That's what "leading from behind" got us.  If we'd stepped on Assad from 50k feet right at the start, there'd be a 13% chance of not having a complete clusterfuck islamist regime there (note 87% chance it would anyway). Now it's lose/lose. Assad or Aloha and the Snackbar Gang.....

That boat has sailed and I would even say that boat never existed.  Naive wishful thinking IMO.  The MB has always been at the forefront of the opposition in Syria dating back to the 50's.  This is not the first time the regime has had to deal with a Sunni Islamist revolt.

I could give a rats ass about Mulisms using chemical weapons against other Muslims.    Its not worth the life of one Marine defending, no matter what one side did to the other side.


100% agree.  

As I said in another thread, NOTHING in Syria is in our national interest.  Syria is not our friend, and will not be in the future regardless of who wins.  If they want help, they can ask their pals the Soviets Russians.

Quoted:
I was watching a discussion regarding the Syria situation and their use of Sarin on Syrians rebels.

As you may recall, the President warned the Syrians that the movement of, or use of chemical weapons were a "red line" that they should not cross.  Of course, this was an implied threat from us if they did this.  The Syrians have now done this in defiance of that threat.  The question is how should we respond?  If we do nothing, the tinpot dictators of the world will assume that a warning from the US is not something that necessarily needs to be taken seriously.  However, if we do respond, we have to dedicate assets to do this.

Now - the question isn't what Obama will do - the question is what do you think we should do?


Poll added - multiple answers allowed.






Obama just drew another couple of lines today.



“A whole bunch,” meet “systematic

“the systematic use” of chemical weapons against Syrian rebels would trigger a forceful American response.

Back in August, Obama bluntly warned Assad’s regime that while he had not “at this point” ordered an American military response to Syria's civil war, “a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized."

Obongo made a stupid statement that is now going to show how powerless we are before people who mean us harm.

Never make threats you are not prepared to back up.

I voted do nothing and full scale invasion.

I am a pretty firm believer that we should stay the fuck out of everyone's business, we are not the police of the world.

However if we are going to get involved it should be all out. Glass the whole damned middle east and get it the fuck over with.

I am sick of half assed military actions not approved by congress either declare war on something and fucking annihilate it or leave it the hell alone. Of course we do have some assets that should be protected in foreign nations but that's not the point.

Is is still too late to unchain one on Tora Bora, some clear moonless night.  How about in the Persian Gulf or Arabian Sea? And just for good effect light one off in the Haesu or Wonsan harbors simultaneously to the split second.  We need some good TEOTWAWKI drills.

I am tired of supporting the Muzzloid Brotherhood, Hezboolah, PLO, Mujahadeen, Islamofascists, Janet Napolitano, and Al Qaeda.  The U.S. should give it a rest.

Let Assad gas the fuck out of whom ever he wants in Syria.

Saddam did.

The "world" did nothing when he started murdering  entire Kurdish villages. No one stepped in to stop the aggressions. The "world" didn't give a damn what Saddam was doing until he overstepped his ego and laid claim to a major portion of the worlds oil deposits and started laying waste to a world banking center.

And now we're supposed to get upset about WMD's being used in a Syrian civil war?

Assad has a long way to go before he warrants the "worlds" concern and intervention. We have learned, despite some appearances and liberal whining.

It should be a century or more before we set foot on that road again.

No good answer.  Getting involved in yet another mid-eastern war is not something we need to be doing.  In Syria it's not entirely clear who the good guys are or even who is calling the shots.  Assad or perhaps one of Assad's crew called our bluff.  And I suspect it was a bluff all along.


You're wrong.  There IS a good answer and it's to stay the fuck away- as most of your post illustrates.  We've already gone too far by making a statement we weren't ready to back up, but not reason to compound that mistake with a bigger one.

Because they know Obama's not going to react.
