Looks like there's a strong possibility that both sides are using chemical weapons. Are you going to side with the tyrant in power or the extremist rebels who were infiltrated by Al Qaeda?
Hmmm...which ones?
I was asking for the rational from the side supporting strikes and trying to point out the futility of lobbing ordinance into Syria. My personal preference, as is yours, is we stay the he!! out. I'm not a fan of quagmires.

This is not about past presidents, past policy, etc. It's about the boy king telling us how different foreign policy would be under his regime. Guess he lied about that too.
Foreign policy goals change only according to who holds the purse strings. It's never about the greater good, never has been.

Obama lied about being different. I knew he was lying when he said it. They all lie.

This mornings news says that the US intercepted a message.
Iran told Iraq to attack the US Embassy if we attack Syria.
Funny because AQ in Iraq said the same thing 2 days ago..if the US attacks Syria they will seek revenge by attacking the US Embassy. This was al-Nusra.

And now the State Dept is start to tell diplomats to leave. US Embassy in Lebanon got the order this morning.

There's no way to win by intervening in the Middle East. To quote one of my favorite silly Cold War-era films: The only winning move is not to play.

Why not answer the simple question posed to you? or are you so partisan that you are unable or unwilling to answer it?
