@#$%^&^ the “red line!” While I agree that Assad needs to be deposed, the rebels look like another Taliban. It’s doubtful they would have any loyalty to the US after gaining power. Intervening in Syria is not within our best interests. Any other nation looking to the US to intervene in Syria should take the responsibility upon themselves. Let someone else act like the world police and pay for it. We can’t afford it. We have our own problems to solve.
Please, do not commit American treasure or troops to an internal foreign civil war. If we do support the victors, it will only be a matter of time before they start sending their disaffected children here to set off bombs at public events, in their show of gratitude. Remember, the US Government supported the Chechnyan rebels in their war against the old Soviet Union.
If you believe this is a tactic unique to liberals, you haven’t been paying attention. I agree that those types of posts are not helping, but I see those behaviors emanating from both sides.
93,000 dead with “conventional weapons”, and 100-150 killed by Sarin. Bullets leave red lines, and pools, Sarin does not. This is the most idiotic “rational for action”, ever. I’m truly sickened by the President bowing to the right wing morons, who don’t even have the slightest clue who we may be arming.
Yes, Assad sucks, but so did many worse dictators we supported over the decades, but they were “righties”. Remember, we used to support Saddam. WE supported the Taliban/AlQaeda to kick the Russians out of Afghanistan. We supported the most corrupt regime in Asia to fight Ho Chie Minh, who’d already won his country twice!
I guess I have to admit that neither party is showing a majority of maturity, or mental health.
“Obama’s sentiments exactly.Setting a red line is exactly what Obama does when he doesn’t have his teleprompters to tell him what to say.”Blah blah blah. Both sides are talking out of their @$$es about Syra.
We were covertly arming them, but you rightwing morons would rather score political points than advance democracy, so you blew the whistle on the Benghazi operation instead of just shutting the **** up and letting our intelligence community operate quietly.

Why don’t you go help them, if you believe the CIA/NSA report. They just want to deflect attention from their spying on Americans.

Would you prefer they had a theocracy over a secular government?

If Obama is hesitant to send Americans to die there, he should be applauded.
