The U.S. military has completed planning for how American troops would conduct a variety of operations against Syria, or to assist neighboring countries in the event action was ordered, CNN reported.

The United Nations declared earlier this week that Syria is now in a state of civil war, after months of fighting between pro-democracy Syrians and President Bashar Assad that has killed at least 14,000 people.

NO US ground troops on the ground! Never, ever in that POS country. Let those ragheads kill one another. It’s all over religion —— Alwaite vs Sunni! NOT worth a single US Service Member’s life!

Whose side will we be on — Assad’s or the Mooslim Brotherhood’s?

No more American blood for towelheads.

Let them slaughter each other.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Muslims will make Syria a Sharia country.

I only pray that most Christians can get out before the slaughter begins. That is something that doesn’t bother Obama in the least.

Just another article to help Obama appear to be a warrior.

Let these sand-rats kill themselves.

if the pentagon is just doing this now they are seriously behind. this should have been started on day 1 with numerous contingency plans, almost all of which i would probably oppose. maybe they are spending too much time finding another bs army slogan or designing a new hat or planning for homosexual pride month.
as a former tanker it pains me to say this but i think the pentagon is as out of touch and corrupt as the rest of the regime with way to many flag officers and gofers and way to much emphasis on hardware vs soldierware.

With Russia moving in we are powerless to do anything but watch. What can we do? Sink a Russian ship? Kill Ruskies? What will they do to our guys in Afghanistan? Seal the boarder and all we can do is fly in supplies? Obama has fixed us good. Time to pull back until after the election—if there even is one.
