Syria never attacked the US. We should have bombed Saudi Arabia, they did attack us, and we did nothing.

Drawing the red line was a childish expressin. Should never have been uttered.
Assad was and is our ally. We need more dictators in the region, specifically our dictators.

Y’all ever notice that Barry and his buddies always want to overthrow the sort of secular leaders of the various muzzie nations and replace them with jihadi fundamentalist rabble??

American is anti-Assad because Saudi told us to be. The Saudis want to build a gas pipeline to the Mediterranean, and it will have to go through Syria. Assad said no, and for that he must be eliminated.

I read an article some years ago that analyzed why liberals always took the opposite choice from the reasonable, rational option. It is because they are seeking utopia. They can see that for thousands of years, people made the reasonable, rational choice and we still don’t have utopia. Therefore the answer must be to make the opposite or unreasonable, irrational choice.

In some middle east countries we're working against ISIS, in some we're working to support ISIS and in some we're both for and against ISIS.
The current US foreign policy evolved as marijuana was legalized.

the president understands the world...
I’m a curious science guy. I would love to know what circuits or neurons or chemicals came together to come to a completely opposite opinion against of ALL of the evidence.
The ME is burning. Russia’s invading, W Europe is teetering
Did I leave anything out?

What legal basis would the Obama administration provide for going to war with Syria? (For Libya, there was a UN resolution.)
I know, I know. Obama don’t need no legal basis.

Let it be stated that Assad always protected the Christian minority in Syria. If Isis and their ilk take over, the remaining Christians will be killed or forced to flee.
