I didn't even notice the video there, I just read the article. Makes more sense to me than anything else I've heard or read.

For me, just because I disagree with someone about some things, doesn't mean that I won't agree with him on others. Therefore, I wouldn't write that person off.

I agree with the text that I read, my thoughts exactly, not that my thoughts went that deep. As I said in another thread, why do we need their oil when we have plenty of our own?

Joyfullee Loc: South FL

Simply put, what I understand is that Russia, at the present time, has a monopoly on the Syrian oil and that the US wants their piece of that particular pie.

Just talk and supply Syria with advanced weaponry. You know the old proxy war thing, maybe help them hit Israel, maybe help Iran make mischief in the Suez...

The whole friggin thing is stupid, and it all stems from Obama talking crap! He talked so big, yet when the time comes he shows us his raisins.

i think he thought he could get a coalition. but we know about that so far.

I think Israel is capable of cleaning them all out which they might be pushed into doing.

As the Syrians and other radical Islamists become more and more adept at killing one another, the U.S. should simply stand back and provide an appreciative audience. When their population is down to one or two thousand we could go in and sell balloons and cotton candy.

Typical capitalistic motivation. I say 5 to 6 thousand. Triple the sales. :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The same reason why no other President has bombed Iran.

Why does the USA and the UK want to go to war with Syria or any other country when they have not lifted a finger against them.
why don't they just keep their nose out of other country's problems, and look after their own.

The only way to solve what we perceive as a problem is to leave it up to the Arab League. Westerners cannot THINK like Middle Easterners and that's the real problem.

Ron K. Loc: Upstate NY.

Because Iran has the capacity to fight back - Syria really doesn't.

It's time we stopped being the Policemen for the whole world. It's also time we became more insular and began using our tax dollars and other assets to correct problems here at home.

dirtpusher Loc: tulsa oklahoma

Arab League is taking care of this, they usin us. lol

As our country goes broke, as the prospect for good paying jobs here becomes dimmer and dimmer, our government still thinks that it can be the world's police force. Does anyone else see the folly in the thinking process of our politicians? Can we not see the bubble that they live in? Each one of those missiles that the president wants to rain on Syria costs over a million dollars, yet he will let them rain and for what? A shot over the bow? BS, they live in an alternate universe, we have been sending billions in aid to the middle east, we have given Egypt over 200 F16 fighters and over 1000 tanks, maybe it is time that we demand that they use them to effect our goals in the region.

The FED is talking about shutting down their printing press, so we can expect the interest on debt to increase over the next few years from $250 billion to over $800 billion each year, where does that money come from? Do we just run larger deficits to cover what will become the largest line on the federal budget as would an irresponsible family who has no financial plan only compounding their problems, or do we finally learn to make our government more accountable. How much more of DC's BS can our democracy afford?
