Harkin on Classified Syria Briefing: 'Frankly Raised More Questions Than It Answered'
President Obama has some work to do if he wants congressional authority to bomb Syria. Already some of his liberal allies are questioning the evidence which is supposed to show that Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people.

To some, US case for Syrian gas attack, strike has too many holes
The Obama administration s public case for attacking Syria is riddled with inconsistencies and hinges mainly on circumstantial evidence, undermining U.S. efforts this week to build support at home and abroad for a punitive strike against Bashar Assad s regime.

Can you trust the case for war this time?
Downsize DC
by Perry Willis
09/03/13
Before we opened Downsize DC, our team opposed the Iraq invasion in 2003 with a website called Truth About War. We predicted that Iraq had no WMDs. The war mongers hated that. We got death threats. Well, we were right, and they were wrong. But we also argued a larger point...Politicians cannot be trusted when they argue for war...

'Surgical strikes' an Orwellian dream
Antiwar.com
by Kelley B. Vlahos
09/03/13
For people whose threshold is about 12 minutes before whining for a new checker when the grocery line is too long, a queue that wraps around the store, out the door and into the parking lot would be a new and most unwelcome misery. Throw in the cloud of collective punishment, frightened children, the prospect of elderly parents not being able to travel, banks and gas stations closing and stocks diving, and you ve got panic.

by Bob Dreyfuss
09/01/13
It s up to Congress now to stop President Obama s push for war. That ought not be encouraging, even though rogue Republican neo-isolationists and Obama-haters in the House might still vote no out of spite. The White House (not to mention the Israel lobby) will push hard for approval of a war resolution, and even staunch, liberal pro-Obama members of Congress, especially in the Senate, will probably go along. But that doesn t make the desire of the president and Secretary of State Kerry, who s emerged as the administration s uber-hawk, to go to war any less insane...

How to sell a war
CounterPunch
by Jeffrey St. Clair
09/02/13
The war on Iraq won t be remembered for how it was waged so much as for how it was sold. It was a propaganda war, a war of perception management, where loaded phrases, such as 'weapons of mass destruction' and 'rogue state' were hurled like precision weapons at the target audience: us...

Eight Arguments Against Going to War With Syria
Stephen Zunes, Truthout: US military action against Syria would be illegal, strategically counterproductive, destructive and deeply unpopular.

Response to Syria a Duplicitous Affair
Antonia Darder and Peter Mayo, Truthout: Caution about war against Syria is more than warranted by knowledge of the history of US interventions in other countries' domestic quarrels and in the absence of clear-cut evidence of the Assad regime s use of chemical weapons.
