BBC World Have Your Say just came on. A very angry Syrian man was being interviewed by the beeb. Rockets were falling very close to his position. He was screaming for help from the world. Then he said (and I'm paraphrasing, but this is pretty close), "Where is America? America is supposed to be the defender of humanity! Where is America?"
While I'm happy that the guy has such a high opinion of us, I wonder whether he would feel the same way after *we* win his freedom for him, which is to say he'd be burning the US flag in the street and shooting at us after we won his war for him.
While we are busy chopping our military down and tossing unemployable soldiers on the streets where there aren't enough jobs for people *with* POG skills, I'm sure spending billions sending the remains of our military to be pulled down into another engagement we would never intend to win sounds like a great idea to some in Washington.
What we need to say:
Dear International Community: we defend America and American interests, not the totality of humanity. If that burns your butt, there are any number of powders and creams that can assist with your irritation.
Dear Syria,
Please do what america’s real greatest generation did and fight tyranny, write a constitution and establish a free republic with respect, rights and responsibilities for all. P.S. Please don’t miss the last part of that; it’s become critically important here.
That’s the same question the Iranian protesters asked last year when they were trying to be free. The coward in the White House ignores those questions, since he picks and chooses which Islamists to support. The Muslim Brotherhood can always count on his help.
They’ll miss the last part, since 0bama will send Ginsberg to set up their new constitution based on South African law.
I'll second that!
Sorry, America doesn't exist to support the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Man in Syria asks, “Where is America?”
Yeah? Where are the Syrians?? Fight your own wars, pal.
[ They’ll miss the last part, since 0bama will send Ginsberg to set up their new constitution based on South African law. ]
It will be setup “for Great (social) Justice “ and open societies, blah blah blah...
Since the Assad regime will almost certainly be replaced with an even more noxious group, why would we bother?
We’re here, you’re there; Obama doesn’t care. He’s on the golf course.
Dear Syria,
We’re not the world’s police. Fight your own damn war or better yet, get your arab-muslim brothers to fight it for you. We infidels won’t fight your crazy tribal conflicts anymore.
“Where is America?”
Well,, as for ME, Im getting my tires rotated and balanced today. My dog LOVES to go for a ride in the truck. And im trying to decide on a smoker. I want to really make a few good briskets this year and up my game in the BBQ world.
Oh,, and im watching you guys on TV. Sucks to be you i guess.
Where is America?
That country was been overtaken by the anti-war left Obama types. You know, the ones who claimed (with the help of the corrupt MSM) that we "invaded Iraq" and "no blood for oil." Never mind the rape rooms Americans were deemed conquerors by the left and they screeched about warmongering Bush.
Recall the Arab street being up in arms about every little thing? Now they wonder where we are? Are you kidding me?
Make no mistake, these people are getting slaughtered and I think we have a moral obligation to assist -- however that looks, but it has been the anti-war left and their MSM supporters who have obliterated that morally sensitive America.
Hey, man in Syria—who gives a shit about Syria? Fight your own damn war.
“Obama doesn’t care. He’s on the golf course.”
Noooo,, OBbama WANTS to intervene badly. This is why we are treated to a swarm of stories today about bobies thrown out of incubators,, Iranian guards swarming in to help Assad, and plaintive stories about a man,, pleading “where is America?”
Obama is running a psych op on us,, trying to get us excited about intervening in Syria. Lybia part II. He will suppport ANY movement except in Iran.
where was this guy on 9-11?
out in the streets celebrating the takedown of the great satan? allu akbar.
“people are getting slaughtered and I think we have a moral obligation to assist”
Well then by all means,,GO HELP!! Or, did you mean my kids have a moral obligation to go fight a war in Syria, to help establish another Muslim brotherhood clone? And will this “new” Syria somehow magically be a good neighbor to Israel? Syria has no strategic interests for us,, and has never shown us any goodwill.
Not one American Dollar or Life should be wasted on those ingrates.
Did Syrians mourn 9/11? Did Syrians stop the pipeline of foreign “insurgents” into Iraq, to kill American soldiers, that passed through their country?
Screw em,, we have a moral obligation to watch them wipe each other out. More air for me to breathe.
“where was this guy on 9-11?
out in the streets celebrating the takedown of the great satan? allu akbar.”
Amen,,,
