I wonder which arms dealer Menendez works for? What are the Israelis expecting? Which side do they fear more? If we must supply arms we should give to both sides and encourage their mutual annihilation. Better we stay far, far away.

Those comments came AFTER a Dem introduced a bill to arm the "good" rebels.
From the OP link:
Corker's comments came a day after Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, a Democrat, introduced legislation to arm Syrian rebels, punish countries that arm Assad's regime, and stabilize the country when and if he loses power.
Yes the usual suspects of course scream Bush and republican "war mongers" when it is a democrat who proposes a bill to arm the rebels who the UN just said are the guys who used the nerve gas. Don't worry though nobody is reporting it and dear leader and his cadre of liars are just telling us all to ignore facts and listen to what they say. It's quite unbelievable. Same blueprint as Libya. Who will volunteer to be our Ambassador there after we pave the way with NATO airstrikes for the rebels to kill Assad I guess is the question?

Can we just stay out of one of these sandbox fights for once?!
Too late. Barack opened his trap and committed the US to doing something when he spouted off about crossing a red line. This buffoon does not know when to shut up.
I'm specifically speaking about McCain and the other usual suspects who have never seen a foreign policy problem where they didn't think starting a war was the solution. You know, the same folks who have spent the last two weeks demanding we start booming and claiming we should attack due to the poison gas incident even claiming Obama was weak for wanting to wait for more information wrt who actually was behind the gas attack.
It turns out Obama was probably right as it is looking like the rebels did it in an attempt to manipulate the west into helping them militarially. Obama was right in that case and the chicken hawks have been wrong, as usual.
If you want to attack another country you should really make certain you know who the guilty party is especially since war would kill thousands. If we listened to the Republicans and went to war half cocked, again, then we'd now be neck deep in a sectarian civil war for false reasons. There is no one in the sectarian civil war in Syria who is on "our side" and I prefer not to see American lives and American money wasted fighting someone else's war.
