I agree, when your enemies are fighting each other, it's a win win. We can deal with the winner later if needed.

The bigger concern is Iran, but I suspect they'll have a nuke before long.

*thunderous applause*

It really is someone elses turn.

Well there was the UK intervention in Sierra Leone.

The French in Mali.

The French and the UK pushing for Libya before the US was convinced.

Irish troops among other countries now in Syria.

Talk of "turns" isn't really accurate.

Awesome, now spare me another funeral at Arlington.

The folded up flag was cute, but considering me and my family got nothing while oil barons and politicians got everything in Iraq and Afghanistan...

It is clearly some one elses turn, you want peace, why should the country farthest away from all the allies shoulder the whole load, oh I know why...

UN Free loaders.

Anyone but the French can defend themselves now. (good job in Libya France)

Nobody is talking about peace. An end to the conflict in Syria was never seen as a reasonable goal, or even relevant.

That this still has to be stated beggars belief.

I understand that the US is weary of war and overseas misadventure. But this is not like Iraq or Afghanistan.

With all due respect I am war weary.

My brother died to protect (so called) people that hated him outright.

They made no qualms about expressing it, maybe one day I can write a book with my dead brothers thoughts , based on his letters he believed in this country.

His memory is being erased, no one cares anymore, just how many boys we can kill next so we can say we kicked someones ass.

Enlist or shut up, about what should be done....

Tchocky · 09-11-13, 05:11 PM

I'm sorry for your loss, soopaman.

soopaman2 · 09-11-13, 05:23 PM

I did not say that for pity, it is just so easy for many to call for war. When they got nothing on the fight.

War hurts real people. It is seen as a driver of industry, and a good thing for many, but I only stated what I did to point out that rich mens wars only hurt the poor.

Bring back the draft, no college exemptions like Vietnam, let the richies die like the proles, see how war happy we are then.

All for one and one for all...LOL yeah right.

Tchocky · 09-11-13, 05:26 PM

Yeah, I know you didn't say it for that reason.

What I'm saying is - "war" in the sense of boots-on-the-ground invasive land conflict isn't what's being proposed here. Hasn't been from the start.

I simply wonder why America should save them, they hate us, we are infidels.

Let them stone each other to death, and if Isreal has a problem, let them handle it, they got USA gear, and 100 times the balls for warring as we do at this point.

After all this is all about Israel.

Tchocky · 09-11-13, 05:41 PM

Whuh? All Syrians hate Americans. Well that's alright then.

eddie · 09-11-13, 06:23 PM

I think they hate war more then anything else.

My proposal, leave them be. I do not want to "rebuild them" after we butcher them. Screw them, but it is about Israel, elephant in the room. Why do we care about despots in ass backwards countries?

Meanwhile, Putin strikes again! Masterful PR! Brilliant! I may even vote for him.
