Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Both sides hate the USA. My opinion. We either stay complete out of it...very unlikely or we bomb starting at one border and go to the other not stopping until we get an unconditional surrender from both sides. Not less is acceptable.

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I wrote to my congressman and both senators, asking that we not get directly involved in Syria. This despite the fact that I have some Syrian cousins. I pointed out that there are plenty of powers (such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia) in the area that have vested interest in the outcome and we should let them handle it.

Both sides want all of us infidels dead and won’t be satisfied until we are so the fewer there are to try to accomplish that the better I hear ya 100% - but it's the chemical weapon thing that bothers me now. No matter who wins the precedent/allowance of using such weapons will only encourage more use and eventually they will be made in quantity enough to sell off to terrorists and be smuggled into our country and be used on our homeland. It's a MESS indeed.... GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So I heard this on the news. Syria did not sign on to the treaty limiting/outlawing the manufacture and use of chemical weopons. They are being accused of using them within their own borders -so international law was not broken. CNN I believe. Was reading in bed at the time.

Yul Lose Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 My son sent me a picture that was taken when he was in Fallujah on his second tour in Iraq. A fellow Marine took the picture of my son along the road on patrol and just off to his left an Iraqi man has a goat that he's butchering hanging in a tree. That was a pretty good comparison of the Iraqi war for most of our troops. Their hands were tied from the start. I doubt anything would be different in Syria or Egypt. That place isn't worth one American life, IMHO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Where are the liberals? Remember in 2003 when G.W. Bush was rattling his saber about starting a war in Iraq? The liberals all blamed Bush and called him all kinds of nasty names. My favorite was they accused him of starting an illegal war, even though he had approval from Congress. Obama, it seems, is intending on starting a war with Syria WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL. At least that's the word on the major news outlets as I write this. Why aren't they accusing their Messiah of the same thing??? Because it's the double standard of the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't they accusing their Messiah of the same thing??? Because it's the double standard of the left. But wait! Look: In a recent column, the Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens recounted some of the paeans to Assad: In a March 2011 interview, Hillary Clinton implied that Assad was a “reformer.” In 2007, Nancy Pelosi, over strong objections from the State Department, visited Syria, and said, “The road to Damascus is a road to peace.” Senator John Kerry predicted that “Syria will change as it embraces a legitimate relationship with the United States.” http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/312450/assads-useful-idiots-noah-glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Was it Colin Powell or Scwartzkopf (I can't spell big last names) who said of Iraq "If we break it we buy it" and we are still paying for it. Once we depose the Syrian regime what happens in the vacuum? We still have time to learn from our mistakes in Iraq. Syrians will not welcome us with open arms like they did in Iraq. Wait a minute they didn't welcome us there either. When my son finished his last tour in Iraq he told me "Dad, the Iraqis hate us more now than they ever have". I'd have to agree with him.

Believe it or not many Iraqis support the USA. Many wished we stayed to help with security and provide continued training ( which in a small degree we are still doing). They realize it was the Al Qaeda insurgency that crept in and creates havoc...and they are still dealing with that. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
