I'm an AF Vet (long ago) also, and agree 100%.
Who decided that Syria was vital to our national interests? What city (cities) are the American people willing to have reduced to a radioactive pit in a fight over Syria?
Look at the so-called "leadership" that has been installed - Stupid people make stupid decisions. I just pray America isn't punished for them.
Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, Gary, San Francisco, Ferguson, Rio Linda .... well, you asked.
What!??
I have respect for Russian capabilities. Despite what that general said, Russian military will not be “rolled over”.
I have studied Russian tactics and art of war, they never do anything with intent of losing.
[sigh]
Why does Obama think he has the authority to act militarily in Syria? I can’t recall any votes taking place in Congress authorizing the President (any President) to act there. In fact I think there wasn’t a vote because they knew it was going to be rejected overwhelmingly. No American interests are at risk there, not even an embassy getting overrun and an Ambassador getting killed (which we know does not warrant a military response). You can’t say we are fighting the war on terror because we are aiding the terrorists! There needs to something said about this. The press is barely covering it.....That idiot in the Oval Office is going to get us into an ILLEGAL war with Russia. I fear I’m going to wake up and hear that there was an aerial combat incident with one or both sides taking casualties and Obama rattling his pathetic little saber.
I'm guessing people in the ME greased Hillary's hands... (bribes payoffs "speeches"...) in exchange for us going to war over there. We have ZERO self interest in Syria. Oil and gas are sold on open markets...no matter who controls them.
Arab Spring and 'democracy' were ways to sell the wars to idealistic rubes in flyover... my guess? Cash on the table for the Clintons and their 'elite' friends...of both parties...
The folks who make money destroying our country by selling off bits and pieces for themselves are probably the same people who take money for 'open borders'... lot of donations and 'speech money' in that operation too.
