A month ago we were closing embassies in fear of Al Qeada.

Now we want to provide them air cover.

Let’s see: was it the “right wing” who called Assad a “reformer”? Or who dined with him in a swanky Damascus restaurant?

The a$$hat author of this article is just another water-carrier for his hero Bathhouse Barry.

My position is simple...so far,Osama Obama has sided with the wrong side,the “greater of two evils”,in Tunisia,Libya *and* Egypt.Given that track record I'd bet the clothes on my back that the Syrian “rebels”,with whom Osama has sided,are the *greater* of two evils.Therefore...I oppose striking Assad.

And what they don’t have in common is the US Constitution.

Ha ha ha! Spin, spin, spin away from the truth. So typical of the Left. Blame anyone and everyone except themselves.

The "Syrian propaganda war" was lost by King Zero as soon as he started it. Simply put, we do not believe or trust the current President of the United States; he has lost all credibility with everyone but his most blind, loyal servants (Mostly the "news" media).

This is an inept smear job. Pathetic. Conservatives dont like Assad, in fact, they were the ones pointing out what a criminal he was, all the while the likes of Obama, Kerry, and Pelosi were supporting and wining and dining him.

I guess then 90% of Americans must be on the Right, because that’s the percentage that opposed going into Syria.

B. S.!

I was against this stupidity well before Assad spoke.

I’m tire of the narcissist in Washington.

“And his actions show he serves foreign masters not the interest of the US.”

Well, photos show that Buckwheat can’t get an umbrella through an open gate.

So, did that happen on his foreign master’s orders or did he do that all by himself? :-)

Howya doing, buddy? Best to you and your family, as always.

And another thing.

Even if Assad DID do it. I’m against intervention.

It has NOTHING to do with us. Let their Allah sort out the dead as he wills.

This is a bunch of BS - at least the part about the right supposedly being wooed by Assad.

These libs cannot understand a simple concept - Barack Obama is not smart, he lies, and is an incompetent POTUS. Why would any right-minded individual believe the current occupier of the Oval Office would be able to send any message of value to Syria?

What is there in the leftist mind, I wonder, that it can compose such conspiratorial drivel.

Perhaps, it's because saluting and supporting a brutal dictator is the kind of thing they would do if it served their agenda.

See Iraq War II, Democrats rally round Saddam Hussein...

Assad never wooed me, but neither did Obama. Sad thing that neither is trustworthy. When you have no good options, choose doing nothing.

Americans do not want another war that could escalate. I believe this one would.

Sadly there has been much open adoration of the mass-murdering socialist monster Assad right here on FR, as well as of his loathsome fellow mass-murdering tyrant KGB Putin, America’s worst and most hateful enemy in the world. It’s despicable and it gives conservatives a bad name.
