The Rockets' Red Glare


Will (American) rockets glare (red) on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington?
  • ...while Pres. Obama addresses the 50th anniversary celebrants?
What would MLK, Jr., think?

The drums of war.

In any event, I hope at least that this time there has not been another "intelligence failure."

N.B. Do you think Pres. Obama should try to get Congress to declare war on Syria? (I can't think of another recent situation in which a U.S. President is better situated to try to get such a declaration from Congress: Pres. Obama can hardly object that he needs the advantage of surprise; the whole world knows an attack is coming. [What's that? Oh, you say this attack falls short of being "war"? Mmm. I'll have to think about that. {What if Syria retaliates? Mmm.}])

I am so glad Prime Minister Cameron is volunteering the use of American military forces - instead of the massive UK military forces that are readily available to him.

This attack on Syria will be a surgical attack, correct? That is: No innocent people will be killed. Isn't that correct?
