Syria

[VariousCrap]

So why then did they gas some of their own fighters?  Also, sketchy reports from Turkish media don't really hold much credibility with me.

 

 

Yet you believe "sketchy reports" from the same people who said Iraq had WMDs?  Interesting.

 

 

Also, the recent chemical weapons attack occurred in an area that had Syrian military.

 

“How is it possible that any country would use chemical weapons, or any weapons of mass destruction, in an area where its own forces are located?”

Yet reports stating that we had found WMDs from OUR media during the Iraq war were credible?  

 

We're going to keep going in circles here.  

 

As for the first question, you do realize that this is Al Qaeda we are talking about?  Al Qaeda sacrifices their own.  I thought that was common knowledge.

 

Edit: Damnit, Jim.

Sorry Gavin, but excellent point about Al Qaeda.  They have no problem killing themselves to further their cause.

 

 

The Iraq war is over.  The Afghanistan war is coming to an end.  Now a new war is about to begin.

 

 

This constant state of war is going to really F us over.

Oil is at $110 a barrel and SocGen seems to think that it will go up to $120-$125 with an airstrike in Syria. Could reach $150 if the Iraq supply is disrupted. That should bode well for our economy.

Bombing to start as early as Thursday? I really hope this is BS.

Lol...at info from US spies.  These are the same spies that said Iraq had WMDs.  I don't trust them at all.

 

I might as well counter with this as it is just as legit of a source:

 "Factors weighing into the timing of any action include a desire to get it done before the president leaves for Russia next week," reports CNN, citing a "senior administration official."

 

Good to know that the U.S. action has been carefully and thoughtfully planned.

This is part of what really bothers me about this situation.  If this was Bush, Liberals would be crying about it, demanding hard evidence and so on.  Being Obama is President, they are silent.

 

If illegal war actions are wrong under Bush, they are wrong under Obama.

Exactly my thoughts on this.

[Brandon]

The country with the biggest defense spending (more than the top 10 combined) is going to work.

[jshep]

Oh good, our current clusterf*ck was getting a little stale.

[Lhalo]

This country loves to piss on the constitution. Our president can just attack foreign lands at will without any approval of congress. What the hell have we become?

[Lhalo]

"A Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted last week found just 25 percent of Americans supported intervening after a chemical weapons attack."

It's obvious that the American people don't want to get involved in this yet our government is going to drag us in anyway.

Well they couldn't very well start it today.

If this video is accurate then it really makes you view this country as scum. Wow.

[TennAngelsFan]

Perhaps someone has pointed out the hypocrisy of John Kerry promoting military action in that part of the world. I don't see any good guys and see no way for this to turn out well. This is some scary stuff. From almost everyone I know that has been over there, they think it's insane to mess with those people.

John Kerry is the one that threw Vietnam vets under the bus after he gathered up all his bogus medals over there in his 3 month tour. I still remember his rant to congress against war. Now he's wealthy and powerful so it's ok with him.

[Scott34]

Iraq is not even remotely similar to Syria.

[mtangelsfan]

Scott, you do understand that dropping bombs on a country is basically an act of war, right?

 

It's not something we can just do and not expect any ramifications from.  I just cannot believe this is going to happen.

[Kevin]

Iraq is not even remotely similar to Syria.

In what way do you mean exactly? I could already tell you in what ways they will be similar. A money pit and if we get to heavily involved, more of our soldiers will needlessly die or be scarred for life. Both physically and emotionally. Long after the guns have cooled.

I'm not antiwar but it must be a last resort for us, our soldiers, and the innocent caught in the middle of it.
