So they're going to attack Syria?
I thought they were getting ready to attack Iran. Who's really next on their list? Iran or Syria?

1. I say, "Venezuela."
That's where the good oil reserves are. Iran and Syria are diversions. Keep your eye on the ball - OIL.

10. Do not kill yourself - we need someone who calls ..
themselves "Stop the War" too much.

They would have to get permission from Congress. We will just have to scream and yell a whole lot.

3. Take your pick.
It seems that this administration rolls with the wind. I guess the blowhard has not made up his mind yet. Stay tuned!

5. Syria would be an "easier" target...
...because their military isn't as strong as Iran's. And strategically, it would weaken both Iran and Lebanon because an occupying US army would cut off the arms supply route.

9. Yep, Syria has a much smaller population

that mostly live around Damascus.

I just caught a bit of the evening news. Looks like we are going to have to go save the poor Lebanese people this time.

I'm sure Israel will feel much more secure.

7. Iran.
This is the "fake them out" move. You know, say one thing, do the opposite.
