But what harm could it do?
The Russians are well within their rights to defend their interests at their naval base in Syria and they’re also well within their rights to stand with their ally. It is NATO and the UN that need to keep out of Syria. We have no justifiable reason to get involved there and I cannot believe how many people want the US to attack Syria.
As far as I’m concerned we should pull out of the mideast with the exception of surrounding Israel with a ring of steel if they want it.
You bet we have serious interests in what goes on in Syria.
The best thing that could happen would be for the dictator there to fall to forces committed to a secular Republic and basic civil rights for all of its citizens. That is what we should have been seeking out and supporting this entire time...long before Russia ever sent these forces towards the area.
Such an outcome would have been a stab in the heart to Iran, and would have allieviated significant tnesions towards Lebannon, Israel and Iraq.
But now, we are left standing around with our hands in our pockets as the Russians move to bolster all of those things I just mentioned, which they view as in their interests to distract and to tie up our resources and that of our allies...and to bleed us whenever they can.
Obama is not interested in the US best interests. He has shown and is showing that he in fact supports the radical Ilsamics and will assist their rise to power wherever it happens and he can be involved.
He is doing so blatanlty now in Egypt, where it was obvious that the overthrow of our friend and ally, a man who was indeed brutal, but who held the peace with Israel for over 25 years, and who protected the Christian minorities in his nation, while coming down hard on the radical Islamics...as I say, it was obvious that that overthrow would lead to the Muslim Bortherhood trying to step into the vaccum, which they have done. Now, this weekend the Egyptian military has moved to forestall and end that attempt by these radicals, and has announced the disolving of the parliment and new elections. Obama responded to that by demanding that the Military turn power over to the ISlamic fundamentalists.
Anyhow, we do have interests, significant interests, in seeing Syria free...but not in seeing it go as another radical, fundamentalist Islamic state that stays in bed with Iran.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION INFILTRATED BY MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
That's the real stroy behind the Arab "Spring," and Obama's involvement in it.
But what harm could it do?
“people want the US to attack Syria”!
I want the U.S. to simultaniously nuke Tehran, Damacus, Mecca, Medina and Alexandria, so yeah I guess that could be considered “attacking”.
