Republicans are openly talking about boots on the ground in Syria (Clinton, 9/11)

[lilyflower3191981]

I read an article says that

The Syrian government, by all appearances, used nerve gas to kill hundreds of its own citizens. If it passes without a response, this will not be the last time we see these weapons in use -- and not just in a distant battlefield. Chemical weapons are not only appealing to dictators refusing to relinquish power, but they also could make an appearance in other wars, and they are ideal for terrorist groups seeking to inflict maximum fear.

I mean these people are shameless.

Agreed, but what made it our responsibility to act? Isn't that what the UN is for?

It should be news when Republicans are talking about not having boots on the ground..

, and it disturbs me that the drone used to kill Jihad John cost 64 million dollars.

That is exactly what I meant. They (the Syria government) are so ruthless and shameless. Why should American soldiers be dying for them?

To avoid attacks here. I figure for every 10 casualties there, we most likely aborted a few future jihadists.

Just no.

The cycles of combat have been so long and so frequent that thousands soldiers now have spent three to four cumulative years at war in Iraq or Afghanistan.

American soldiers of the 21st century are quietly making history, serving in combat longer than almost any U.S. soldiers in the nation's past.

Why should they keep on dying for the stupid Middle East I must ask?

Never said it is American responsibility to act.

You must be a ready to join then. It doesn't require intelligence, bravery, or common sense to belittle a group from behind a monitor and keyboard....
