Goober- On an unrelated topic how does one go about setting up a poll at the beginning of a thread?
Click to expand...

Prepare your topic as per normal but before you post it scroll down to the near bottom of the page and check the box for a poll. Then hit post thread.

It will then take you to the page to prepare your poll question and choices.

It will autoset to 4 choices but you can change that to a higher or lower number- ask the Pol question - Each choice is numbered - type in the choice. So 4,6 or 8 whatever you choose. But each line-choice must have information. If you decided upon 4 and want to change to 6, check the update box, change to 6.

Set the date to 0- as this will keeep the poll open or set a close date.

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

Obama 'I don't believe military intervention in Syria is the right move for America at this moment'..

In other News.. No oil found in Syria

-----------------------------

Syria says it will not use chemical weapons against its own people.

"No need really, Bombs and bullets seem to do the job just fine."

-----------------------------

President Obama recently said that he couldn't send American troops into Syria without first having a mandate.

Honestly if he's that bothered, I'll go out with him.

-----------------------------

If you're in Syria, you can't read this

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

Eagle is right he does not need Congress to strike. He give the appearance of showing
them respect. In fact its put up or shut up time and he has outplayed the crazies both
in the Republican Party and the Democrats. If they vote No its their fault if the outcome
is bad. If they vote Yes and it goes bad they can't blame him because they voted for it.
For once he has trapped the radical Republican element with their own words.
For some time a bunch of Republicans were chiming he had to go through them which
he doesn't. Now he goes through them and all kinds on the right wingers are making
silly comments about he is backing down.
Personally I hope he stays out of it. Humanitarian is a relative term. We have a bunch
of bloodthirsty murdering scum call the other side a bunch of bloodthirsty murdering
scum.
Let them fight it out and finish the civil war they started. Can you imagine the howling if
the world decided to interfere in a civil war if it were happening in America? Actually
in ideology there is a civil war happening in America and there is nothing civil about it.
The old conservative right wing cannot accept the face of America is changing simple as
that. The face of America will change anyway as life moves on. Trying to stop change
is like trying to hold back the tide.

Don't know 'bout you, but I'm willing to see hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians burned to death to preserve our credibility.

The USA's credibility was demolished in the Iraq build up as seen by the British NO vote.

The UN was created as the world's policeman.

You would think no one wants to see people, not just burned but inhumanely treated but it's goes on in a lot of places and has for a long time.


Alan Grayson lays it out. Does anyone care about what's happening in Burma?

Re: Kerry Says Chemical Arms Attack in Syria Is ‘Undeniable’

Canada to Provide Nutritious Packed Lunches for Syria Attack | THE LAPINE

OTTAWA — U.S. President Barack Obama today asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper for Canada’s help in the coalition attack on Syria.

In a telephone call between the two leaders this morning, Obama and Harper agreed that Canada’s elderly 4-cylinder fighter jets would likely be shot down and the two agreed that Canada’s Chief of Defense Staff General Tom Lawson will immediately take up command of “Mid-Day Dietary Logistics.”

“The Prime Minister sees this as a chance for Canada to help in the on-going battle for democracy and to showcase our country’s fine foods,” read a statement released by the PMO.

As media coverage ramps up, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer made only passing reference to the role Canada’s military will play in the attack saying, “It’s hard to believe that war is actually happening…and that lunch will be provided. By the Canadians.”​

American Troops Have A Message For Obama On Syria: We Didn’t Sign Up To Fight For Al-Qaeda…







Via The Blaze:
Since the U.S. has started serious discussions about taking military action against Syria, many have publicly spoken out against a possible military strike. And now it appears that some of our uniformed service personnel have come forward to express their disagreement with an attack, any attack on Syria.

Re: Kerry Says Chemical Arms Attack in Syria Is ‘Undeniable’

Kerry's cosy dinner with Syria's 'Hitler'

Secretary of State and the man he likened to German dictator are pictured dining with their wives at Damascus restaurant before civil war broke out


  • Kerry pictured around a small table with his wife and the Assads in 2009
  • Assad and Kerry lean in towards each other, deep in conversation
  • Picture taken in February 2009 when Kerry led a delegation to Syria
  • Kerry yesterday compared Assad to Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein




seems like yesterday...
