The difference between Iraq and Syria.

Iraq was/is a war that we could/did win and the populace was more interested in a sectarian state that with a US presence will happen.

Syria can’t be won with US troops on the ground. The populace wants a more radical Islamic state and arming the rebels will create a power vacuum for the Muslim Brotherhood.

We won’t “take Syria out”. We’ll just replace one America hating regime with a terrorist supporting, America hating regime.

The Dark Knight - "Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHCdKb5UWc

Obama, who is an Antichrist, WANTS to watch the world burn with the fires of terrorist Islam. He is siding with the very people who destroyed the Twin Towers, slit the British army man's throat and who want to kill Americans and destroy America. Obama is nothing short of EVIL and everyone of the American politicians who support his actions in Syria are EVIL as well.

War is coming, it is inevitable but the good news is that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back and when He does, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will destroy ALL of His enemies and will rule in righteousness for a thousand years with a "Rod of Iron."

Like I said many times: Al Qaedas never had it so good under the Kenyan, and I still call BS on OBLs “death”. To date we’ve seen not ONE shred of proof that effer is dead.

Yep, should there be any question in anybody’s mind that “O” is an Islamist your questions should be answered. “We will not negotiate with Terrorists”, however, it seems that it is just fine to provide Military support to rebels who have stated that they are alqaeda and alqaeda has been at war with the US and has killed our Soldiers and Citizens for years. Now if that is not TREASON WTF is? Now this POS wants our Military to fight for alqaeda? If anyone thinks that alqaeda is fighting Assad for a free state, they are beyond stupid!!!!

Very good point. Obama is arming Egyptians and the ruling Egyptian Brotherhood with weapons of war and will put in a no-fly zone to protect them. Yet, one of their high power operatives was just caught on live microphone discussing war with the US and Israel. So who is Obama working for ? Not us and not US service personal.

Didn’t they roast Reagan just a few years ago for providing weapons to the Taliban?

...then it would follow logically that the Truthers were right these past 12 years: 9/11 was an inside job in which one faction in the government attacked another faction.

The truthers were fed the disinfo line. Basically the What Really Happened .com line. The actual truth and facts are that certain government employees ignored or covered up facts that would have revealed the plotters. What the employees motives were was immaterial to what they did. Remember the leftist idiots were running around at the time chiming, Bush was Selected not Elected. So government workers had issues. And the truth is, our government could have and should have prevented the attack. They failed us miserably. IMHO.

Basically 911 was the precusor for the Boston Bombing. And the Boston Bombing showed once again that the US government cannot protect us from Terrorist. We will have to do that ourselves.

It also says the admin is considering resettling thousands of Syrians to the US.

I trust that Jordan and Turkey realize that any no fly zone enforced from their territory makes them fair game to attacks by Syrian allies. If Obama plays this right, he can get the Jordanian government overthrown, as well as cause more terrorism in Turkey. Obama continues his march through the Middle Eastern and North African states spreading death and destruction as he goes.

How does Nobama know which muslims to side with? Destabilization. The name of the game is destabilization.

Well, he may think destabilization is good, though I suspect someone will win in Syria, likely Assad/Hizbollah/Iran/Shia. Dare I suggest his personal contact with Islam was likely Sunni, the majority in Indonesia as well as Kenya, so if you pick a side, go with pop and step pop.

No, the terrorists are freedom fighters, and American people are terrorists. You need to get that straight!

“Just providing arms is not enough,” McCain said.

I absolutely hate Obama’s guts...yet I am so darn thankful that McCain has never been, is not now, and never will be living in our White House.

How long before Obama will claim that he has personally destroyed Iran’s WMD?

Sad. How does Dear Leader know which muslims to side with?

That's what took so long. He needed to be certain the Syrian rebels were the most anti-civilization side before he could support them.

That is correct. Obama didn’t hear the US was going to arm AlQaeda until this afternoon when he read it on the internetz. /sarc
