Am I allowed to blow up his house now seeing as he gassed them?

Did you draw red red line in the sand or some other colo(u)r.

If you blow their house up, you must wear a blue helmet.

Not surprising at all but as Sky also states....confirmation is needed.

While Syria calls it a "victory over the US", Obama said that the Syrian deal would hold a lesson for Iran.

A lesson for Iran...

Hm.

A lesson for Iran....

A lesson for Iran...

Unbelievable how disconnected from reality this man is.

National Review Online had a more precise term for it in their latest headline on the matter: they labelled it "Ineffectualism".

This is what he is being quoted as saying.

"What the Iranians understand is that the nuclear issue is far larger for us than the chemical weapons issue".

Followed by this

" On the other hand, what they should draw from this lesson is that there is the potential of resolving these issues diplomatically.“

One step implying strength, and immediately weakening it again. This self-contradictory behavior we see all the time by him over this issue. The message is clear: indifference, weakness, undetermination.

Something that nags me about all these revolutions in the ME, is the transition from stable predictable governments, to Muslim Brotherhood types who breed attacks on western nations. By stable I mean, we know how they will behave. We know they mean no malice towards the west, at least not on a government sponsored level.

I understand, Assad is a piece of feces, but I also believe in the old adage "be careful what you wish for"

Assad is a sack of pig guts. But what will replace him, I am willing to bet this will backfire on the US, especially with Putins interest. I never seen him as a friend of ours. His (Putin) activity is to preserve his middle eastern Hedgemony.

*piggyback post*


Maybe he could have presented an example on why he feels how he does.

Then he would be debated, and not mocked.


Not judging, I kinda glossed over his post myself. I just wish he gave reasons why the BBC is how he says it is, rather than this Alex Jones conspiracy like crap, where you state it vaguely.

Open forum, Tell us why the BBC is how you think it is?

I seriously wanna hear, open minded, no ridicule.

I am American, we got even worse news Media, I always thought the BBC more full of integrity.

True. one could ask him to explain his outrage against BBC. If he has any proof of his allegation.

However it is a very good reason to why I just ignore such a post. But I do not muck a person just because of his or her conspiracy-belief. I try really not to.

It isn't his words or his opinion that get him mocked. It's the fact that he never debates or discusses anything. He says something like his above post, then runs away and hides. His idea of "debate" has so far consisted of posting multiple links and then disappearing again. If you challenge him he'll just post more links. I have yet to see him contribute anything to a debate.

I apologize if that's rude, but I've tried to engage him in the past and his response was always exactly as I described it. I wish he would defend his statements, but he probably never will.
