Syria - Be Very Afraid


BRT doesn't discuss politics to any great extent but when it comes to Syria and the potential for catastrophic disaster by committing unilateral military action against a country who poses no threat to the US requires that something must be said and Putin does this in very direct fashion by demanding absolute proof as to who actually gassed the Syrian civilians on August 21, 2013. Additionally, Putin's response is also a wake up call to Obama as this unnecessary and very dangerous gamesmanship he is playing regarding Russia, who's vital national interest is irrevocably connected to Syria, is not Libya, Iraq or Afghanistan by any stretch of the imagination.

Addendum: Impeachment: Congress Fires Opening Shot Across Obama’s Bow.

Text from letter of Rep. Scott Regall (R, VA) to Pres. Obama
Signed by 116 Reps, including 18 Democrats

“We strongly urge you to consult and receive authorization from Congress before ordering the use of U.S. military force in Syria. Your responsibility to do so is prescribed in the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

“While the Founders wisely gave the Office of the President the authority to act in emergencies, they foresaw the need to ensure public debate – and the active engagement of Congress – prior to committing U.S. military assets. Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”
