“There was that sense of sacred obligation that, frankly, we have lost during these last two wars,” Obama said. “I want to restore that.” It’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an OBLIGATION not just of some, but of many.”, Barack Hussein Obama Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

So he wants the draft re-instituted? What is it he wants to restore, exactly?

This is beween the Russians, Syrians and Iranians on one hand and Saudi Arabia on the other. The Saudi’s are doing their damnedest to drag us into it. We still haven’t cleaned up the mess in Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. We don’t need another.

We really don’t want to provide a provocation for Putin to use to distract the Russian people. We would do a Putin a huge favor. We don’t want to do that. We’re setting off another arms race.

To go along with bungling us into a depression, now the Obama Administration is intent on bungling us into a war too?

At its core, Syria is in a Shiite/Sunni civil war, with Assad heading the Shiite side with support from Shiite Iran, and the Sunni side being headed by the Muslim Brotherhood and al Queda.

We need to stay out of it, no matter how much the Saudis (and their EU proxies) want us in.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
The Russian foreign minister said that supplying "anti-air defense systems" to Syrian President Bashar Assad "in no way violates international laws." Reflecting an increasing Cold War attitude, he added, "That contrasts with what the United States is doing with the opposition, which is providing arms to the Syrian opposition which are being used against the Syrian government."
What's the FM's nick on FR?

The interests of the US are best served by all of these parties fighting among each other, and being too busy to attack us.

I'd like to hear that too. It's all simple. How is it in our national interest turning over another part of the caliphate to the Sunni "hood?"

The propaganda doesn't pass the smell test.

"Responsibility to Protect" is idealistic crap, not a real national foreign policy. Can any of the BS coming out of Syria, from either side, be considered believable?

We keep hearing from Hitlery, but zero from Zero about what his intentions are, and the timing.

The whole thing stinks.

Ruskis wanting to send in their attack helos (Hine?), well good let’s pull a Charley Wilson and bring in some nice Ground to Air Stingers.

Won’t happen until nobama and hitlery are past tense.

There will be no war. We need Russia in order to keep our forces babysitting the boy rapists in Afghanistan.

We should pull out of that morass to take out Iran. Syria is a sideshow.

And killing as many of each other on both sides, including nit layers and nits, as possible.

You want to give Stingers to the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda?
What's the definition of treason again?

“Muslims killing Muslims and the problem is what?”

Nothing that I can see. Let them kill each other and then let their moon god sort ‘em out.
