Obama's Syrian Red Line

[dellinger63]

Apparently has been crossed (enough) that we will supply military aid to the rebels.

On the very same day the rebels have pledged their loyalty to al Qaeda

If in the history of wars there was ever one we shouldn't get involved in, it is this one, yet we are now supplying military aid to al Qaeda loyalists.

Uhuh, that has already been accomplished,i.e. G W Bush's invasion of a sovereign nation..Iraq...We should just stay out of Syria and let the two sides fight it out..

Watched most of Frontline tues nite, Syria Behind The Lines...interviews with both sides and both saying they are fighting for a free Syria..

Agree with you there and think there's an out for the President if our military aid support is limited to body bags.

a continuance of bad foreign policy. not sure what's so magical about chemical weapons. wtf does it matter what they're using to kill each other?
should never have said a word back when obama first mentioned this 'line'. this is why i don't use ultimatums, or make threats-you might get stuck having to back it up, or suck it up.
of course, barack won't be the one actually backing it up. the enemy of my enemy could also be my enemy, but some in d.c. still think the enemy of their enemy is their friend. WRONG.
this is a mistake. but, hey, maybe this'll take the heat off the irs scandal. or is it the nsa scandal? fbi? there's suddenly so many, hard to keep track.

i'm not happy about this decision, haven't been since i first saw the story.

Hey, we have to do something with all the extra money we have laying around.

Obamanomics: As long as you spend it on war and/or spying they're not allowed to count it against the budget.

Doesn't matter who you're killing mind you, you just havta be killin' folks. And spying is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY!!! If you're against spying,why, you're...you're..... ANTI-AMERICAN!!!

Hey, maybe we can buy a whole bunch of more drones with our make believe money to give them away too.

then again we wouldn't be able to justify our meddling in Syria for the next 10 years if we did that....or maybe...


I love it when this grows on trees.

Unlike my visit to the local massage parlor - this will not have a happy ending

[Danzig]

the president should lay out an explanation as to why we are getting more involved. why? for what purpose, to what end?
but then, he has a lot of explaining to do, about a lot of things.

[Danzig]

so....the president hell-bent on disarming his own citizens is also hell-bent on arming those in syria.
doesn't make a lot of sense.
