Most analysts are convinced that President Obama is preparing to attack Syria in the aftermath of reports of Bashar Assad’s use of chemical weapons against his own people, thus crossing a faded pink line Mr. Obama drew over a year ago.
Clues that the Obama administration is making plans for a “limited” military strike (which some say is planned to last as long as 90minutes) include a meeting yesterday in the oval office with several minority building contractors.
While the purpose of the meeting was not disclosed, one source who attended but did not wish to be identified, said the topic of the meeting was to discuss plans to redecorate the office in a World War II bunker theme. He said that surplus stimulus money would be used to cover the cost.
A more significant indication of the administration’s preparations for war was a report in the NY Times style section that Mrs. Obama was spotted at Jimmy Choo’s fashion boutique trying on camo bustierres. Insiders say the First Lady plans to carry out her “Martial theme” fashion statement with a Che Guevara-style black beret. Mrs. Obama’s Fashion Aide did not comment on the report.
Meanwhile White House photographers have been put on alert and administration media staff have been ordered to stand by to release photos of a focussed, thoughtful President Obama in the Situation Room in the event that an US military strike is successful. Contingency plans are also reportedly being drawn up to insure that Mr. Obama is not seen to have any involvement in the event of an unsuccessful military action.
One insider revealed that portraits of Woodrow Wilson and references to his campaign theme for a second term, “He kept us out of War”, are being removed from White House guest quarters and replaced with pictures of FDR as he spoke of the “day that will live in infamy”.
Finally, indication of an imminent attack is indicated by reports that White House speechwriters are working on drafts of a statement Mr. Obama will deliver following an attack.
It was disclosed on deep background that like Dwight Eisenhower on the eve of the D-Day invasion, two statements have been ordered up by Obama aides. One will be delivered following a successful strike, reflecting the courage and decisiveness exercised by Commander-in-Chief Obama.
In the event of a disastrous failure, an alternative statement will lay the blame squarely on Pentagon planners for deliberately ignoring Presidential directives.

I believe Obummer is giving his MLK speech tomorrow. They let the ole’ dummy Biden out of the basement today and he said they were ready to strike, much like scary Kerry said other day. Could Obummer be voting present on his regimes own attack?
