Syria must be next....

And don't forget the most important sign, Obama and Congress are on vacation....


12 Signs That We Are Getting Dangerously Close To War With Syria

The following are 12 signs that we are getting dangerously close to war with Syria....

#1 Barack Obama is demanding that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad step down....

"We have consistently said that President Assad must lead a democratic transition or get out of the way. He has not led. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside."

#2 U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was far more blunt in calling for Assad to resign....

"The transition to democracy in Syria has begun, and it is time for Assad to get out of the way"

#3 British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a joint statement in which they demanded that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad step down....

"Our three countries believe that President Assad, who is resorting to brutal military force against his own people and who is responsible for the situation, has lost all legitimacy and can no longer claim to lead the country"

#4 EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is calling for Assad to resign....

"The EU notes the complete loss of Bashar al-Assad's legitimacy in the eyes of the Syrian people and the necessity for him to step aside."

#5 Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says that Assad should "vacate his position, relinquish power and step down immediately".

#6 The U.S. government has imposed a fresh round of economic sanctions on Syria. These include sanctions targeting Syrian oil and gas sales.

#7 There are reports that EU officials will also impose new economic sanctions against Syria on Friday. These sanctions will also reportedly include sanctions targeting oil and gas sales. Approximately 90 percent of Syrian oil exports go to the EU, and oil and gas account for about 25 percent of Syria's GDP.

#8 The U.S. government has frozen all Syrian government assets in the United States.

#9 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney supports these moves against Syria and believes that we need to do more to "move" Syria "toward modernity"....

"America must show leadership on the world stage and work to move these developing nations toward modernity"

#10 At least 12,000 refugees from Syria have flooded into neighboring Turkey, and Turkey has been reinforcing its military forces along the border area. In recent days Turkey's warnings to Syria have become more heated.

#11 The United Nations is "temporarily" removing some of its staff from Syria.

#12 A U.N. fact-finding mission has determined that the Syrian government is guilty of multiple human rights violations....

"The mission found a pattern of human rights violations that constitutes widespread or systematic attacks against the civilian population, which may amount to crimes against humanity"
