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

why dont we just see what will happen this time rather than this proactive happy horse shit nation building crap meddling all around the planet. Is this another one of those "lets get them before they get us" genius type thinking?

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.

And where is Saddam now princess?

Assad and the rebels are equally vile...I wouldn't support either group.

Well, it took lies of considerable proportion to make an excuse to topple Saddam. A similar thing is quite possibly the deal here, though we have never been that close to Assad.

In terms of sides, I agree. They have both shown their colours. In the middle are swathes of people who just want to get on with lives, but won't for a long time. It isn't our fight though, the rhetoric of the politicians gives little concern regarding the people of Syria. It is all about brownie points with America and showing strength to Iran.

So it was a good idea to invade Iraq?

[El Kabong]

So it was a good idea to invade Iraq?

I've gone over this like a thousand times you thick bastard. The invasion of Iraq was due to the fact we did not oust him during the Persian Gulf War. Invading Iraq was correcting a mistake which was made ever more difficult by the mistake of disbanding their entire military which was stupid.

Also again you bring up race when I have said 0 about race. I disagree with the current President on POLICY....read that you dumb cunt...POLICY not on skin color. Bring it up again shithead and we'll see where this goes

There are more fragmented extremist groups fighting this "revolution" then unpopped kernels in a bag of popcorn.

Many of them probably knew the guys that flew some planes into a couple of towers a few years back. And many others that share their view.

Like I said, certifiable.

I have no idea why a couple of people here are acting as if you want your countrymen to go into this new arena? I can read clearly here that you are on the NO WAY DONT GO IN .
Team.
They are siding you with your country leaders wishes,which is not the case never has been.

Calm down, double cousin. If you want to say that you're not obsessed with Obama or exercised and enervated by racial issues in general then I'm fine with that.

And it seems you do think invading Iraq was a good idea!

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.

[IamInuit]

If its shaped like a pretzel and lays flat on a plate like a pretzel and tastes like a pretzel its a pretzel.

Like I said the facts are in and they speak for themselves.

Let the Arab league deal with it and get out of the world policing business. It would be different if you were in anyway consistent. The only time you do anything is when you have no shot at losing. The fact that you want to go bomb a country already in ruins, killing hundreds if not thousands of innocent people
because "somebody" used gas killing innocent people is fucking insane and its that black and white.Its the same pretzel used for Afghanistan.
