Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), one of the administration's biggest foreign policy critics, called on the administration to take stronger measures.

"We should establish no-fly zones in Syria and make it clear that any aircraft that enters those zones will be shot down,” he said.

Ok Tom, say we (somehow) do establish a "no-fly" zone in Syria, and then the Russians say "Nyet!"

What then?

Washington finds it unacceptable that anyone would defend Christians in the Middle East. The genocide must continue unimpeded by foreign crusaders! This is making me sick.

I think Senator Cotton should resign his seat, volunteer to return to active duty, and be the first one off the plane in Syria.

When your opponent calls “checkmate” it’s a little late to start a debate about strategy.

What is the reason for a “no fly zone?” To prevent the Russians from bombing ISIS?

0bama is too busy trying to disarm the American public to be concerned about a Syria strategy.

The Uni-party seems really determined to have another Muslim Brotherhood nation there.

But if Assad stops the rebellion, Christians will be much safer, and fewer migrants will be heading into Europe.

That's all well and good Mr. Cotton, but what happens when the Russians shoot back ?

This guy served in the US Army and he still makes a bonehead statement like this? Sheesh.

A no fly zone is a red line...it would not be enforced by this (Nobel Peace Prize) “president”.

I been saying for some time that the stupid declaration of a no-fly zone in Syria by the US would be the quickest route to WW3.

Its a uniparty Hoax to get a headline and then do nothing .

It makes us look like a paper tiger which is worse and what Barry the Muslim wanted to achieve.

Carly is a Dope and a useless Crony capitalist - Rove puppet .

They mention Russia....But how about Obama’s new BFF...Iran. They’re putting boots on the ground in Syria.

I believe Poontangs’ response will be “o.k. you no fly here”.

These people are out of their collective minds and are going to get a lot of people killed with their stupidity.

They don't get that we are no longer even remotely in charge of the situation over there.

We relinquished our command.

Either join in the destruction of the Islamists, or go sit on the sidelines and watch.

Besides...those 5 guys on our side we trained for $500 million dollars are surely dead by now !!! :-)
