Syria: Thousands Suffering Neurotoxic Symptoms

[printcraft]

Yeah, democracy sucks when the guy you support doesnt win amirite?

When the guy that does win wants to kill you, yeah it does kind of suck.

This post assumes by brotherhood printcraft was talking about the power the Muslim Brotherhood gained in Egypt post-revolution, and their spread across the various Arab spring nations. If I am assuming the wrong meaning of brotherhood, my bad.

Yep. Muslim Brotherhood. Whom obama backed in Egypt. Same **** he is trying in Syria.
Asad is a despot. Muslim Brotherhood are fanatics. America should not be backing either.
Funny who the bamster backs wouldn't you say?

Now the Arab League is weighing in and they are being urged to support the US attacking Syria. How kind of them. I know they're supplying arms to the rebels and everything, but if they want intervention then it should be their forces doing the intervening, not us.

The Saudis are already on board. Imagine my surprise.

Arab League urged to back US strike in Syria - Middle East

I've seen you reference this a few times. I guess I must have missed the original thread where this happened. Link/title?

Soldiers were trashed here for wearing their uniforms to a Ron Paul event. Soldiers who objected to being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan were trashed because they knew they could be deployed when they signed up.

If some want to believe that soldiers are to remain apolitical whilst in uniform, they should be denouncing these recent photos.

Here's the Ron Paul thread.

The French are going with Assad did it. Looks like they're still in for a strike.

You're saying you think if congress shoots him down he'll blatantly defy them? I think that's too much, even for Obama.

Yes. Lack of Congressional approval has brought him to a standstill on gun control, for instance.

I just read the nine-page declassified document.

Whatd it say!?!?!?

It says the Syrians are bad and dangerous.But I could have wrote the thing myself without any actual intelligence.

Attacking a country based on that document is as credible as attacking one based on this:

Hollande and Obama. Can we expect better from either? Hell, Kerry wanted to base the attack on a picture of dead bodies. Too bad the picture was of dead bodies in Iraq and not Syria. Bodies of people the US killed. Go figure.

Maybe we should just drop a JDAM on Assad and walk away. Better yet destroy the chemical weapon depots and leave. Let them fight their own war look at the POW camps from our civil war those places were hell on earth.

They said if I voted for Romney, there would be more war in the Middle East. They were right.

I could get behind a missile strike on the weapons depots. That's what we're worried about, so let's take care of it and nothing else. Let them fight the rest of Assads forces, we'll just get rid of the threat to us.

What threat to us? Syria poses zero threat to us. They have no way in the world to hurt us. No intercontinental ballistic missiles or anything that is even remotely a threat to the US. I can't get behind any strike on them. It's none of our damned business. We weren't in the least concerned when 100,000 of them were killed with conventional weapons over the last couple of years or 2 million of them became refugees. Not out problem.

Not even the administration is saying the proposed limited strike would destroy the chemical weapons, it's just not a possibility to get them all. As it stands now even the chemicals aren't a threat to us.

I thought the big worry was the chemical weapons falling into Al Qaeda (Rebel) hands and ending up elsewhere in the world. I don't give a rat's rear if they use them in their own country though.

If that were the concern we'd support Assad in crushing the rebellion.
We'd have no problem doing that.

 

[mrjarrell]

What people keep forgetting, deliberately in many cases, is that not all of the rebels are Al Q or linked to them. Those are mostly foreign fighters, many of whom gladly came there as conflicts in other regions died down. Supporting one group of rebels is not the same as supporting all of them.
