the way your posts have been rolling, you'll have the masses believing that we are going to storm the Syrian beaches like we did in WWII and that's not the case at all. If, the chemical weapons have a chance of falling into Al Nasra's hands we will move to secure them.
Yes, yes, I know AQ already has limited capability of CWs but they don't have delivery systems and they don't have military grade CW. We cannot allow syrian CW to fall into terrorists hands, period.
Which is the reasoning to land on the beach.
Yet we lost the gold, weapons and chemicals in Libya and that's NBD ?
War? It seems like only RWNJ's are declaring war. I am for a limited engagement to do the maximum possible damage to the Assad regime, to indicate that chemical weapons are in-no-way acceptable.
Stop being a partisan hack. Think for yourself.
Obama is a RWNJ? Whodathunk....... translation..... you use hyperbole to try and defend your nonsensical stance.
The only partisan on here is you kid....... you can't pick and choose what war you like based on party..... which is what you are doing
Maybe the school shooting in CT got you all riled up an you want to take it out on other nations?
It's so telling: Republicans now act dovish but trashed Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012 for being dovish.
Just like Democrats claim to be anti-war while campaigning, but once they take office turn into warmongerers.
What's it gonna take for people in this country to wake up and see that BOTH parties are completely, totally, 100% against their interests and only work for certain special-interest groups--while at the same time working together behind the scenes to keep us divided and at each others' throats?
Saving lives and preventing the proliferation of chemical weapons is emotional? Defending helpless people is emotional? Sorry, friend... Where I come from that's called nobel.
Sorry you couldn't find a rational reason to disagree with me.
It is an emotional reason. By that logic, the US should be giving handouts to African children. It's not Americas business to be saving lives around the world. Let the country sort out their own problems. The role of a military is to serve and protect it's nation. The role of the government is to do everything in it's power to protect and govern it's nation so it's people will be well off. Going to intervene in a situation in a foreign country has nothing to do with America. Zero.
If you'd like since you care so much, why don't you start your own task force with the rest of your hippie lib friends and go liberate the Syrian people? While you're there, you can oversee the radical Muslims who will take over.
You say this as if you don't believe that Syria can retaliate. They are being supported by the Russians.
Do you really believe that this is worth sacrificing American lives?
Sure, it's possible there won't be any American casualties, but Russia threatened there will be "consequences."
Does that count for anything?
Chance we have to take. My position is that none of us have a clue what exactly the big picture is in all of this. Our leaders do. For the first time in 5 years the rabid opposition of president Obama is supporting his actions concerning Syria. this after secret intelligence briefings. I'll bow to the bi-partisan consensus in this case. even the politicians who have obstructed the president are going with the bi-partisan consensus. That's good enough for me. I support our Commander in Chief and the action he takes. It's time for the rabid partisanship to cease on this issue. Our leaders realize it and the rest of us ought to also. In the final standing, we are all warriors in the fight against terrorism.
I think most Americans who support the idea of the U.S. getting involved in the Syria situation also thought we should have done more for Libya, instead of making bombing runs. It has to do with the fact that we can do something about it. Atrocities against fellow humans are going on somewhere in the world, and those people believe we should do all in our power to help them.
Personally, I think we should stay away from Syria. We are in no position to go meddling in the business of others. Plus, Russia is on the Syrian government's side, and we do not want to **** them off.
