You can say that but you don't decide. It's 100% out of your hands.

Apparently we aren't allowed to have an opinion on anything that's out of our hands?

Sure you can.

Hello:

I'm all for PUNISHING Assad. I'm a Jew. I HATE that mf'er. I'm all for teaching him, AND the world that we won't stand for the use of WMD's.

I WOULD be for that stuff, if I thought it would work. If I thought we could DO that by lobbing a few bombs at him, then that's what we should do.

But, it won't, and we won't go all in. You can't tippy toe into war. We tried that. It doesn't work.

Besides, if Al Quada HAVE taken over the rebels, then our enemy is killing our OTHER enemy. What's wrong with that? Oh, yeah.. There's PLENTY wrong with it in the long run, but we should let things shake out a little.

It isn't even clear that Assad was the one who did the chemical attack.

If he does as he has threatened and launches an attack in Isreal... then I'm all for blowing him and that cesspool into the stone ages.

Because Israel has played NO part in this so far.

No and no again. This has all the smell of a false flag .

The rebels gassed themselves for a photo op to make people mad at Assad?

Exactly how many factions are going on in that country? Can anyone list them? I've heard seven or so, most at odds with each other.

smoothy · Aug 28, 2013, 03:28 PM

I still believe this is another distraction.. to divert attention away from the growing Benghazi investigation...

Who gives a hoot what Syria does inside Syria... what interests do we actually have there anyway? If they all killed each other the world would be a little better in the morning.

Particularly wasn't it the Obama supporters arguing we aren't the Worlds police force for say... the entire 8 years of Bushes Administration...

Oh I'm sure no rebels were gassed. But they did make sure they got a video of all the children.

I assume you don't know many middle eastern women... they are a bitter bunch being forced to live under Sharia Law... you shove anything at them at your own peril.

Actually, I do. Library volunteers and patrons, and an Egyptian woman and friend on FB (had been on askme.com and AW) who lives in Cairo. I do get around. :)

Where did this idea that women don't fight when the chips are down come from, oh I know in that place where women sit back and sip their latte's in smart cafe's and gossip about other women. Mustn't chip a nail you know, it would be a disaster of WWIII proportions
