43. My infowars nut brother emailed an Alex Jones story about this a couple of days ago!

I have NO idea why, after I've told him infowars/Jones have zero credibility and yet he still sends those links.

I wholeheartedly second your sentiment re: Bush v Obama. The thought of our getting into another quagmire sickens me, so I'm hoping that he agrees that patience is needed. Let the UN do their job first this time. When all the facts are in, then he should decide. Personally, as much as the slaughter of innocents upsets me, deep down I really don't want us to get involved.

And how this story is handled will be even more interesting! Squinch Aug 2013 #1
