Do you actually trust a few newsgroups (or worse, politicians) so much that you would put your backing into them without question?
Did we not learn anything from Iraq?
Do you not follow certain professional investigative reporters that are more likely to be trusted than the networks themselves? Michael Hastings for example... oh wait, he was blown to bits. (debate THAT one elsewhere if you like).
We could play the same game here on CP. Flood the headlines (threads) with titles of "Plan the Parade!", "Best Rookie Group", "Smartest Hockey Minds Running Show" etc and suppress any thread that wasn't conforming to those themes, but that would NOT fly here. Why? Many here have a passion to actually understand all the facts on the Flames, but when it comes to world events, US Politics, economics, monetary policy and other aspects, your desire to delve deeper into each issue is quite often limited to just what the mainstream media is pumping out to you. "Control the media, control the minds".
Stay our of Syria. The US, UK, Canada, EU, NATO, etc, whatever.... stay the hell out. It is a mistake X 10 vis-a-vis Iraq, if not more.

Maybe you don't know who Joe Biden is, he's the VP of US. What he says has implications, hence the reason I quoted him. He's not some Joe in line at OJ, or a friend of my cousins dog groomers nephews Dad.
I'm pretty sure he is listening to the UN inspectors.
