count this one as factual since others are also reporting it, but go whichever the wind blows. No skin off my nose. ...

ran's Revolutionary Guard said it launched a series of missiles at Syrian terror bases in revenge for deadly attacks on its capital that were claimed by Islamic State. The attack on Sunday was the first missile launch by Iran outside its own territory in 30 years, since the Iran-Iraq war which ran from 1980 to 88, media in the Islamic republic reported. It came hours after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a statement on his website, vowed Iran would 'slap its enemies ...

Syria crisis: David Cameron's plea to MPs over evidence MPs are debating a government motion which could pave the way for military action in Syria following a chemical attack near Damascus. David Cameron said he was convinced the Assad regime was behind the attack and there was a "clear legal basis" for targeted strikes to save lives. But he understood public cynicism about it after "the Iraq episode". Labour's Ed Miliband said he was not against intervention but more evide ...

Report: Israel attacks target in Syria January 30, 2013 JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel reportedly attacked a target inside Syria. The report of the attack on a site near the Syrian border with Lebanon came Wednesday afternoon, hours after reports came out of Lebanon that Israel had flown several sorties over its territory on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Throwing free speech to the wind, if these Dems don't get on board with Obama, they will be ostracized for daring to disagree. "The liberal Coalition to Stop Gun Violence released a video ad Wednesday condemning Democratic Georgia Rep. John Barrow for not fully supporting President Barack Obamaâ��s gun control policies. "The ad, which states, 'Shame on You, John Barrow,' is an attempt to force the Democrat to change his position and 'support the presidentâ��s gu ...

Which is 31 more than the Democrats hit -- ever. Newly confirmed Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by presiding over 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Mattis entered the Pentagon Saturday with a smile for his first full day of work, and for good reason, considering the significant bombardment ISIS forces received. Though these kinds of strikes take weeks or even months to plan and don’t rely on the SecDef’s g ...

As I told my little Republican friend, biotch, vote and ye shall receive! For some reason, I don't think all the old people that voted in numbers this last election were actually planning for their Medicare to be cut! Today's upcoming report by the White House's fiscal commission is expected to include recommendations to raise the retirement age for Social Security and cut Medicare benefits -- two policy prescriptions that will be met with deep opposition from Democrats a ...

Just heard from someone I know who used to work for a Sutter Health multispecialty clinic in Palo Alto, CA, whose Transcription Department closed down in June when they implemented Dragon Voice Recognition. Dragon is sure an appropriate name for that software, because every where it goes, it burns down entire transcription departments. Be afraid, be very afraid. ...

I used to watch Fox. That was 20 years ago before I saw what they really are. Then, I found out the news they routinely left out and about the crazy fascination with conspiracy theories. Guess they are making up their own by now ...

Rescues hostage. Beautiful. What a military we have. ...

they can't kill the 18 terrorists in Libya who are responsible for the attacks on the consulate. Holder DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE. He also wants them to have a criminal trial over here - what?? - because he can't send them to Gitmo, because, oh who knows, maybe because Gitmo was supposed to be closed by now. I think it's just because he doesn't like killing Muslims. Americans, okay. This team of thugs and incompetents really ne ...

The Supreme Court of Virginia on Friday struck down Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s executive order restoring voting rights to 206,000 felons, dealing a severe blow to what the governor has touted as one of his proudest achievements in office. In a 4-3 ruling, the court declared McAuliffe’s order unconstitutional, saying it amounts to a unilateral rewrite and suspension of the state’s policy... The court majority found that McAuliffe did indeed overstep his authority. “Never before hav ...

Houthi warn of "wide war". Warplanes from Saudi Arabia and Arab allies struck Shi'ite Muslim rebels fighting to oust Yemen's president on Thursday, a gamble by the world's top oil exporter to check Iranian influence in its backyard without direct military backing from Washington. Riyadh's rival Iran denounced the assault on the Houthi militia group, which it backs, and made clear the kingdom's deployment of a Sunni coalition against Shi'ite enemies would complica ...

Guess that is what happens when you think you are above the law, Governor has-been. Checks and balances. Gotta love 'em. 221 days and counting. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/05/wi-judge-strikes-down-walkers-anti-union-law.php ...

It was the state's second major loss in court in three days, coming after a separate federal panel ruled Tuesday that Texas' Republican-dominated Legislature failed to avoid "discriminatory purposes" when drawing new maps for congressional districts and both houses of the state Legislature to reflect the Texas' booming population. A report by the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan legal think tank in New York, determined that new voting restrictions could suppress the vote ...

Libyan state television showed footage from an unidentified hospital of what it called victims of the "colonial enemy." Ten bodies were wrapped up in white and blue bed sheets, and several people were wounded, one of them badly, the television said. Western intervention, after weeks of diplomatic wrangling, was welcomed with a mix of apprehension and relief in Benghazi, where the main hospital was filled with men, women and children wounded in Saturday's assault on the city by Gaddafi' ...

The divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the so- ...

Really? You mean the courts are finally going to start doing their job? A federal appeals court said Friday that President Obama overstepped his authority with a series of recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. The case may wind up in the Supreme Court and determine how far the president can go in appointing people whose nominations would be filibustered in the Senate. The result could affect the standing of other Obama appointees, such as the head of the president's ...

The City of Paris has struck a corporate partnership with French industrial giant, Lafarge, recently accused of secretly sponsoring the Islamic State (Isis or Daesh) for profit. Documents obtained by several journalistic investigations reveal that Lafarge has paid taxes to the terror group to operate its cement plant in Syria, and even bought Isis oil for years. Yet according to the campaign group, SumOfUs, Lafarge is the corporate partner and sand provider to the City of Paris for this su ...

U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress. Strikes against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., C ...

The unclassified report shows the chemical weapons were used by Assad. He has not made a final decision. He is not considering any open-ended or military action that involves boots-on-the-ground but will be a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that Syria and others around the world know that using chemical weapons are not acceptable. You'll have to look up newspaper reports. I don't know if there's any as of yet. ...

For why gas is reason for a drawing a "red line," see #4. #3 explains Obama's grim, pragmatic long-term goal for a region way beyond our ability to actually control. (Note that this article, like all the others, does not explain what happened to change our very deliberative White House's announcement of a strike to an announcement of intention to seek Congressional approval. Something that, whatever else, made them decide to set the strike date back.) Up to Speed: Five Things ...

Hmmm. What was that meeting between Russia and Obama last week? I think Obama knew this was going to happen before the attacks today. Russia is up to no good and Obama fell for :Putin's crap once again....or doese this go back to that open mic event where Obama told the representative from Russia to tell Putin he would have more flexibility when he was re-elected? Really too much info from the link I'm going to provide, but this is NOT good. Kerry is speaking before the U.N. Security ...

Official: Syria moving chemical weapons components By PAULINE JELINEK and BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press Posted: 12/03/2012 06:16:25 AM PST Updated: 12/03/2012 11:59:02 AM PST WASHINGTON—U.S. and allied intelligence have detected Syrian movement of chemical weapons components in recent days, a senior U.S. defense official said Monday, as the Obama administration strongly warned the Assad regime against using them. A senior defense official said intelligenc ...

Now what will Obama do? Syria crossed the line that Obama drew. President Obama has said the verified use of chemical weapons by the regime would be a "red line" and a "game-changer" for U.S. and international military intervention in the Syrian civil war. Syria has been stockpiling chemical weapons and reports indicate it has sarin, tabun,along with mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. A 2011 CIA report said Syria was also developing the potent nerve agent VX, which could render a city uninha ...
