If we wanted to arm secularist, or at the very least non-salafi opposition to Assad, that moment passed months ago.

The Free Syrian Army is being cannibalized by the Al-Nursa Front, who’s doing the heavy lifting now.

The civil war is a quagmire that we didn’t start, why jump right into the middle of it?

“The civil war is a quagmire that we didn’t start, why jump right into the middle of it?”

Americans are the biggest fools in history.

Hussein Obama’s ARAB SPRING is about overthrowing governments and replacing them with Muslim terrorist run governments.

Egypt went well with Hussein’s Muslim brotherhood in power.

Libya, Iraq and Syria are all works in progress. Hussein is supplying weapons to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

Most Americans are waiting for the press to tell them the truth. But the government tells the press what to say and then the parrots repeat the lies.

Don’t believe it? The US Government has been lying to you for decades, and it’s done with ease.

This is an excellent point.

Bashar al-Assad is enormously evil; and his removal from office would surely discomfit Iran and Russia (which, I believe, would be a good thing).

But if an al-Qaeda faction should replace him--and it now looks as if that very well may be the case--I am not at all sure that this would represent an improvement.

In short, it is a bit like the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s: One wishes that both sides could lose...
