Helping them with your tax dollars to unilaterally overthrow Syria’s president and replace with the Muslim Brotherhood that is.
via As Syria war escalates, Americans cool to U.S. intervention: Reuters/Ipsos poll | Reuters.
(Reuters) – Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria’s government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed, a Reuters/Ipsos poll says.
About 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria’s civil war, while just 9 percent thought President Barack Obama should act.
More Americans would back intervention if it is established that chemical weapons have been used, but even that support has dipped in recent days – just as Syria’s civil war has escalated and the images of hundreds of civilians allegedly killed by chemicals appeared on television screens and the Internet.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll, taken August 19-23, found that 25 percent of Americans would support U.S. intervention if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces used chemicals to attack civilians, while 46 percent would oppose it. That represented a decline in backing for U.S. action since August 13, when Reuters/Ipsos tracking polls found that 30.2 percent of Americans supported intervention in Syria if chemicals had been used, while 41.6 percent did not.
Taken together, the polls suggest that so far, the growing crisis in Syria, and the emotionally wrenching pictures from an alleged chemical attack in a Damascus suburb this week, may actually be hardening many Americans’ resolve not to get involved in another conflict in the Middle East.
The results – and Reuters/Ipsos polling on the use-of-chemicals question since early June – suggest that if Obama decides to undertake military action against Assad’s regime, he will do so in the face of steady opposition from an American public wary after more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, Obama does not appear to be feeling much pressure over Syria from the American people.
In this week’s Reuters/Ipsos survey of 1,448 people, just 27 percent said they supported his decision to send arms to some Syrian rebels; 47 percent were opposed. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points for each number.
About 11 percent said Obama should do more to intervene in Syria than sending arms to the rebels, while 89 percent said he should not help the rebels.
Obama is considering a range of options. The most popular option among Americans: not intervening in Syria at all. That option is backed by 37 percent of Americans, according to the poll.
Doesn’t matter. He’ll do it anyway.
Obama is muslim brotherhood.
He had the guy that turned in Osama arrested and placed in prison.
Bammy is a muzzie bro. Pure and Simple.
Not if your namesake has anything to say ;)
Just like 0bamafraud: Tyrants and masterminds know best.
he has backed every extreme Islamicist armed terrorist gang on Planet Earth. What makes these nice people think that he’ll listen to their views and suddenly change ?

The reason only 89 percent of the poll’s respondents oppose giving U.S. support to the rebels in Syria is probably because the remaining 11 percent are low-information Americans who either don’t know that the ‘’rebels’’ are made up largely of al-Qaeda terrorists or they don’t know what ‘’Syria’’ is.
The 11% who are for it are all on his payroll.
This guarantees Obama will do it.
70%+ of americans do not know who the Sec of State IS......
Hate to tell you folks,he already has been,what do you think Benghazi was all about?
11% faint at the mention of Obama’s name. Then the poll taker says “I’ll take that as a ‘Yes’”.
What?
I am 100% opposed to supporting ANY SIDE WHATSOEVER in any muslim-muslim conflict.
They can all continue acting like savages, and they can pay the price and enjoy the consequences.
It may see harsh, but why should they (or anyone, for that matter) demand that I care more for the dying muslim children than the muslim killers themselves do?
BTTT!
Liberal Doves and Conservative Brotherhood Opponents agree:
No Bombs for Al Qaeda in Syria!
