   Let the UN ‘act’. They will impose new taxes on Syria. That will show them.

   The problem isn’t not noticing. The problem is that the “rebels” our government wants to put in power are worse criminals than the ones who are currently in power.

   Yes, we really really need to give weapons to those four guys.

   “wants to put in power”?

   You could have actually made a good point if you stuck with who the rebels are rather than ending with an rwnj talking point.

   Hey, stopped clocks and all that. I really don’t know what RWNJs are saying about this stuff but it’s not impossible that they could be occasionally correct about something. No, I can’t think of any examples where they have, but….
   
   

   It’s nothing but the standard playbook: Train and arm a proxy force so that when they take over the country, they’ll do things the way you want. If that fails you consider other options like bombing or sending in your own troops, and if your guys eventually stop being on your side you start the whole process over again with somebody else. This has been going on for the past 50-60 years under administrations of both parties.

   America as World policeman hasn’t worked out so well for America in the last few decades. Its like playing cards with fly paper.

   Iraq(our friend) is allowing Iran to send planes with weapons to Syria. Afghanistan says ‘NO’ to a permanent military base. Lybia leadership is a mess. New Pakistan president threatens to close, again, the only road US has to provide supplies to US Troops because we are killing Taliban inside their borders.

   US State Dept is incompetent.
   It is time to recognize: US Will Fail in Syria.

   My point was "our government wants to put in power " is unsupported and uses fox propoganda terminology. If there was a side we were for at this point things would have been moved forward already. I don’t see a clear direction for our support of anyone. Even McCain tried to help with his trip, notice how no Dems stomped on him for that picture? He went there to find out the deal, and what he found out is not looking good for us.

    I don’t know how you can’t conclude that the administration is working to get rid of Assad. Even the NYT has reported that the CIA is arming Syrian “rebel” groups. Then there’s the steady stream of propaganda, like the announcement that the Syrian government used chemical weapons — it later turned out that it was the opposition who did this. Our government’s on one side, in fact it pretty much is that side, it just doesn’t want to be too overt about it, possibly because of how Russia and China might react. I don’t know if Fox “News” is saying anything like this, I’d be surprised if they are, but either way, “X says Y is true but X is a total chucklehead, therefore Y is false” is not really a valid argument.
