Clinton and Fiorina push no-fly zone for Syria. Really?
Christian Science Monitor ^ | 10/2/15 | Peter Grier

Both the Democratic front-runner and the Republican rising star think the US should declare and enforce a no-fly zone in Syria. Military experts say it could set up a showdown with Russia that would be best to avoid.

Here’s a surprise – Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and Republican rising star Carly Fiorina agree on something big. Both think the US should declare and enforce a no-fly zone in Syria to protect civilians and US-backed rebel fighters.

Former Secretary of State Clinton’s pronouncement on this emphasized its humanitarian aspects. “I personally would be advocating now for a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air,” she said in an interview with WHDH TV in Boston.

Former Hewlett Packard CEO Fiorina’s words on the subject were more about fighting. She told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that the US needs to secure a no-fly zone around US-backed anti-Assad rebel forces.

“This is a tricky maneuver, it’s a dangerous maneuver, but it’s a maneuver we must undertake,” said Fiorina.

The older I get, the more I think we need to drive the population of Saudi Arabia back into the desert, and train our troop by hunting the survivors.

“Starting a war with Russia? Over Syria? When they are shooting at the real threat, ISIS?”

The enemy of my enemy...

This is what I suspect.

Why would anyone in their mind support this.

Who in the hell are they serving?

Certainly not the AMERICAN People.

Why is a nasty place like Syria important enough to get into a possible war with Russia over?

She would use force against Russia to accomplish what; finish off Assad. She’d start WWIII over him? I agree with Trump; let’s look out for our own interests for once. Let Putin take out ISIS. That whole area will someday attack Israel, but that IS going to happen, during the Great Tribulation.

The Church will be gone from the Earth, and Israel will not have one ally. She’ll have nobody she can turn to for help, except God. That’s when her Messiah and His Glorified Bride, the Church, will return to Earth, rescue Israel, and the whole nation will be Saved in a day. They will look on Christ with His nail scars, and realize that THEY did that to Him, their Messiah. Zecharaiah chapter 12, I believe.

Not sure what Cruz says and Walker is out of the race. Trump says let Putin fight Isis and let the blood fly from their wherever. :)

A gas pipeline from Qatar would end Gazproms near monopoly in Europe.
