So will he. He doesn't have squat to do in the morning.

Assad and Russia are not fighting ISIS, so I am not sure what you mean by the cooperation.

I posted on it many times. I know what happened. Your argument boils down to guidelines or no guidelines we are going to indiscriminately bomb people from the air killing thousands and thousands of innocent people and I noted where you are good with that with your own words.

U.S. Airstrikes in Iraq, Syria Killed Twice the Civilians Previously Announced - NBC News

The only guidelines were to lie about it.

Thank you for your comments, which leave me wondering where you get your news from. You are apparently not up to speed. have you ever heard of terrorists using "human shields?" Have you never read about suicide bombings at airports (most recently Brussels, Belgium, an airport I have traveled through), or in markets? Really? You must be very uninformed.

And of course right here in the U.S. A. we had such a terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. You heard about that, right?

Every media source I've read today states that the US is denying hitting a mosque.

It would be more appropriate if people titled threads more truthfully here. Unless the OP has an inside connection to military intel, why would he/she post such a misleading and provocative "headline" long before the actual truth is known? Why do so many people here do the same?

That's a rhetorical question, of course. I know why people over-emote and stretch reality to fit narratives. I personally find such willful exaggeration to be very dishonest and certainly not at all admirable, however.

We are WRONG either way. We had NO business getting involved in Syria, Libya, Yemen or remaining in Iraq or Afghanistan.

That you would not protest those actions but actually voted for them is the reason we are where we are now.

It's apparent that you have never taken it upon yourself to learn about Islam. Hint: They don't attack us because of anything we did to them.

I would suggest you take seriously what they openly admit, that they intend to make the USA (and the entire world) subject to Islamic Law. Islamic jihad is real, in case you didn't know. I would suggest you do some study on Islam. You need to learn what this enemy believes.

Yes they are. ISIS/Rebels. They are the same people. People we armed.

We dropped bombs on a country that did not attack us. You can argue the fine points, the where and the who if you like, but regardless we have no moral justification for doing so.
