VIDEO: White House faces questions about Syria

The violence in Syria rages on, provoking questions in the briefing room about why the U.S. and its allies aren't doing more to help. Plus, what do three presidents talk about when they get together?

Why would that be?

After all, Solyndra was Dubya's baby!

No matter how many times, Willard sends it through the spin cycle!

Yes, by all means let's send more troops, drones; et al and once again start counting the money to pay for it that we don't have in the first place. And when it's over, we'll some how be blamed by one side or another for our interfering.

Let's stop right here and administer a test to Romney --

Did he outsource any jobs to Syria, and if the answer is "no," then can he loate it on a map?

    The 1% owns the arms companies. If the republicans win control, you can count on another war.

    Divide and conquer and the stupid, stupid republicans on here who aren't rich fell for all the republicans lies. Let's destroy America for the rich to have permanent tax cuts.

    VOTE FOR AMERICA...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

    I wish you were right but for those of us that are anti war were lied to by Obama who said he would "stop the Iraq war by 2009". Ultimately the troops merely shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan keeping war profiteers happy in a transparent political move, and the president skirted congress to get us involved with Libya at a cost of several BILLION while at the same time we were arguing over enough money to keep our own government running. Don't get me wrong I don't think it will be any better on the war front with Republicans in charge (that is one point where Dems are probably the least of 2 evils) but to try to say Obama is the peace candidate is a joke. Both Obama AND Romney will continue the wars and unfortunatley that statement will be proved true soon enough.

    And thats why I am a Ron Paul Fan!!! Bring troops home and stop policing the world!!! We have this nifty invention called the U.N and THEY can police the world equally with us, if needed!!! The man may be crazy but he sure does have some valid points, like cutting congress, senate and his own as presidential perks and salary!!! Protecting our border and maybe legalizing drugs. Maybe if we legalized them we could sin tax them or just eliminate the hold of the cartels. Poor immigrants being used as cattle and slaughtered by the cartels. Thats just bs, we need to help our neighbors who are literally running to the U.S for help!!!

      Republicans have an irresistible urge for war. Let's keep our Mitts out of violent reaction and continue to lead in the isolation of the Assad regime. Vote not to make war on Iran and Syria and against Cold War II. Romney is as diplomatic as Field Marshall Rommel and Secretary Rumsfeld.

        Republicans are for uterus invasion as part of their war on women. Their war on the Affordable Health Care Act is fought on behalf of the health care insurance industry. The war on minority voters is actually a war against votes for Democrats. The Republican war against the EPA is to support heavy industry short cuts and would poison our grandchildren's world. The War on Poverty would become a War on the Poor, according to Republican ideology and the Ryan Budget. Class Warfare, Republican style, is a tax dump on the middle class and the destruction of self-supporting entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. The propaganda war against facts and values is well under way.

        Republican is a war party both foreign and domestic. The profits go to the top 1% and trickle down to the Republican Party. That is the only documentable Supply Side Economics that works. The economy is based on normal capitalism where consumers are the source of success. No investor in their right mind takes profits in order to hire people to make things that are not associated with consumer demand. The job creators are consumers. The profits flow to the wealthy, and so do government tax cuts and subsidies. The cups never run over except for tax deductible philanthropy and unlimited spending on candidates that support the system.
