Wonder how many children will be killed if we lob a couple hundred cruise missiles into Syria.

A better question is :How many children were killed in Shitcago since Obama took office?" and "Why isn't the UN doing a fucking thing about it?"

He has been accused of doing so. I haven't seen any evidence. Though the people who told me about the "terribly offensive" youtube video that caused a protest to get out of control in Benghazi resulting in the death of our Ambassador, now say they have a undeniable "circumstantial" case against him.

I have learned not to take things coming from the Middle East at face value. I have also learned not to believe the current presidential administration. Taking their word on something that happened in the Middle East during a conflict between Middle Easterners..... I think I will do as Mr. Obama has warned us in the past when we were attacked by Islamic militants,
“But when a tragedy like this happens … it’s important that we do this right,” he claimed.
“That’s why we have investigations … That’s why we have courts.  And that’s why we take care not to rush to judgment."

Assad:

  • Sent jihadis and weapons to kill us in Iraq.
  • Supports Hezbollah, which has killed a lot of Americans (including the 241 Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers in the '83 barracks bombing)
  • Is a strong ally of Iran

It's not a zero sum game. Everyone can be an asshole here.



Yes, but when one enemy is busily exterminating another enemy, should you not cheer his progress?

I'm fine with that, but we are getting some posters on here that seem to think Assad is a good guy.


 

No one over there is a good guy. He is a "stable" guy.

Very true, only thing I might quibble with is the secular uprising.  The arab spring is largly a MB uprising.  Helped in Syria by the ruling Shia/majority sunni situation.

Someone please show me the proof that he gassed his people, look at who had the most to gain.
It was the insurgents, that's who. I would think that gassing their own, or accidentally setting off their own chemical weapons was the cause of this. Not even Assad is crazy enough to let the gas fly with the UN there. there are reports just as credible as those in our own media that it was mishandled chemical weapons supplied by the Saudis that went off and not a military op of Assads
.
If the proof you have is what obummer is supplying, its as suspect as most of the intel before the Iraq war. As someone who has extensive training in NBC warfare , and in real life chemical disasters of the organophosphate kind, the videos appear to be total bullshit. also chemical inspectors going in cotton clothes to a suspected chem site attack, and not even using good precautions reeks of BS.
If you doubt it, look up persistency of chemical weapons, esp organophosphates. that shit is ridiculously easy to make, and just as easy to fuck up and release.

Would people who routinely behead people, butcher families in front of four year olds etc. be willing to do something like that, you bet. Plus what about all the liveleak videos showing the rebels launching their own chemical weapons at the Syrian army.

I have no love for Assad and his regime, but there doing a great job of killing each other without wasting American lives, Hell half our country is on welfare and we want to do the bidding of the ruling elite in the middle east. Let them solve their own problems, If Saudi Arabia wants something done, they can use all the military gear weve already sent them, they have the troops, and the money. we don't. there is not one thing there that is worth a drop of American blood.

And who cares if Qatar just discovered huge deposits of natural Gas. we don't need it. we don't need anything from them. Except for them all to repay the billions weve spent the last 12 years fighting their fight. they can never replace the lost American lives. and heres a clue for some of you, they already hate us, so fuck them

IF those numbers are accurate (which I still highly doubt, given the source), would you really put that past some of the extremists in the FSA?  They have already lost tens of thousands in this war and they are losing.  Successfully framing Assad and bringing down the might of the US military on him would likely win the war for the FSA.  This is a brutal civil war, the rebels know what Assad's going to do to them if he wins, so what do they have to lose?

Not to sound too tin-foiley here, but this whole series of events sure is playing well into the hands of the FSA.  If they win it will be Egypt all over again, except they won't get thrown out of power after trying a hostile takeover.

Right. he is a certified asshole at war with certified assholes. Got it.

Based on the history that you have presented we had  more of a reason to attack Syria during the Iraq War than we do now and although he is no good he happens to hate the Muslim Brotherhood and the various extremist groups supporting the rebels.


Both groups are certainly only ever going to be enemies of the United States, both groups will will certainly cost american lives in the future, why would we hinder the abitliy for either of them to continue lkilling each  other?

Future killers of Americans are killing each other and we're going to interfer with that.

While they are currently doing our work without risk to american lives we are going to serve americans up for them to target? we are going to destroy relationships with other nations and renew the vigor of islamic hated against the US. Because alledgedly Bashar gas a couple of hundred people with weapons he's had for 30+ years, we are going to kill far more than that.
