Do you support the arming of Syrian 'rebels'?

[El Kabong]

It is not an obsession as it is a fact that your country goes after nations based upon lies

.....like the ones told to us by England to return the Shah to power in Iran?

[El Kabong]

Anyway....BACK ON TOPIC...no I would not like to see the United States arm the Syrian rebels as they are no friends of ours and never will be.

I am not defending Britain, Lyle. You know I am always reliable in placing Britain, Israel and America of the past 40 years quite firmly together.

On the whole I think ALL of us agree that arming the rebels is a poor idea. We are wandering off into tangential arguments as is our will, but we do seem to be on the same page on this.

What is the point of a poll ? Are you looking for a mandate or something?

More legal process than the Nazi types offered by Hague. Give at least a few people a few real views.

What is is it with you and lazily bandying about labels like 'Nazi' ? does Hague subscribe to Nationalsozialismus ? Do his views incorporate biological racism ? Are you a proper socialist Miles ? What do you think one should do when a dictator routinely shuts down opposing voices and murders his own civilians en masse ? Turn away? Your view like Chomsky on all these situations is to do nothing and then take the moral high ground while evil people commit genocide. Nothing is that simple.

In five or ten or twenty years arming them will come back to bite us in the arse and when it does all the clowns like McCain who are advocating arming them will say that nobody could have predicted that arming and training large numbers of jihadi nutcases in the 2010s would cause us problems down the road.

Hey, it worked so well in Afghanistan in the eighties. What could go wrong?

Gandalf the grey is always looking for a mandate.

I think the UN should go in and force the leaders to talk or threaten them with imprisonment. If that fails then take away the women, children and men who want to be away from this and let the rest kill themselves.

[El Kabong]

When most people hear the word "rebels" they think of the under dog freedom fighters but in this age of 24/7 media coverage and instant information you can find out who these people actually are and make a more informed decision on whether or not you wish to support their cause.


EXAMPLE


That "rebel" just cut open the chest of a Syrian soldier and ate his heart.....I'd rather NOT give that guy US weapons and funds, but hey maybe that's just me

El Kabong Putin agrees with you.

[El Kabong]

El Kabong Putin agrees with you.

Yes which should be alarming to consider that in this case I agree with Putin over Obama



Kirkland the Sunnis and the Shia are muslims, their main beef in the region besides that which they have against each other is that Israel is a nation and a nation they can't get at because #1 Israel is strong enough to defend itself as it has shown before and #2 Israel has powerful allies.


Also Kirkland you once again attempted to say "Israel" is the problem...If not partying when missiles are falling in your country constitutes a "problem". But hey you believe Israel is evil obviously my telling you otherwise won't stop you from being a jackass. There were no rantings in my previous post, just facts....facts that shot down your argument that the "Hezbos" exist because of Israeli oppression....they exist because they are hateful ignorant bastards...which answers why you side with them

[Kirkland Laing]

As usual, if you manage to come up with a factual/coherent post I'll reply to it.
