It's a done deal now

(CNN) -- The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will take up a bipartisan authorization bill Wednesday for the use of force in Syria, sources told CNN.
The resolution, which limits the authorization to 60 days with an option for an additional 30 days, was revised to address some of the concerns expressed during a Senate committee hearing Tuesday.
At the hearing, top U.S. officials faced tough questions from senators about plans for military strikes as House leaders lined up behind President Barack Obama's call to punish Syria for an August poison gas attack near Damascus.
Afterward, Foreign Relations Chairman Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, said he and the committee's ranking Republican, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker successfully negotiated a revised bill.
According to a copy of that text, provided to CNN by a legislative source, the bill limits the authorization to 60 days with an option for an additional 30-day deadline. It also makes clear there would be no U.S. boots on the ground.
"Together we have pursued a course of action that gives the President the authority he needs to deploy force in response to the Assad regime's criminal use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people, while assuring that the authorization is narrow and focused, limited in time, and assures that the Armed Forces of the United States will not be deployed for combat operations in Syria," Menendez said.
"With this agreement, we are one step closer to granting the President the authority to act in our national security interest," he added.

And I say this with more respect than most have earned from me here.....SPAM.

But, I am pretty sure this is correct.

WW3 is upon us.

No, no. In WW2 Sunni unrest, was a very important strategic play Hitler almost won before the USA got in. Yet, he did manage to mold some Gestapo contamination into the Sunni Jihad contamination. And he finally managed to piss off the Jews.

But, for US this is Sunni Jihad and will only erupt into world wa,r as Jihad. A clash of war cults but as a termination of WW2, gestapo, nazi and jihad.

I hope it has not come to that...but we will never sit by again. We are in position to have it or not, this actual WW3 if you will.

We don't want that. But, everyone should understand, we may well want just that.

Nothing better for a global economy.

but ww2 was an inevitable outgrowth of WW1 which was at it's heart a struggle between totalitarianism and liberal elnightenment

the ottoman empire (the last mohammedan empire of note) sided with totalitarianism (shocker, i know) and lost. the half assed dissolution of their holdings created the festering wounds which erupted in ww2, and the FURTHER half assed response to THOSE festering wounds has persisted til today.

this aint ww3, its ww1.2

wahabbists hate the living shit out of baathists, if you throw a fight against baathists, wahabbists would join the IDF or the USMC for a chance to take a few pokes.

arguing that any anti baathist rebellion DOESNT contain a huge wahabbbist contingent would be ridiculous.

thats like claiming the Moslem Brotherhood doesnt have links to al quaeda, or the JDL doesnt have links to Jews.

i dont know where some of these clowns (msnbc) get their ideas from (cnn) but they should really pull their heads out of their rectums (RT)

Ok I read the mainstream articles. So far I see that the US supplied weapons but where are the rebels linked to Al Q?
