And how does that discount Assad doing it? Or the intel from our military showing and hearing assad’s forces doing it?

Dealing with Middle East Dictators:
circa 33 A.D.

John 19:8-11

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

“8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; 9 and he entered into the [a]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered,

“YOU WOULD HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER ME, UNLESS IT IT HAD BEEN GIVEN YOU FROM ABOVE;

for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

Glad you’re in the minority. Very few Americans want us to get involved in another Middle East war — especially on the side of terrorists. That overwhelming opposition kept Obama from adopting your course of action

Even two years ago, as you say, we had no reason to overthrow Assad. Assad is as good as we can get in that region. He represents 2-1/2 million relatively moderate Alawites, an offshoot of Shia Islam, allied with 2-1/2 million Christians, plus Druze and Ismailis. Assad has brought some of the 70% Sunni majority into the government and military. Collectively, they are holding back a tide of militant fundamentalist Sunnis in the form of the MB and AQ. The Saudi royal family and Qataris are financing these terrorists to replace Assad with a Sunni theocracy, all for their selfish petro-geo-political designs. They have once again looped the U.S. into using the CIA and the US military to executing their plan. The US, just as in Iraq, is being conned into expending our treasure and blood for the hegemony of Persian Gulf monarchies. Isn’t it time we stopped the forty-year tradition of allowing the Saudis to control U.S. foreign policy through their vast oil wealth? Frankly, you sound like a Saudi shill; no personal offense, that’s how it strikes me.

I agree. Assad winning is the better option and status quo.

Unrest in Syria is a U.S. production stemming from our funneling of foreign terrorist groups into Syria through Libya. THIS IS THE REASON 0BAMA WAS SO DETERMINED TO BOMB LIBYA IN THE FIRST PLACE; the mission was to establish a staging ground for the funneling of weapons and terrorist groups into Syria!

What was the CIA doing in Benghazi? Probably rushing terrorists into Syria with our weapons. Our consulate and Annex was attacked by terrorists using weapons most likely SUPPLIED BY US, and this in part is what 0bama is covering up there. Doherty and Woods were probably killed with U.S. weapons.

Our bombing of Libya, CIA presence there and weapons and terrorists.. It probably all relates to 0bama's goal in Syria to oust Assad to enable the Arabs to get their pipeline built.

The chem weapons strike was undoubtedly NOT the work of Assad. It was a U.S. false flag op executed for the purpose of giving Kerry and 0bama the excuse they needed to bomb Syria! Wouldn't surprise me if OUR current insurgent gov't thugs gave the rebels the chem weapons to execute the plot. Yes they ARE this evil. Remember Sandy Hoax!! Notice how the U.N. stated they have NO interest in finding out WHO did the strike,?? Hint hint..

why, so the beast who are rebels, many of them, can take over just like in Egypt? Both sides suck. I am seeing summary head chopping of enemy captives by the “free syrian army”. I don’t want our nation aligned with either side!

Yep...all that is true, but it makes me wonder...If you were trying to screw things up on purpose in the ME, you would never get as far as Obumble has supposedly trying to help the muzzie bros.

I see the “Lion and Sun” emblem on your home page, that is the Iranian flag under the Shah. Some groups opposing the current theocracy use a version of that flag, at their peril since it is banned. If you are part of or supporting true Iranian democracy (http://daneshjoo.org/article/publish/article_2376.shtml) then good luck to you and you deserve our active support. You are, however, deeply misguided on the subject of Syria. As an Iranian patriot, you might look at it this way: The John Brennan is playing the same role in Syria as Kermit Roosevelt did in 1953 Iran.

I think it’s the reverse. It is a Saudi operation with the idiot US/McCain looking the war mongers.

Bin Laden was a similar Saudi only financing of the expulsion of the Soviets but in support of Talebans. The US was using different operators. Later on Bin Laden being a nationalist ventured to rebel against America and the Sauds themselves and allied with Soviet backed Muslim Brotherhood of Al Zwahiri -, who spent some times in Russia too... Irony.

The US is giving weapons via the Saudi’s to the rebels. And the CIA is training rebel forces. So we are doing plenty.

Russians involved in chem weapons always manage to get others involved. Now they look good thanks to Obama who fell for the trap, wittingly or not.

It’s atypical pimping operation: he catches her doing drugs (or into breaking a “peaceful” marriage), he dares her to denounce him raping her and her whole family.

Obama is the perfect idiot fag for that.

Had idiot fag liberals followed Bush’s lead in looking for chem weapons, this bull s#!+ would have never occurred. Now we are caught red handed with Saudi maggots and their terrorists trying to us stolen chem weapons.

Now we are virtually portrayed as providing US chem weapons to terrorists, or, more naughty, stealing Russian arsenal to hand it to terror groups.

What a fine mess... But liberals still think they and Zero are geniuses.

The U.S., Qatar, and Saudi Arabia fund the opposition, which led to a good share of the 100,000 being killed. The best thing we can do to save lives IS doing nothing.

The Saudi rulers are nominally puppets of the US, of course, they are actually puppets of new world order’s financial oligarchy.

Iraq and Libya were about dollar hegemony.

Both leaders attempted to desert the dollar for oil sales, thus new world order saw them as needing to be eliminated.

Syria and Iran are planned next, for the same reasons.

Replacement of the Iranian government would bring the country into the realm of Western central banking.

US psyops are desperate to corral the conservative voting base back into the warmongering mindset so they can make use of the US military.

But too much information about new world order has gotten out and it is spreading, and new world order has executed too many revolutions and wars too quickly with public explanations bordering on nonsensical.
