And it’s LEFTIES doing it..!

For decades it was what they accused US of.

Leftists *always* accuse the right of doing what they themselves are doing. Always.

i see.
well, its clear that they can stage almost anything they want since there’s almost zero real news reporting nowadays and especially from the war zone

but i still do not see how provoking an even bigger war against Syria, and/or provoking a war against Russia (!)... can possibly help HilLIARy politically

The American people have an aversion to wars and especially wars that have no visible benefits or even clear objectives

AND HilLIARy was partly to blame, with Obama of course, for starting this attack on Syria in the first place (Benghazi was widely reported to have been an illegal State Dept arms running operation into Syria)

I also have to acknowledge I am NOT any kind of political expert, so maybe I am completely missing the answer to this but anyway..... it sure doesn’t seem like a bigger war against Syria and/or Russia can help save HilLIARy’s campaign, at least I don’t see it yet... I think it would hurt her campaign a whole lot, frankly, as people remember she helped start all this trouble...........

thanks

Obama doesn’t mind see 500,000 people killed. That’s just the warm up to what’s going to happen in the near future.

Well, you know, they did break-in and steal emails off Hillary’s illegal email server. J/K

Obama and Hillary have been ramping up the rhetoric ahead of this, too.

And then.....

True, but let's not get any illusions that Republicans care either.

I’m ashamed that we are asking our soldiers to fight (and possibly die) for one sect of Islam or the other. Shameful.

So you don't have a moral problem with Americans destroying Libya, Iraq, Syria etc as long as you can wail about american isolationism later and pretend you were never involved?

I agree, but that won’t stop the idiots in charge from being idiots.

Another “Wag the Dog” kind of war or appearance of a war.

I will agree that we have no business being in Syria.

Who are our allies? al Qaeda and perhaps ISIS...

Crazy.

Our troops should not be in there and if they are our Republican Congress has been castrated.

The neocons are scared to death Trump will win and are making sure US troops are at risk where the ISIS scum we trained and funded can kill our troops with the neocon machine making damn sure they can blame Russia for it.

A few plane loads of cash for Iran, though? No biggie.

Obama is Starting a war in Syria to try to save Hillary.

All of us should call Congress tomorrow and demand Congress stop this tomorrow, not Tuesday, MONDAY! I think Beck or another talker warned this may happen. Just Damn. Enough! Congress, do your job! We're going to get involved in an accidental war if nothing else. No fly zones, Spetnatz. . this is a CF just waiting for the trip wire. We find this out the day before the debate. Are we going to make it to November 8?

Possibly a build up to a declaration of a War and an October Surprise?

This may explain why Obama is letting Hillary wreck her health and not getting her pulled. He may have other plans.

It has occurred to me many, many times that If Obama’s goal is to destroy our volunteer armed forces, here’s a way in which he can achieve it. It’s special ops leading these missions. There isn’t an infinite supply of experienced spec ops guys.

And btw, a doctor I know works in an underground field hospital for the Red Cross in Syria. Assad has been instrumental in getting safe passage of dying people along with doc and nurses to Israeli hospitals for treatment and back. When ISIS troops escorted them, the doc said they were utter savages.. Just saying. Assad , according to this report, maintains the most peaceful border of any country adjacent to Israel.

Hmmmm ..?? Is Hillary just trying to look like she knows what she’s doing ..????

It isn’t working with me.

This is just going to get our military killed. This woman is a scourge to this country .. she claims to be “the smartest woman” .. but she knows NOTHING about how to be a leader. The only person she cares about is HERSELF.

Hillary is a selfish, ego-maniacal .. very dangerous.

I find it interesting that one of her commercials re Trump uses the word “dangerous”. Remember, the DemocRATS ALWAYS tell you what they’re doing.

They’re going to build helipads ..????

Welcome to WWIII - Vietnam II

I mean for heavens sake .. don’t use planes and bombs and get it over with .. let’s just work our military to death building stuff so the enemy can smash it all to hell.

THIS IS GOING TO BITE HILLARY .. VERY, VERY BADLY.

The only way I see it .. it’s just the current admin’s way of getting rid of more of our military before he leave office.

Hold on a sec, bro. This is from an Iranian govt newspaper/Service (no matter what it calls itself).

In a desert environment with just hard sand, you don’t need to build “helipads”. The dirt serves very well as pads.
Now if you want to upgrade the ground, then you can lay down interlocking metal landing grids (like those I landed on in the boondocks beyond Dak To in Nam; in Cambodia it was just on the grass).

If you really want to get fancy, you just dig a square/series of connecting squares (10 x 10 ft or 20/25 x 20/25 ft) and pour in concrete. It can set in a day or two, and voila, you have instant hard helipads.

If you don’t have underground storage tanks and pipelines with pumping systems, you can use POL bladders with small pumps or avgas trucks with pumping systems.

Nothing too complex and the trucks are mobile, for use anywhere they can travel.

Ironically, a 30 x 30 ft(or so) helicopter landing pad in Ben Tre City (Khien Hoa City) became the place where a So. Vietnamese flag/pole was put in next to a school (when I saw it in Nov. 1970). You could have landed a Huey or Scout helicopter on the pad without any problems and it didn’t take much to build it.

Let’s see what shows up on Google Earth photos. Next the Iranians will be claiming that we are setting up culture-destroying Starbucks, Dunking Donuts shops, and K-Marts.

If we are doing something in Syria to defeat Assad and keep the Bear/Iran at bay, then good. It is 7 years late and probably too little unless we bite back bigtime.
