When the Syrian Army loyal to Assad, and the Shabiha militia, are the main opposition forces on the ground to the ISIS in Syria, what sense does this make?

Michael Savage has been proven correct. This entire thing is a charade to take out Assad.

With ISIS within a couple miles of Baghdad, what sense do you think it makes, for General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, Halliburton, News Corporation, and the Wall Street Journal.

Advocacy of the continuation of the 'regime change' approach that has clearly been shown to be detrimental. In North Africa and the Middle East, removing a principality without careful considering on who (or what) will fill the vacuum left, is just an invite to disaster. Getting rid of Assad would simply hand more of the country over to radicalized Islamic elements, and in turn, lead to the massacre of anyone not following the rabid brand of Islam the new rulers espouse. The tale in Syria is the same story that happened in Libya, the same story that the Egyptian military had to stop in Egypt by throwing out Morsi and the Islamic Brotherhood, and the same story in Iraq.

Throwing out a principality and instituting regime change, without careful thought on who takes over, is not just an exercise in futility but also an act of folly. McCain fully believes Assad has to go, and someone believes that the 'moderate' rebels will respect the rights of religious minorities (Christians, Allawites, etc) in the country ....yet what we have SEEN (not heard from McCain and his ilk ....seen) is raping of nuns, beheading of children (girls as young as 6 after they were ganged ...bet you haven't seen that in the media), and mass slaughter of any men not towing the Jihadi rope.

Regime change (without a long term view on replacement) is a farce in that entire region.

Can we strap these two savants into a couple of blue barrels and drop them on Syria from a B 1 bomber at 30,000 ft?

I am of the belief that many in our government are in the pay of the Saudis, McCain for sure.

Given that it was McCain, I should have included Raytheon (aka Hughes Tuscon).

And with Lindsay Graham I should have included Lockheed-Martin. I don’t follow who owns whom in that business like I once did.

Bombing Assad to topple ISIS makes as much sense as allowing people from West Africa to roam freely in the U.S. to fight Ebola.

So, what's the plan?

Neocons arm islamofascists wherever they find them.

If there are none, they import them and then prop them up.

ISIS = IISS = $

They offed Gaddafi because he interfered with their maniacal plan to turn entire ME into Islamofascist caliphate. Under their control, the arms from Libya stockpiles went to arm Hamas and newly created ISIS. Nothing new - British Empire invented Wahhabism and Gamma Islamiya (Muslim Brotherhood).

When neocons failed miserably to attack Syria openly and their "opposition forces" made of AQ and other assorted scum failed to topple Assad, they stepped up efforts to create ISIS/ISIL/ and attack Syria under the smokescreen of bombing ISIS/ISIL.

Average voter has Florida temperature IQ and can not show Syria on the map, let alone understand what is going on.

Because Turkey will come in whole hog if we go after Assad. And don't forget that cooperating with Assad is a betrayal of Israel.

The Wall Street Journal is profoundly pro-mulsim and anti-christian to an a idiotic degree. For example...
Christians here began to pillage Muslim homes... thousands of Christians ran into the emptied Muslim neighborhood, ripping doors and windows from the local mosque... Several bludgeoned a kitten found under the local imam's house "because it's a Muslim cat," as one explained.

They came to the camp hoping African Union troops would protect them and eventually provide them a ride north. While they waited, they endured torment from the Christians who surround the neighborhood. Three nights ago, assailants tossed a grenade into a garden here near where 13 children—their mother and father recently killed—slept,

Russia has major stake in Assad's survival.

Obama seems to have a major stake in Assad's overthrow and installing a de facto ISIS government into power in Syria.

If we push to overthrow Assad, we come into open conflict with Putin and Russia. Ordinarily, Putin would not dare to threaten the US , but with a weak, military hating Obama in charge, all bets are off.

Since we can kick Russia's ass anytime any place in a conventional war, Putin's only hand is play nuclear brinkmanship which is a dangerous game. Very bad scenario and with a military/foreign policy incompetent like Obama calling the shots who knows how badly things could spin out of control.

If Assad is overthrown, then Obama installs ISIS (with an obvious name change to a “moderate” group of Islamic George Washington's) as the new Syrian government. I really, really hate Assad and would love to see him gone, but he is by far the lesser of all other possible evils. Just ask the Libyans and the Iraqis

Assad is a mass murderer and he has the support of Iran and Hezbollah’s Islamic terrorists.

Removing him won’t work because the Syrians need a dictator to keep their innate savage nature in check. That’s the way it is in the Arab World.

Arab dictators are not beloved by their people but they’re the only thin line between stability and chaos.
