First you have to figure out who the "good guys" are. Which is impossible because there are none...I watched a Youtube clip of so-called rebels who had a pick up truck loaded with mutilated and bloodied corpses...They were parked on a high bridge over a river...As they tossed in corpse after corpse you could see the water turn red...while doing this the lunatics were chanting GOD is GREAT....Why in heaven's name would you want to involve yourself in such a matter...They talk about the use of poison gas as if it is a sin...YET blowing the arms and legs of people with AKs is just fine?
America has lost it's sense of good judgement...If you saw a brawl of crazy people in front of a bar...would you stop to figure out who the bad guys are and help the good guys? NO....any person in their right mind would cross the street and avoid an situation that is damned to a poor out come...Time for America to cross the street and mind their own business...What ever the out come if Syria is left to it's own device - No matter what the out come - there will be no real ill effect on America.
BUT America is like an old knight with a gold plated sword decorated in rubies and diamond...So much expense has gone into weaponry that the weapon must be used. This is the problem...same as the one the former Soviet Union had regarding the misadventure in Afghanistan...The had a huge military and it had to be used.
Military personal in America have lost total respect for government and have figured out that they die and their friends die serving men who enrich themselves through war and are addicted to administrative thrill seeking....The bored rich had better find another hobby other than warfare....More war may enrich the elite but it will finally bankrupt the American empire. For God's sake the average American can not afford a doctor but they can afford a 100 thousand dollar smart bomb...that kills a few goat herders carrying small arms??????? Time to break the habit.
I totally agree. Let them duke it out by themselves.

Well, Congress wants to build tanks the Pentagon doesn't want so we gotta build 'em for somebody, eh? Gotta keep the defense industry rollin' in the deep $$$

It doesn't happen until Obama decides it does. But as we've seen over and over and over, Obama will get a pass by 40 some percent of the people no matter what he does.

Yeah, it's a beeyitch, ain't it?
The first POTUS to get a pass on everything he does.
I'm guessing you're too young to remember Nixon and Reagan or is it you're just too biased?
Egypt is getting involved now too. And who knows how this will affect Iran

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood denounces Assad, backs Sunni front on Syria
By Alastair Macdonald and Maggie Fick, Reuters
Syria's president and his Shi'ite allies were denounced by leading Sunni Arab voices on Friday, including Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood, which had reached out across Islam's sectarian divide but has now called for jihad.
The Brotherhood accused Shi'ites of being at the root of sectarian conflicts throughout history and threw its weight behind holy war - just months after a high-profile rapprochement with Iran, which backs Bashar al-Assad and Lebanon's Hezbollah.
I know one thing that would affect the US in a good way......................STAY THE HELL AWAY!
If people want to keep killing other people over the "My prophet is better than your prophet" BS, let them. The world will be a better place without them.

[quote=pknopp;30010985]Does Obama have any campaign promises he's not broke yet?
The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced Thursday.
Saddam used chemical weapons against the people in his country also. I guess Bush now has an excuse and a partner in war.[/quote]
Actually...no you don't...
Bush lied and claimed that Nuclear wepons were on the horizon, which was a bald faced lie.
