Is that how you judge the mood of America Henry. You look around at a few Right Wing Blogs and then just invent data from your observation?
America will support reasonable actions to help prevent the return of Chemical Weapons.
Your source is from June box, the majority want nothing to do with Syria, get off your knees and go look.

OK... I'm waiting for a source more recent than mine. Do you have anything other than your opinion???

The Reuters/Ipsos poll, taken August 19-23, found that 25 percent of Americans would support U.S. intervention if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces used chemicals to attack civilians, while 46 percent would oppose it. That represented a decline in backing for U.S. action since August 13, when Reuters/Ipsos tracking polls found that 30.2 percent of Americans supported intervention in Syria if chemicals had been used, while 41.6 percent did not.

I support an 'effective' attack that would limit the use of chemical weapons in the area, by either side.
IMO, Iran, who was the subject of a similar attack a few months ago, is watching to see if the USA will step in when international laws are breached on this issue.
If the USA backs away from the Chemical issue in Syria, Iran will have the green light to use them against their enemies.
The president is now talking about a "symbolic" attack. I doubt that would be effective and I would be against some show of force with no real impact on Chemical weapons.
Again. I'm against helping either side in this conflict. I'm for an action that would limit the use of Chemical weapons.

This is not about chemicals box this is about returning the upper hand to the rebels, they have been on this for months, what do you think the recent talks were for before this, it was to fund and arm them to give them the upper hand. This is why I said Assad had nothing to gain by using these weapons but the FSA surely did and they used them before. When it was found out Sarin was used months ago everyone in DC prepared to act, then it automatically stopped once they learned it was the FSA behind it. Now they were trying to rush a attack before the proof is even out and once again they blamed Assad, this is why nobody buys it anymore even with the media and politicians pushing hard to get support.

besides, bombing them is not war, it is a sign of love and peace
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I'm glad you added your well thought out input Graham!
It's a take off on your often quoted "Bush Bad, Obama Good" theme!

I don't buy your assessment Henry. Aiding the rebels is aiding Al Qaeda. No matter how this turns out any situation that supports Al Qaeda is against US interests.
IMO, this mission is about Chemical Weapons, not aiding either side.

Box is right, there are many from the boomer generation, both the neocon statist right and liberal statist left that like a "reasonable" amount of state sponsored killing, whatever the reason. As long as there is a pile of dead people, they feel they did at least something. Even if it was just as immoral and as much of an atrocity as the atrocity they were claiming to stop.

Do you see a pattern here? Every morning Cicero wakes up, reads new posts, then distorts the post with yet another STRAWMAN.
Was my post about a reasonable amount of state sponsored killing. NO It was about action taken to limit the use of chemical weapons. Should I answer Cicero's silly post with a STRAWMAN of my own?
"Cicero supports the use of Chemical Weapons and hopes that Chemical Weapons catch on as the new tool of choice in the middle east!"
There. Now we've both misstated each others position. We've each spent some time and effort composing and posting a useless argument. Why bother???

A new NBC News poll finds 50% believe the United States should not intervene in the wake of suspected chemical weapons attacks by Syrian President Bashar Assad. But the public is more supportive of military action when it's limited to launching cruise missiles from U.S. naval ships -50% favor that kind of intervention, while 44% oppose it.
It seems that America wants the US to use 'stand off' weapons in this operation, but not any invasion or ground troops inside Syria.
