Syria

[HaloCory22]

I can't wait for the draft.

Reports are that the strike will be significantly larger than expected:

I'm starting to think that all hell might break loose in a few days.

Syria should be an artificial sweetener or a def leppard song, not a country. The world would be better if it were.

[Tank]

Russian warships streaming to the area.

Putin saying he will help Syria in case of a U.S. attack.

Iran threatening our embassy in Iraq.

Threat of Iranian attack on Israel.

Al qaeda threatening "revenge" attacks on Americans here and abroad.

 

What could go wrong?

 

saw a short clip of senator mccain meeting with some of his constituents in a town hall meeting yesterday. he supports going in to syria and raining down justice old style, but when people were expressing their great unhappiness with the idea of another war, he just smirked some smarmy smile and brushed them off. their viewpoints meant absolutely nothing to him, and his dismissiveness of them combined with his desire to engage another war ought to be just cause for him to never be elected again.

 

we're going to war, folks. they're clearly not interested in listening to any of us.

smell the tyranny?

Ever since McCain visibly laughed at Ron Paul at one of the debates I lost all respect for him.  He thinks he just knows so damn much more than us.  Playing poker during Senate discussions and dismissing his constituents is just icing on his despicable cake.

Obama was right when he said the international community's credibility is on the line, because it will be their responsibility to convict and punish Obama and his regime for violating international law.  If the U.N. and ICC just stand by and look the other way, then they are nothing but accomplices.

that'll be the title of the michael moore movie condemning obama for going into syria.

Tank, I am going disagree with you here.  When McCain said, "I'm all in."  He was referring to his Kings over Sevens full house, he just drew.

Pour some Syria on me!

Ha!  That will not happen.

[shellback]

jmo, michael moore is kind of a dick

[Bruce Nye]

"kind of" a dick?

 

A little research will tell you he is a major hypocritical dick.

There is no reason why McCain should fear for his job. He and his other doucher long-standing Congressmen have got such a sweet thing going for them.

[mtangelsfan]

The Senate is part of Congress.  Therefore so is McCain.

I'm guessing you're smarter than that so I'm gonna take it as a troll comment.

So I guess the whole reason we are getting involved has nothing to do with chem weapon use, but

 

Europe needs another gas pipeline, big money to be had there

• Saudi Arabia wants to build one through Syria to reach Europe
• Iran wants to build one through Syria to reach Europe

 

• Iran & Assad = Shia
• Rebels & Saudi = Sunni

 

We are in bed with Saudi Arabia, so we will do what it takes to "justify" clearing the land for a regime that will back the Saudis

 

Am I missing something here?

McCain is a Senator.

 

True statement.

 

In fact ... I think he's also one of the founding fathers.

You're thinking of Bruce

Well ... I am thinking about Bruce.  But that has nothing to do with my post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Bruce ... (wink)

This is who the US has aligned itself with.

I think it's about Iran first, second, and third. Surely there are elements in Saudi that want the pipeline but they consider Iran their greatest enemy, even more so than Israel. The Saudi influence is certainly in play in that respect.

I wish Scott34 was back posting in here. I'd like to know his opinion on if us bombing Syria would be an act of war like we saw the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor as an act of war.
