Hugh thinks we should arm rebels while disarming Americans.
Go get stuffed, Hugh Jass.
well then, hewitt and co are pro-al queda republicans...so there.
So anytime we don’t support jumping into a war, regardless of whether there is a national security interest, a defined strategy, or reliable pro-American allies, we are 1930s isolationists?
Maybe Hugh can tell us how we are supposed to keep Assad’s WMDs from getting into jihadist hands once his command and control system is “degraded”? Maybe Hugh can tell us how he knows who the “good guys” are supposed to be (assuming there are any), and how we are to make sure that every depot is taken by them, and not the “bad guys”? Do we have any assurance they would destroy them? Are we supposed to just trust Obama to work it out as we go along?
Hugh’s a good guy, but this is one of his dumbest columns ever.
The Neo-Cons last stand.
That’s funny.
I spent 25 years in the US Air Force. I spent 1/3 of my career based overseas, and spent a 10 year stretch where I was in Saudi or Turkey for nearly 6 months of each year. I’m not an isolationist.
However, I see nothing in the Syria mess that has any basis for US involvement. Nothing. Why should we back someone who hates us? So we can do an Afghanistan repeat come 2023?
"When the good guys blink, the bad guys notice."
Uh, WE are the "bad guys" in this case, Hughey baby. Your President is an ASS. As is anyone who supports this painfully obvious charade. Now go collect your 30 pieces of silver for writing this crappy propaganda.
I wonder how the sales of his book, “A Mormon in the White House” are doing.
He was talking up Romney for two years straight and was already celebrating a landslide victory days before the election.
You’re right!
Who is this Huge Nitwitt, and why should I care?
If you think you have an answer, I’m still really NOT interested.
Nobody is talking about war with Syria. Obozo made it real clear that whatever it is he has planned will have no effect on the Assad regime and will not involve US personnel in Syria. That’s a Democrat’s view of “consequences.” It appears he wants to launch some cruise missiles and smoke some camels.
Romneybot idiot. I wish we could do the last 75 years over.
Refuse to arm AL Qaeda?
ISOLATIONIST!
Try an AP or other news source search (preferably overseas) on Iraq. Thousands have been slaughtered this year. Turmoil -- as many predicted once we pulled out.
Adding fuel to the fire was the July jail break which resulted in hundreds of Al Quaeda supporters being released back into the civilian population. You can start here.
U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan have nearly tripled in the Obama years, compared to all other Bush years combined link here,not to mention the ever escalating civilian deaths.
For all our blood, money, and grief, these two countries are no better off than the day we stepped foot on in them.
It's time we take care of our own.
Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!

I am not against US strength being exhibited. When we have a national interest.
Which side is pro-America over there in Syria? What dog do we have in that fight?
None. None is the answer.
So stay out of it.
They just don't want to admit that they all knew that Sadddam’s WMDs were shipped out of Iraq to Syria before the war and the “Bush lied, people died” mantra was a cynical lie that President Bush refused to refute for reasons unknown to the American public.
Attempts by the US military to destroy these WMDs may result in them being inadvertently (or intentionally) unleashed on the Syrian civilian population and the resulting deaths could make the previous body count look insignificant by comparison.
The morons running the show need to make a real case the American people why we need to attack Syria.
So far they have not even tried to do so and it looks as though they are simply lying to the country to start a war that they are collectively too incompetent to follow through on once they get us entangled.
second that
Hey Screwy Hughey !
Where’s in the national interest US going to war ?
This Californian demonstrates why it’s in such a sad state. Yesterdays broadcast he did a great interview with ABC’s John (?) Tapper and his teriffic book about combat in Afganistan. Where Tapper goes through the effect political decisions has on combat and the wars outcome.
Hewitt asked key questions about the circumstances Tapper wrote about but can’t get it though his head the only reason we’re getting involved here is because our fearless leader shot his mouth off.
