Exactly. Living by the constitiution was never supposed to be easy but if you do so it will help keep you honest and help filter out the hypocrisy and BS.

Iraq War Veterans Warn Against Syrian Entanglement

I am currently in a dialysis center with Kathy and have no headphones. I will listen when I get back. Thanks
Sorry I assumed, wrongly, that it was an audio/video. The comment about the lack of an endgame is interesting. I am under the impression that the end game was to simply send a strong message pertaining the the use of chemical weapons.
Big Al, most reasonable, as he always is.
The best sign I’ve seen today is:

I hope all three major powers keep open their lines of communication.
Thanks for the “most reasonable” comment Professor.
The article in Zero Hedge, gives me an awful lot of hope. How about you?
It appears to demonstrate that China is not inflexible in its policy.
The Chinese are very intelligent and hopefully will choose negotiaton and compromise, which could change a lose-lose situation into 1/ win-1/2win for the US and China.
The US has given voluntarily and involuntarily a significant amount of technology and wealth.
I hope the Chinese appreciate that, even though they have also worked hard.
I agree totally CFS
Al, I think the situation in Syria has more to do with a power struggle and who gets to build a gas pipeline to Europe than it has to do with religion. If you look at history, religious wars almost always have their roots in power and money. The religious dogma is just a tool to get people motivated against the other side. I don’t see this as being any different. People are being played.
We really need to stick to the facts. There is still no more proof that the Assad regime dropped the chemical weapons than there was in 2013. A govt saying “trust us, we know what is best” is not good enough. We need a higher standard. I thought Trump was smarter than this. Either he is really that stupid or he is playing a dangerous game. Either way, it is wrong.
Some people don’t have the time to read the postings and only listen to the podcasts.
I would love it if you interviewed Bob Moriarty on your show again. He has a view that needs to be heard more often.
Thanks for a great show. I know of no other like it.
Paul W. I will reach out to Bob yet again.
Given the nature of us humans, you are probably correct in your assessment, Paul W
Paul W, If you are right then Tillerson (ex Exxon-Mobil) may not the the best advisor for Trump.
He does not appear to have great choices for advice, with Ivanka, Kushner, Priebus and now Tillerson possibly a problem with bias.
If you are accurate in your assumption, CFS, you are certainly correct.
There is always a story and a reason. The two rarely coincide. The STORY in Syria is we need to get rid of Assad. The REASON is we want to build a pipeline through there and Assad said take a hike. The STORY in Iraq is we were going after WMDs. The REASON is Saddam was pumping too much oil driving prices down so we had to do something about it to appease our OPEC Masters in Saudi Arabia. And on, and on, and on…
I think that this particular comment has a lot of credibility, Jason.
The impression that I had back then was that Saddam was on the verge of restructering the petro dollar.
I actually like Tillerson. He is an outsider who has traveled a lot, while working with foreign govts. He may understand the motivation of the players involved better than most. People have been talking about the Syrian pipelines for years. A good article from 2015 came out on JSMineset a day ago…worth reading.
Thanks for the link, Paul W. I will read it now.
Thanks Paul W. that article was a great reminder and a great summary. I did not see any credit to Mr. Sinclair. Did I miss it?
Sorry for the confusion. JSMineset posted a link to the article a couple of days ago.
Absolutely no problem Paul W. Again I certainly appreciated a renewal of the gas pipeline situation.
Thanks for the clarification …
Al BETTER clarify! I can’t wait to get to my car so that I can listen!
Clarify more that I did in the editorial? What would you like to know as I pride myself on being an open book.
Guess which country created The Korean mess in 1952, they could have found a way to negotiate a peace treaty, but they didn’t and here we are sixty five years later staring at a nuclear confrontation with North Korea. DT
As sure as God made little apples we will see the nuclear genie released from it’s container once again.
Yes, Mr. Tracy here we are sixty years later!
No Al, it was 65 not 60. DT
Actually, Mr. Tracy, it goes, “As sure as God made little green apples”!
I guess the truth hurts.DT
This just out via zero hedge….
Intelligence and Military Sources Who Warned About WMD Lies Before Iraq War Now Say that Assad Did NOT Use Chemical Weapons
Okay, my opinion: not “who your gonna call anymore but “who you gonna believe?”
Exclusive: North Korean ships head home after China orders coal returned
MTF, let’s hope it’s not too little to late. DT
just stoking the fire……..
I think that the loose cannon in North Korea gets the message that he has very little support.
Trump pulled a good one………N Korean coal, is not allowed to go to China, ….and China is buying US COAL….China needs a lot of coal. West Virginia and Kentucky should be happy.
Many thanks for this information, Markedtofuture!
Tillerson not doing to well with Russia……..
Till Tillerman, to tell Putin, ….no coal in his stockings for christmas……..
Seoul’s Vulnerability Is Key to War Scenarios
The wild card is China and their army massed on North Korea’s border, I can see several outcomes none of them as a peace keeping force. DT
That point is certainly logical.
Simply want to say your article is as astonishing. The clarity in your post is just cool and i can assume you are an expert on this subject. Fine with your permission let me to grab your RSS feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the rewarding work.

Big Al, we can’t tell who drop that chemical agent is Syria whithout a proper investigation, and Mr. Trump can not fire missiles in another country without congress approval. So, how Mr. McKinney say that he is a constitutionalist?
