Is the US supporting the bad guy?

If we are supporting the bad guy, then it wouldn't be the first time.

Personally I question who's good, who's bad, by who's standards do we use to make that determination, and what makes those standards any more credible then the others.

edit: How I do like to toss that thought out every now and then.

Well I'd wager some of those "freedom fighters" coming against the Russian, Iranian backed Assad regime. Are supported by U.S., Euro allies in the name of freedom and democracy just like in Libyia, and Afganistan. In fact I'd bet these freedom fighters were just yesterday called terrorists.

The guy seems to represent Hezbollah/Iranian stance on Syria(wearing suit lol).
Not that there is no truth in what he says....
Its a confusing situation

I'm not ready to pull out the jump to conclusions mat

Just as well as you havn't walked the walk as a suit wearing Lebanese political analyst

with unsubstantiated and unproven credibility

Did you call it unsubstantiated or question his credibility when Voice Of America broadcasts his pieces?

broadcasted by some foreign noname news source.

Errrr....it is Russia Today which is a well known named newssource which some would say fulfills the same role as Voice of America.


But in essence it is a piece carried by a pro Putin media outlet by a "think tank" which has a history of being pro Iran and pro Syria.

We all know a few concessions are all you need for foreign support

The United States is always supporting the bad guys
The United States is always supporting the good guys

All depends on your perspective.

The up side to the USA going broke, would be that it might be the last time.

Yet neither statement can be true.

I disagree, Both are often true as it seems like the US is always spending money supporting someone!

at least he doesn't blame the Jews....pewww

But he does, he blames the Jewish extremists and the Muslim extremists
Its a bit dated now though him talking about taking two loonies like sharon and yasser throwing them in a padded cell to give the people a break.

I disagree, Both are often true

Often isn't always
