That's what the newsstand edition of this mornings Los Angeles Times was screaming at it's citizens. I almost wet me pants. Instead of getting my morning coffee fruit and bagel I should be stockpiling for the future. I wondered what the hell had happened overnight. Naturally it was about the tragic events in Syria and upon reading it was a story about the rebels (?) in syria prepared to wage war and giving up on a peaceful solution. The sub-headline read " Syria rebels say they're preparing for war" which lead me to wonder just what exactly it is they have been doing up until this point. I seem to have an extremely shaky grasp on this word "war". I know officially it is a rebellion and no one declared an act of war...I saw star wars so I know of rebellions :D... but semantics aside if someone is fighting back against an unwanted force wouldn't that constitute a war? I guess it's time for me top check out wikitionary or whatever the neck it's called


My second thought was that sam zell was taking the roll of hearst and his roll in promoting the spanish-american war. or maybe just trying to grab some eyeballs and thus a little more income. Maybe all of the above.

My third thought was that this ( the headline) would turn out to be one of those self fulfilling prophecies thing, I thought I heard in a newscast yesterday that somebody at jcos said the military is ready if called upon? I hope that was from a dream last night. Sounds silly I know but coming from a place that is none to shy about overseas adventures I am concerned here.

Just out of curiosity is there any southern california members with la times home delivery? Did you wake up to the same "news" I did?

Edit: I tried changing the thread title in tapatalk, no go. As I was walking to work in other news stands the headline was "girding for war" which is probably what I saw, I just needlessly altered it in my head
 
this is probably old news to some, but just go ahead and google wesley clark+ seven countries in five years,
actually i'll do it

Google
later he retracted i believe. it's on the record, youtube videos and all. Syria is in all likelihood, a done deal..."We're going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran"

anything in that list sound familiar? if the five years hasn't come to fruition, it may only be because iraq was a tougher slog than was imagined. if iraq was tough, syria will be much worse, with or without the u.s. involvement, the weapons and training they have recieved by being a russian proxy over the years is an inconvenient fact. assad didn't run his country down like hussein did and the russians aren't going to let any involvement...whatever it's form...go unanswered
if you do check the link out, be sure to watch the youtube vids

maybe this thread needs to be moved to conspiracy?
