Syria: Chemical weapons

6spd · 08-28-2013, 11:38 AM

Too bad Congress members won't ever hurt their own careers with reform campaign laws. And so many people lately are talking about a revolution here, blah blah blah, there's no way in heck that would bring a balance of power. Power corrupts, plain and simple.

Way off topic, so Syria?! What a cluster F.

Syria is lucky they have oil, because that means we'll get involved. We don't care about your internal problems unless you've got oil. If it was subsaharan Africa no one would do a damn thing.

They say the civil war in Syria began in early 2011, and al-Assad has since been adding more and more fuel to the fire. It is astonishing how quickly this "war" has grown in such short time, and now this, just sickening.

It's not "grown" in a short time. It's that the MSM has been promoting Obama's domestic crap instead of paying attention to this issue. Now he and his admin are in crisis mode getting ready to help Al Qaeda (our enemy) take down Assad. WTF???

Damned if we do, damned if we don't. At this point, we should just take our ball and go home. Let everyone's problems be their problems.

I think it's got more to do with Syria being backed so hard by Iran. I wouldn't expect to much extra supply given to Al Qaeda, er cough cough, the "rebels". I guess the Admin is confident they can scare Assad into submission with a short term bombing campaign. Better that than soldiers on the ground and more weapons changing hands. F'in oil...

Chuck33079 · 08-28-2013, 11:54 AM

Yep. We've got to pick between Iran or Al Qaeda. It's always a **** sandwich over there since Iran/Iraq, USSR/Afghanistan, etc. No matter which horse you back, you end up ankle deep in ****.

That's because that's the point where this thread will turn from civil discussion to monkeys throwing poo at each other. It is borderline impossible to have a rational discussion about Israel and our backing of them.

6spd · 08-28-2013, 12:03 PM

True that, moving on then!

I think it's a crying shame that the media is so far left that they sweep under the rug the fact that the rebels are Al Qaeda for the most part. Doing so keeps more of the dumb masses from realizing that we'd be aiding the terrorist group we've been fighting for over a decade...

Chuck33079 · 08-28-2013, 12:07 PM

But there's bad things happening on the TV! We've got to do something! There's children over there!

Yep its all in the name of the children....

Chuck33079 · 08-28-2013, 12:11 PM

We don't get the majority of our oil from the ME anyway. It's the damn speculators that are going to use Syria as a reason to run up the cost of oil.

Yeah but its way bigger than Syria. The Saudis have a lot of influence over our gov, and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that they'd threaten oil supplies to get us involved. They are backing the rebels.

Chuck33079 · 08-28-2013, 12:14 PM

The Saudis always pretend to be our friends, and then **** us in the *** every chance they get.
