So are we officially at war with Syria since we are bombing their troops?

It’s definitely an act of war. 

[mtangelsfan]

We suck..

[Blarg]

We are involved in a war with five conflicting armies in the same zone. Someone is getting their ass bombed.

[mtangelsfan]

Thanks Senator McCain

[Blarg]

Do you know why the Syrian army got bombed or are the facts unnecessary?

[Lhalo]

Enlighten us.

no, but hum a few bars and i'll fake it . . .

[AngelsLongBall]

Except the article said it wasn’t the Syrian army, it was an allied militia, and they were bombed after 500 lead an unprovoked attack on Western forces HQ

[Lhalo]

Unprovoked attack? It's a civil war and we are illegally involved. We have zero fucking business stepping foot in that country.

The Syria situation is really not that bad or complicated.

You see, we don't like Assad. So we arm his enemies even though they may be sketchy themselves. Maybe some of his enemies are ISIS so we could potentially arm them.

But we don't like ISIS either so we take them out as much as possible, which in turn helps out our friend Assad. Or was he the enemy?

Now Russia likes Assad and we seem to be buddy buddy with Russia but we don't (?) like Assad so we bomb some of his allied militia. 

 

Money well spent America.

You forgot to mention that the whole reason we don't like Assad is because we want a natural gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe.

I think the fact that he is tight with Russia might have something to do with it too.

Not denying that. Russia has their Gazprom pipe going to Europe along with their airbase in Latakia which makes them heavily involved in Assad's defense. I just find it humorous that our politicians try to sell war under the guise that we are attempting to liberate the Syrian people.

I think you forgot about simple stuff up in Northern Syria, on how we like the Kurds.  And that we like to arm them.  And that Russia and Assad has been relatively peaceful to them, and for the most part, the Kurds haven't confronted Assads forces.  But our allies and NATO member Turkey hates them, and has gone into Syria to attack them.

So are half the leaders in Africa. They just don’t have a pipeline to offer us.

Yeah but there are evil despots all over the globe.  Why are we just in Syria?

In before "you mean like Trump?"

[UndertheHalo]

Not dissimilar from Saddam Hussein.  Whether you love or hate the guy depends on who you’re asking.  These are complex issues.  Syrian Christians for example, really support and like the Assad regime.  Same with Iraqi Christians and Saddam.  Bashars father was a strong man in the mold of Saddam Hussein.  Bashar is less brutal personally.  Obviously, government is extremely brutal.
