Are you for or against intervening in Syria?

Actually, that last post was more of a rant than anything else. I guess I am just somewhat satisfied that cooler heads have prevailed in the UK. However, it is a still largely a police state and this isn't enough considering all the other Big Brother horror they are up to. Obama is still a twat and he looks like one. Either he bombs Syria and the world looks at him like a clueless muppet. Or else he doesn't and he loses face like a clueless muppet. Either way, I think he is displaying all the characteristics of someone with a sociopathic disposition and needs to be taken away for his own sake.

Who needs to take the meds now, Rhun? I am not the man advocating the bombing of people in an effort to show that my balls dangle further than all others in a region that doesn't like my balls.

It would not matter who the President is and that's part of the problem or which side of the floor the Prime Minister of England is from. We in the west will sit on our collective hands while 200 thousand people are killed and then take a moral stand when a few hundred are killed in the same country by chemicals. Its certifiable.

it's a civil war it has 0 impact on US foreign interests. Yeah it sucks that people are dying but it IS war. And this whole idea that the US has to put the lives of their soldiers on the line for humanitarian work is bullshit!

I love how the Peace-nicks are now banging the drums of war just because someone used chemical weapons. Blame Russia and China for not controlling their guy

Not that America controls its chemical weapons merchants either. After all Saddam used them and America who loved the man at the time turned a blind eye. And still it isn't proven that Assad used them. Only the rebels have been shown to use them thus far.

The face palm does not improve the pretzel logic you just used or help in labeling me a peace nick. Stay the fuck out of other peoples business and acting like some neighbour hood bully who lost his ritalin. You dont even know who the fucking enemy is.

Pretzel logic? And hell I want my country to stay out of Syria, it's a clusterfuck over there.

How's about this choice for you Assad or Terrorists....pick who you support because those are the choices here. There's no 3rd party of peace and democracy loving people.

Also I fail to see how lobbing bombs into a country in the midst of a civil war will help solve an problems.


Please explain your reasoning to me, why should we get involved in this civil war? Assad may have used chemical weapons but hell the rebels allegedly used chemical weapons too. So again why do we need to get involved?

[Gandalf]

IamInuit is just pointing out the lunatic character of our political systems and to me seems to be arguing a similar point to Robert Fisk. We had the chance to intervene when it mattered and a hundred thousand dead later are making up nonsense to not help people but just show we are strong. It is deranged, we have never cared about people. We don't now either and IamInuit is just saying the West is being off its rocker. Lyle, you agree with that.

Is there Oil there ??.

Not enough to make it a consideration in whether we get involved or not. If there was a lot of oil there we'd have been stuck in ages ago.

The Syrian war is just getting started. It could easily last another decade. And the west getting involved isn't going to help things any. Hopefully they just fire a few missiles and then let the Syrians get on with it.

And there's zero chance of any wider conflict developing (except into Lebanon, Iraq and so on.) We heard the same nonsense about Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, you name it. Hopefully even the Americans and Brits won't be dumb enough to put boots on the ground there, certainly nobody else is.

Oil is their main export but go on, you were saying?

Also it seems that YOUR President will be using force without Congress having had a vote to allow that.....but hell what do I know? You were on the whole "Hope & Change" bandwagon perhaps you can explain which part of that, attacking Syria without a Congressional vote authorizing force or UN support is....Hope or Change

Oil is the main export of every Arab country that has any, even countries that have very little like Syria. They don't do a lot of manufacturing or exporting of anything else. Saudi Arabia's second-biggest export is second hand clothes.

Obama is your president, not mine and this is just the latest in a long line of illegal actions by American presidents.

Are you senile then?



Again YOU said Obama was better than Romney now don't you feel like a stupid cunt?

Your obsession with powerful black men is something to see. No matter what the subjext is you turn every thread into an examination of your current love interest.
