I've always considered retired Maj Gen Bob Scales to be knowledgeable and a straight shooter.

Obama should have considered he might need a strong military when he decided to gut them with budget cuts. If I was still in I sure wouldn’t have any interest in getting in the middle of Syria’s civil war. Where is the US interest in that?

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Don’t answer that.)

I'll take it a step further and say that a vote to go to war on the side of al-Qaida in Syria is an act of treason.

Obama and all democrats should be removed from office immediately before they get us all killed!

Many in the US military are posting photos of themselves holding signs stating they'd refuse to fight on the same side as al-Qaida in Syria. ...one post alone generated more than 16,000 shares on Facebook. "Our involvement in Syria is so dangerous on so many levels" .......one vet said, "It boggles my mind that we are being ignored."

Must be a rude awakening to realize their CIC is a total jerk.

Sunni Muslims have been at war with Alawite and Shiite Muslims for over a thousand years and no one ever paid any attention to their killing each other, so why all of a sudden has our President taken sides in this Muslim domestic disturbance? One thing I’ve learned during my 25 years in law enforcement is that when you’re trying to identify a motive in a criminal investigation, all you have to do is “follow the money” and it’ll usually come into focus.

The first clue came when we saw our President publicly bow and grovel before the King of Saudi Arabia (a Sunni Muslim). Could it have been because the King of Saudi Arabia financed Obama’s campaign? Remember, there are still large sums of money in Obama’s campaign coffers that haven’t been adequately explained.

If the King of Saudi Arabia now “owns” our President, it could explain why Obama has sided with the King’s Sunni Muslim Al-Qaeda rebels in this Civil War against Syria’s Alawite/Shiite government. It could also explain why Obama has prevented the development of U.S. oil resources and has effectively “killed” coal in the U.S. in order to keep our country dependent on foreign oil.

It’s evident that U.S national security isn’t threatened by this Syrian Civil War and the only reason we’ve entered into this fracas is because President Obama is “bought and paid for” by the Saudis. Now, we’re learning just how many in our Congress, from Boehner to McCain, are also on the Saudi payroll.

Our Secretary of State, John Kerry, just revealed that the Saudi King has offered to reimburse the U.S. for the cost of U.S. strikes in Syria. If President Obama sells the services of our U.S. Military to an Islamic Sultan, as he’s about to do, our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen will then become historic parallels to Ottoman Janissaries. Americans will then go to war shoulder to shoulder with their Al-Qaeda allies making Osama bin Laden so proud.

Other sources have reported that the Saudis attempted to pay the Russians to stop supporting Assad’s Syrian Government, but the Russians refused to be bought, and why would the Russians refuse to be bought by the Saudis? Again, just “Follow the Money.” The only reason the Russians would refuse to be bought by the Saudis is because they see more monetary gain for themselves if this disturbance in Syria escalates and hostilities spread throughout the Middle East.

If the U.S. strikes Syria, it will in all likelihood trigger a war that will quickly spread throughout the Middle East from Israel through Saudi Arabia to Iran. When this happens, nukes could start popping, the Middle East could become radioactive for a half life of at least 10,000 years, and Saudi oil would then become unobtainable on the world market.

As Russia has developed its oil resources equal to or possibly past the Saudis and are now considered the #2 oil producer in the world behind Saudi Arabia, the elimination of Saudi oil will make Russia #1 in the world. Russia can then name their own price for oil, and the world will have to pay. You have to hand it to the Russians, chess players that they are and looking at least five moves ahead, as they will have eliminated their competition and tricked their competition into paying for it.

Don’t look for a motive for the Saudi Sunnis, the Syrian Alawites, and the Iranian Shiites, as they’re primitive religious fanatics and don’t need a motive beyond their own insanity.

I ask you, just how insane do we have to be to enter into a war among the insane?

The JCS should resign. And they should do it in a very public way.

The administration's planned strike on Syria is increasingly opposed by many in a U.S. military coping with the scars of two long wars, a rapidly shrinking budget and soldiers saying we're "tired, stretched thin and broke."

Just what Russia and China need to hear.

A decade of involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many of the rank and file seeing the fruits of their victories squandered by the Obama administration's precipitous, ideologically driven withdrawals

Da#m well said X-acto ly knife accurate !!

Remember FReepers and remind others that in the closing months of GW admin. they bound up the Iraq situation so there were few loose strings for Obama to have to deal with.

My quote is to my hometown paper comments section:

"GW gave a well and tidy wrapped Iraq package to the boy Hussein who then tore it open and broke it !"

....drives the libtards crazy when i post it to remind them.... :) :)
