LOL. It’s not our fight. What is the strategic need?
Why do we care if Assad stays or goes?
Where are all the peaceniks?
If government did nothing we’d realize that it doesn’t do anything, but make things worse.
I keep wondering, when are these bastards going to let loose here. I predict they burn a city to the ground. Iranians have people here, I’m sure, ready to kill.
And Israel could get nuked if Iran has it ready. Could get dicey real fast.
He should make himself useful and go play golf.
I peeped in on the DemocraticUnderground.
They’re not happy. Nervous, unsure.
I am really surprised at what I’m reading here. I don’t want action either.
But, how many of you would honestly be upset if Bush was going to bomb Syria? Be honest with yourself.
Not one post on here acknowledging the obvious fact that chemical weapons were used....instead wag the dog comments.
Just find it odd.
Not saying we should involve ourselves at all, but suddenly we have become Ron Paul isolationists when the president changes parties. A bit hypocritical, don’t you think?
You are comparing apples to oranges. Post-Iraq, I would have been upset if GWB wanted action against Syria. GWB sold me on WMD in Iraq. What we got was a bloody mess, no WMD, a huge backlash, and Obama in 2008. My threshold is now astronomically higher for mucking around in that Middle East hornets nest again.
But Obama's chemical weapons rationale is not some misguided venture to protect the U.S. from a threat; it is simply subterfuge for using the U.S. military to destabilize Assad and helping the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Queda come to power in Syria, the way he did in Egypt and Libya.
Most of us here signed on to Iraq because we believed GWB was going to secure Iraq's WMD from falling into the hands of terrorists. Yes, we were oversold but believed U.S. interests were at stake.
Most of us here oppose Obama on Syria because we know for a fact it has nothing at all to do with U.S. interests, and everything to do with helping the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow Assad.
Russia and Iran will definitely counterattack US forces if Omullah bombs Assad.
It’s not like its just a drone in Yemen rocketing some old dude out of his wheelchair.
Syria is a complete client state of Russia, armed by Russian client state Iran.
The friends of Syria will not stand by for this stupidity. They will act.
Speaking of stepping in it... News from the prop side:

Check out the list showing how ‘Americans’ feel re: Obama/Syria.
The new Iraqi canal.
I’d love to play any game with Obama.
He just flat doesn’t know what the Hell he’s doing.
Unfortunately, our enemies also know this....
This situation seems like Iraq when President Bush was considering going over there. I think that we need to take care of this and support the decision as we did with President Bush. Saddam used chemical weapons and now Syria is.....I see no difference between the two countries except different administration.
Now do I have this right?... that this Syrian conflict is composed of Hamas, Al-Gaeda and Muslim Brotherhood elements? obozo had better keep his nose out of the fights between our enemies with each other. That's what I'm hearing. If obozo gets involved, it's because he's trying to help his Muslim Brotherhood faction. This ahole in our White House had better keep his nose out of it and not get us involved.
Telling the enemy all the limits of a limited response, that’s the Obama way.
Well, Hamas is a Palestinian extremist organization in Gaza, so who I think you mean is Hezbollah. They are in Lebanon but are totally backed by Iran and ARE involved in helping Assad in Syria, as is the Iran regime itself.
As for the Muslim Brotherhood and al-qaeda - the Brotherhood actually gave birth to al-qaeda years ago. It’s sort of a “respectable” front group for the famous back group of avowed terror. It is hard to know precisely what the Muslim Brotherhood is doing at any place, any time. They are not transparent, to borrow a discredited Obama word. Where we do see and hear them, such as in Egypt, they are involved in politics and appear to be a political party interested in winning elections. But that is just the aspect they WANT to be shown.
Al-qaeda on the other hand is very apparent in their actions and they are heavily involved in Syria on the rebel side.
Obama either knows what he’s doing and is coming down on the worst side in a war in which there is no good side, or he doesn’t have a clue what he is doing but insists on doing it anyhow.
Either way, the prospect is frightening.
No, I have no heart. I also had no heart for those in Dresdan or Hiroshima. Tough shit. Kill them all so my kids can live in peace.
Regardless of administration, when muslems are killing muslems the appropriate response is to arm both sides until there are none left.
Zero is a crude dork who has no clue about WTH he's about to do.
