He should stay the HELL out of there. No good can come of it, and if true, is more in line with the Arab Spring crap.
Stupid...we shoulda left the Arab Spring to sort itself out
Why not? Libya and Egypt have been so successful.
Obama is ALREADY arming the Syrian rebels. I’ve read numerous articles talking about his “secret” support.
So Romney wants to do what Obama is already doing, which we shouldn’t be doing at all.
Wait, isn’t that a pattern?
Don’t do it, Mitt!! It’s a HELL HOLE!!
when two enemies are fighting, I see nothing wrong with sending them weapons-preferably weapons with a limited shelf life.
Arm al queda and mb? You need new advisers Mitt. Look at Libya doofus.
Not if the rebels are the same ones that took over Egypt and libya. Other than Israel I don’t see anyone over there who is worth one cent of our tax dollars.
Good grief. We need to get all our money and troops OUT of those hell-holes. I don’t want any other troops killed over there until we get rid of the brass that is enabling sodomy and the killing of our troops like flies because they tie their hands behind their back.
We need to get the PC out of the military (Mao’s invention) and get back to segregation of men and women like WWII. Sodomy should be a felony as any sexual transgressions. Character matters—esp. in military.
Then we need to get our military back to where Virtue is promoted in the ranks-—as Machiavelli stated was necessary. We need JUSTICE in the military—(a virtue) and kick out anyone who embraces Vice. Clean up the cesspool that zero and his sodomites have inflicted on this country.
We also need to get rid of the Marxist ideology forced on our troops—and the stupid idea that men and women are interchangeable. Alan West should be in charge to reorganize all the damage done to collapse our military and disillusion them. Zero wants all men to be sex objects for the sodomites (like in his gay bath house) or else they will be kicked out of the military for being intolerant of homosexual sex. They have to have Pride in anal sex now—wouldn’t our WWII vets be “thrilled”. (Disgusting)! It will be just like Hitler and his SA Brownshirts. Homosexual orgies—and they even used the Hitler Youth. Or is he after the Samurai model....can maybe hook up the Boy Scouts or something with the military.
Zero does want the sodomites to lead the Boy Scouts—like they had in Germany in the early 1900’s where they had orgies with the little boys in the woods. It was so much fun after all. Sodomy was “Good” and it was the National Vice of Germany. Ushered in Hitler and his perverted boys. Vice does that after all—as noted by Machiavelli. Degeneracy leads to degeneracy. We are supposed to promote Virtue—Good!
We need Unity in the military. Promoting Vice will destroy it. Mixing women with the men will destroy cohesion also, and so will putting in homosexuals who are major predators. Even with DADT, they had homosexuals attacking men in their beds. So utterly SICK. Our men should not have to put up with the dysfunction, evil, and immaturity of such degenerates.
There has never been a conflict that McCain didn't want to jump into.
I hate the fact that Obama and Hilary are arming the Rebels, but would have to jump on board with support when Romney arms the Rebels.
The same nausea you’re feeling reading this article is the same nausea Obama could use to get elected.
I don’t trust the Guardian to accurately report on Republican presidential candidates. So this article is probably a poor starting point for discussion.
But if true, there’s a lot of possible unintended consequences.
It sounds good to oppose Iran and weaken an enemy of Israel.
But what if that means supporting an Islamist rebellion that may be even worse, and that may crush christian minorities?
I don’t trust glowing sympathetic press accounts of Arab Spring, Muslim Brotherhood, and FSA.
Has Romney gone nuts?
Good Lord, I think this is a mistake. We never know whose side anyone is on over there, and the “rebels” we back always turn on us. Wanna remind people of GWB’s two wars? Go ahead - they are sick of war. Mistake to say he would escalate war.
Obviously knocking over Syria gives Iran even more breathing room to build their nukes.
Not interesting.. horrifying. No good comes from getting mired in there. And the Syrian “rebels” are bloodthirsty jihadis who will be exponentially worse than what is in power there.
No, Mitt. Don`t go there.
The hard leftist rag The Guardian. I always get my news about Romney or our “guys” from them. How about you? /sarc
Romney should stop listening to John McCain for foreign policy advice. If this is true. The Guardian... it’s a liberal paper. I’ll wait for more sources.
Yeah, great idea, so that after they’re finished with Assad, then they can turn those weapons on Americans. Brilliant!
If mitt does this, he will give it to Obama.
I’ll be mad as hell at him.
