I think this prediction may be a bit of Glenn going over the top again, but I also believe messing with Syria would be the biggest mistake Obastard’s ever done. And that’s saying a lot! Syria is not Libya, or Iraq.
Syria is about as close as you can get to being a ME Russian Client, and will have much more advanced weaponry than anybody we’ve faced recently. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can shoot down a B2.
how will china transport their million man army?
Oddly enough, we have to trust Assad to be the rational one here and take his lumps without retaliating.
But what's to stop some rebel group from firing a missile at a US ship? Assad would get the blame.
And what's to stop some rebel group from releasing poison gas a month from now? Again, Assad would get the blame.
Obama's threats have given the rebels many options. And the threats have cornered Assad. Cornered animals are very dangerous.
fr_freak, you’ve been on FR nearly as long as I have, so you will most certainly recall that last year there was a significant cohort of FReepers who were adamant about not voting for Romney, with the view of being in a better position to get a real conservative in 2016. You are reading way to much into cherry’s post to suggest that cherry is blaming Obama’s victory *solely* on the FReepers who voted ABR. You are quite correct in pointing out that 65.9 million brain-dead Obama voters share the blame as well.
Actually it was the SCOTUS in 1973 that voted in the destruction of the US in Roe v Wade. Final straw.
interesting that Syria, like Libya, is not part of the international bankers/Rotchschild organization? maybe that is the real reason they will soon be taken out?

Heh. Well played. And I agree wholeheartedly.
I’m not saying that the Chinese army will be there. But they can have Syrians try out new technology there in a real world setting, without the bad manners of shooting us with it ourselves.
Beck is a roadeo clown but—he is right more times than wrong. Listen to him but realize—WW III is in no ones best interests. wars can be bad things and no one knows how they will work out. What looks simple may turn bad in a few hours. What happens if there is a naval battle at sea? Russian ships vs. Our squadron of destroyers? What happens if a sub sinks our vessels after a strike. Iran knows that she and the US are going to have to battle—why not now with mr. limp wrist in charge? better to face Obama than say-—President Cruz, Palin, or even, heaven forbid, Hillary.
Someone here posted information on China’s investments in land and resources in the US. Whole swaths of land, oil rights and so on, but mostly at a 33% level which keeps them below the radar.
The Chinese have killed more than we , but are not self-destructing . I’m anti-abortion , just sayin’ it is a LOT more than one issue that killed us .
We have no business going to war here. Lets bring our ships home.
I agree 100%. We have no national interest in Syria. Let them handle their own internal problems.
Maybe. I didn’t know that analogy but I could see the point that Syria isn’t much like any country we have dealt with and there’s no good reason to be dealing with them.
What if they find a way to sink one of our subs? It would be as shocking as the sinking of the HMS Hood, only with the potential of a few nukes spilling out somewhere.
“Wagging the dog” maybe, also takes eyes off of the dreaded health care.
Well, ‘rats got us into WWI and II with their clumsy, ignorant governance - why not WWIII?.....
Has Glenn Beck decided to convert to the Iranian religion or be employed in Siberia or western China?
