Some member claimed Al N is 6%. I don't remember who, pretty much a random person, but it's good enough to counter total idiocy.
You got a number?
U.S. to increase military support to Syria rebels | Reuters
Just announced. The US has confirmed it has undeniable proof that Assad in fact used chemical weapons against his own people and, as a result, the US will begin supplying lethal military aid to the rebels for the first time since the war began 2 years ago.
About damn time.
No we dont and you've made my point for me, both sides are bad actors and the best thing would be for us to stay out. Let the Saudis & Turks supply them. The thought of our own weapons ending up in Al Qaeda hands to someday possibly be used against the American or even Israeli people is unacceptable and if it ever did happen they're blood would be on Obamas hands the same way its on his hands for Fast & Furious scandal.Do we need more of this: Al-Qubeir massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?
I've got some questions for the "rebel" supporters here;
A. What is the name of the moderate or/and secular group that you want to support?
B. How much support this group has among the overall Syrian population?
C. Let's say this group "wins" and they manage to establish "democratic" elections in Syria, who do you think would win in these elections?
D. How you are proposing to control the arms distribution (destination) after they would be given to the field commanders on the ground?
Cheers,

I bet you think it's gonna be WW3. The Russians will get the Chinese and then Iran will nuke us.
No, dude, we're gonna tear the **** out of that scumbag regime and Putin can suck a dick.
I think Barack is lying through his teeth.
Assad has turned it around - to some extent.
And as long as he doesn't use chemical weapons, America will stay away.
So, he decides to use chemical weapons on such a small scale as to be virtually useless strategically...but just enough so that America has the excuse it needs to start arming his enemies?
I HIGHLY doubt it.
Where is this evidence Barack - you incompetent, macroeconomic imbecilic, totally untrustworthy, Constitution ignoring, control freak?
I bet he has nothing.
He is just desperate to turn the media away from his pathetic presidency.
Impeach this dickhead.
Don't have enough evidence?
Then tap his phone line and get it.

I have to question why on earth we should sit back and let thousands of people be killed by their own government, which evidently has used chemical weapons against them.
There remains no concrete indication that a successor regime in Syria would be more hospitable to U.S. interests, more willing to seek peace with Israel, or that it would exclude the extreme elements that are an integral part of its coalition.

I take it you had no problem with the Iraq war.
You think I'm okay with what happened then?
Removing Saddam Hussein from power was a great thing.
But, what gives us the the authority to become involved in what is a Civil War?

There are more, but, hopefully you get the idea. BTW: Hussein used chemical weapons against his countrymen. I take it you had no problem with the Iraq war.
The authority? Not sure it has to do with authority, just seeing where tragedy has unfolded and having the humane responsibility to respond.
I appreciate your position. But, what gives us the the authority to become involved in what is a Civil War? Again, Vietnam should have answered that once and for all.
So you are of the opinion that we should police the world?
I have problems with us sending Americans soldiers into Iraq, not supporting rebels who opposed Saddam. The Russians and Iranians are sending arms to Assad, we need to counter that.
So you are of the opinion that we should police the world?
Yes indeed. It worked out really well in Vietnam didn't it? Would you send grunts into Syria?
