"Wow...now Perry say he’d consider starting a unilateral no-fly zone over Syria, and consider zero-funding the UN."

So Rick is thinking of sending U.S. planes over Syria? Well, he ought to know they may have company from the Turkish Air Force. Turkey is getting more and more involved in destabilizing Syria, i.e. sending arms thru the port of Latakia to rebels and actively encouraging the Syrian military to defect.I'm sure Rick also brought up the fact that the Russians are using Latakia as a shared port with the Syrian navy. They - the Russians - have installed and upgraded antiaircraft missile systems since the 70's. they've also installed radar and are believed to have been involved in supplying Hezbollah with electronic intel they were intercepting from Israel. Syria is a hornet's nest that needs attention, but not from Ranger Rick alone.

Maybe it will resolve itself within a year, but the U.S. will probably get sucked in anyway.

Zero-funding the U.N.? Someone here must've texted him, cuz' that's just red meat for Freepers.

Well, they texted him a long time ago because he’s been saying that for a while.

Yes indeed...and further russia has just planted their ships at Syria's coastline with the idea that nobody is to interfer with what Syria is doing in their country.....you go after Syria you're going to face Russia as well.

Perry doesn't know enough of the situation to say what he did...or if he does.. saying he'd go it alone without allies is just foolish beyond no end.

IMO let the Middle East leaderships handle Syria...however Ricks right about Syria IS basically Iran.....Syria oftentimes more than not does Irans bidding. They are two peas in a pod.
