Brb firing rockets at Damascus

[NightRain]

bahaha poor soldiers. Nextstop. Syria.

[CrazyWR]

ya gonna have to disagree with you on this one buddy

[PonySlaystation]

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.

Brb firing rockets at Damascus

Reported to NSA and Putin.

Speaking of Syria, you know it's a complicated situation when Russia + Iran supports one side, and USA + Al Qaeda supports the other.

murica in a pointless war?

[DarkSoldierX]

Sharia law here we come.

That chemical bombing is quite possibly one of the most effective false flag operations known to modern history. Especially when it gets 'Merica to join its current and future enemies to help them install a highly religious government.

You don't happen to be one of those that believes 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government?

Right.

Cui Buono. The Syrian government has absolutely nothing to gain in using tactics that will draw western superpowers into the conflict. They have about 3 separate cases in the last decade where the US gets involved, their government will crumble. Shit, Assad is even allowing UN inspectors to investigate the gas site. They'd do it too if they weren't constantly under sniper fire. Also, the last investigation into a Syrian Sarin attack yielded that it was a high probability that the FSA were the ones to use the gas. The point here is that no one at all knows what the fuck is going on and military intervention right now would be pre-mature by any measure.

Yes what is going on in Syria is absolutely terrible, but it bothers me that there are still people that will buy into the "Weapons of Mass destruction" Iraq 2.0 bullshit. They lie through their teeth and people are still buying into it.  

If you want to go fight for the FSA, then hop on a boat over there. The last thing the U.S. needs is another pointless, destabilizing, debt-financed conflict.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that we are going to leave Syria a depleted uranium smoking crater.

'murica again low on funds?

they let them inspect the site...but only after 5 days had passed.  Everyone involved agrees the rapid degradation of chemical weapons means that it is highly unlikely anything will be found at this point.  Snipers were firing on them to prevent them from inspecting the site delaying them further.  Why would the rebels keep inspectors away from the site?  Thats asinine.

Addressing your first point, using chemical weapons in a war is not a rational decision.  Its an emotional decision made to inflict a special kind of pain on your enemies.  Assad is clearly an asshole, we can all agree on that.

Whether they used chemical weapons or not, I don't see how you can be opposed to removing someone like him from power.  Its not like the US needs to stay in the region for an extended length of time.  Simply providing air support and ammunition/weaponry for the rebels should be enough at this point. 

Finally, while clearly there weren't WMD's in Iraq, and we should not have gone in there because of that reason, the fact is that we did.  However, one would hope that we have learned from that experience.  You would expect there to be a much cleaner exit plan in place in any future conflicts in the Middle East.  If the US goes in, it will likely be a short period of time, not a full-out deployment.

I would finally like to say I think we left Iraq too soon, but I doubt that opinion will be shared by many...

Ironically a lot of Syria's stockpile came from Iraq.

No, actually I believe islamic extremist did 9/11 on there own.

Now on the other hand, what does Assad have to gain by doing this the exact same week UN inspectors come? That makes zero sense at all. Assad has very little to gain from this, yet risk ALL of his power, and his life, by doing this. On the other hand FSA has EVERYTHING to gain, with little risk of retaliation from major powers. And to further show that Assad wouldn't do this i'd like to point out that Assad is not losing the war. He is far from desperate, and his men are taking small bits of territory here and there.


And then even if Assad DID do this, who the hell wants to waste millions funding air strikes only to have Islamic extremist replace the otherwise secular(in comparison) yet tyrannical government.
