Three hundred US Marines have been deployed to northern Jordan to pave the way for the West to arm Syrian rebels.
A Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, designed to protect Jordanian territory from attack by Assad missiles, has also been moved into the area.

Whether we’re talking Russia, China or the U.S., when a nation imposes its military power for purely economic reasons without moral authority, it deserves the ass-kicking it gets. And we are the aggressor in this match.
Obama trying to convince everyone that 150 innocents were killed with chemical weapons, and therefore we need to have a no-fly zone with border troops on the ready is a violation of everything America stands for. Assad, for whatever he is, has a right to maintain his nation’s security.
As far as “meating” me, please don’t.

He's been a wartime President since day one.Good point. What I fear is that none of them so far has been big enough for him. The "Arab Spring" canard is all his and now can become a war suitably large for him to claim "leadership."
Supporting Jihad and the routine massacre of Christians makes us all war criminals. He does this without consent and with a supine Congress.

what is even scarier is that these idiot politicians in charge of the USA have ZERO qualifications, ZERO experience at anything which requires related talent or skill at management.
these people are idiots
a truck driver license requires more qualification and background checks than a top politician in power

CIA preparing to deliver rebels arms through Turkey and Jordan
The CIA is preparing to deliver arms to rebel groups in Syria through clandestine bases in Turkey and Jordan that were expanded over the past year in an effort to establish reliable supply routes into the country for nonlethal material, U.S. officials said.

I haven’t heard anybody who identified themself as Christian ask, or otherise try to get, weapons.
Maybe I missed a headline but it seems like Christians would try to be a bit defensive?

The many Muslim sectarian militias have the Christians outgunned and outnumbered. The Christians usually live in sharply defined areas as well, making them easy targets.

Did Obummer deploy a new unit of the Marines called the ‘Pansy Division?’ You know so that when Assad shoots and kills one of those troops, Barry can declare the fallen soldier a martyr for the gaystapo. Then he’s got the entire LGBT community supporting his ‘wag the dog’ strategy.

I’d rather have troops on the ground than create another 1980’s Afghanistan. Then again, i’d rather not support the syrian rebels, nor Assad at all. I’d rather have some sort of Western backed, non-Islamic monarch who’ll rule the country strictly but with respect for human rights. That’s the only way things are going to change.
