Re: "The U.S. Should Act"

I know it's a dirty job but can this sh*t just be allowed to continue? I think the U.N. should have a dedicated force for the sole purpose of cleaning up this kind of sh*t.

There won't be many soldiers riding tomahawk missiles.

Quite probably a 'rented uniform':lol:

The best you can do in Syria is replace 'Assad bad baahtish ' with less bad Baathist guy. Syria has some heavy sour crude, modest exports. Jordan has , possibly, extensive deposits of tight oil. As long as world prices remain high.

All the fiery rhetoric won't bring the dead back to life. No need for 'immediate strikes'.

No, its a jug f_ck. Sorry about the dead, but until there is a grateful honest ally in the Mid-East I'd say it's time to let them overthrow their own dictators.

We're the people murdered by Hussein dishonest. If we are to learn anything from Iraq or Afghanistan it is to let these ungrateful bastards sort out their own problems. Let France or Germany take care of it.

Doctors Without Borders claim 355 deaths. How many deaths would there be after a retaliatory strike. Let's see... there are 7 billion of us...

JLM the Middle East needs a great big injection of education so that it can crawl out of the dark ages. I have had a son and a nephew both serve in Afghanistan. My nephew watched his friend get vaporized by an IED and for what? So that the sitting President could stab the Nato Forces in the back. Until these folks sheath the knives they use to stab us in the back, I say we step off.

They need jobs over there. They had a huge population boom and now there are a whole whack of 20 somethings with SFA to do and they blame us but at the same time want to be like us.

Re: "The U.S. Should Act"

Will John Kerry Please STFU



He says the President doesn't need to listen to congress!

We have proof!

Where have we have heard all this before oh right.


I suppose once again he is going to run for President in 2016 and is just getting the press clippings in order to show
how strong he is on defense.

Or is calling for bombing sexier and makes for better soundbites for a future political campaign?


Rather than lauding Presidential power to bomb who the **** he likes how about helping those who need help now?


Syria Crisis - One million refugee children - Donate to UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency




But at least one US Politician has his head screwed on right.......
