Thread: Here we go again USA vs Syria

Actually Chukka, I agree with you this time!
We should just embargo and stop all travel to/from - virtually isolate the state of Syria and let them have at it!
I am sure that the good folk of Syria would prefer to sort out their own country, free from meddling nations. They will eventually sort it out and re-join the world.

Ralph, if one day I manage to cool down my blood before I hit the keyboard we will agree in 90% and the other 10% will be because my spanglish

I do not know if I am sarcastic but it come to my attention that just when we are going to finish the conflict in the other patch and the soldiers will come back home these bastards (AKA politicians) are looking for a way to maintain occupied their soldiers and feed some money to the arm dealers.

The syrian revolution was conceived and has since been sponsored, armed and guided by foreign operatives.

Once the country has been sufficiently weakened, the operatives will trigger a red line clause that paves the way for the USA to save the day.

Have a nice day.

Could not agree more manic. The Yanks go back over a hundred years when it comes to manipulating the situation in foreign country's. Syria needs to be weakened a fair bit more militarily though before it would be a walk over.

An excuse to maintain an American army in the oil fields.

Assad is the best of a bad bunch. With whom would you replace him? He is educated, (an engineer), western orientated, against Islamic fundamentalism, recognises and protects his Christian minority whose women are not required to wear the tent or bag over their heads. Over 1,000,000 Syrian Christians have fled into Lebanon from rebel held areas.

Ophthalmologist actually, but who's counting.

If use of chemical weapons is said to be a red line then why would govt. forces use them on opposition forces when UN inspectors are in town and just down the road?

Chemical weapons probably have been used in this case but by which side and for what reasons. As always in these dirty games the truth is not easy to get at.

Best to stay on sidelines on this one.

Horrific images were taken this week of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria. Rows of bodies, including many children, fill rooms and streets in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, and Syrian activists are reporting hundreds of people killed. The Syrian government denies the use of chemical weapons, and an investigation continues. The civil war persists as forces continued fighting and droves fled the country.
