INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey — Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta signed an official deployment order on Friday to send 400 American military personnel and two Patriot air defense batteries to Turkey as cross-border tensions with Syria intensify.
Yup..we're not invading and aiding the "rebels", we're proactively defending a potential attack on the US.
One by one the dictators fall.
Someone decided Saddam had to go and the US invaded.
Someone decided Gaddafi had to go and the US invaded.
Someone decided Mubarek had to go and the US invaded ? (we own the Egyptian army remember)
Now, someone has decided Assad has to go.
And as each country falls and gains a new dictator the country regresses 100 years into the past with strict religious law taking hold.
Right-wingers have turned into Yoko Ono peaceniks since Obama's election.
What happened to the whole Axis of Evil stuff?
I dunno what you are talking about since I was opposed to the militaristic adventures of Bush as well.
Let me guess, you were a peacenik during GW's reign, but now that its Obama calling the shots you consider the wars and acts of aggresion smart, intelligent, calculated foreign policy ?
This "winner" has been involved with more wars in more countries in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years.
And the Dems were so against war until 2008.
Nice spin--Bush's disaster in Iraq extinguished more lives than any of Obama's "wars".
As for Dems--GWB had 90% approval ratings when he went into Afghanistan. Bush had support. He just squandered it with his idiotic Invasion in 2003.
