The French will be there soon. They are short on supplies. They have an order in for 20K white sheets and 80K wooden sticks and are waiting their arrival.

How are they going to get there? Last I looked their Navy was lying on the bottom of the Ocean. :lol:

Syrian government forces pressed on with a military offensive in eastern Damascus on Thursday, bombing rebel-held suburbs where the opposition said the regime had killed over 100 people the day before in a chemical weapons attack.

The government has denied allegations it used chemical weapons in artillery barrages on the area known as eastern Ghouta on Wednesday as "absolutely baseless."

The United States, Britain and France have demanded that a team of U.N. experts already in Syria be granted immediate access to investigate the site.

Syrian opposition figures and activists have reported widely varying death tolls from Wednesday's attack, from 136 to as high as 1,300. But even the most conservative tally would make it the deadliest alleged chemical attack in Syria's civil war.....snip~

Syrian forces bomb area of alleged chemical attack



Sounds like the UK France and us.....are just all miffed cuz we all backed the hapless MB, and Sunni Rebels. Even not caring who gets weapons anymore. Notice that none are crying about how many the Syrian Rebels have killed. No one said anything other than the Red Cross when the Rebels used Children and School buses to launch an attack.

Do you hear any on Team Obama saying anything about the Syrian Rebels massacring Christians and burning them out of their homes inside Syria? Ever hear the MSM give the Number of dead killed by the Syrian Rebels? Rather than just blaming Assad.

Always Syria over 100k massacred and its all Assad's fault.

Yet like the Egyptian military now......Assad says he has been fighting terrorists. Which now we know to be true with the MB and AQ in there fighting with and against the FSA. Then the Al Shariah group Al Nusra. Even the Syrian Kurds have come out fighting against the Syrian Rebels. Christians too.

So whaddya do.....when ones face is stuck in the Poo.

And they are the next Greece.

I'll see you're Brigitte Bardot, and raise you one Meagan Fox.
 
Should we go into Syria

That is what the capitalist Noise Machine is clearly working on. What benefit would it bring YOU, I wonder.

I dunno, KK.
Megan looks somewhat used up these days.
Plus, I've heard she can be a little....."difficult".
I'm all in with Marisa Miller.

None for the US.....as we wouldn't gain any treasure. Nor even that very precious land.
 
We would and then some if we would get back to raping foreign lands of their national resources.
---------------

Nah.....that doesn't work anymore.
Occupation costs are higher than the resources would justify.
Plus, you have to deal with the lawyers, EPA and assorted anti-imperialist/equal rights malcontents.
Pillaging and raping isn't the cash-cow it used to be.

Dang.
Well played, my friend.
I wonder if this place has those 99 cent gamblers-special breakfasts?
Maybe that drunk guy will loan me $5 to get back in the game.
 
So leave it be.

That's what I say.....although Assad should have told us. Here you put your people around the Chems with the Russians to make sure no Chemicals are being used. Then I will still go out and kick the **** out of those Sunni Rebels you are backing. Just to cause ya some more money.
 
Actually we should be very vocal about the problem and then say, so "EU...HANDLE IT!" "China...HANDLE IT!" "Russia...HANDLE IT!" "United Nations...well...no..thats just funny right there...never mind...you guys go sit back down."
 
We can all cite polls, I suspect:

Under Obama, Egyptians

If you think Obama is well liked in the middle east, good for you - delusion can be comforting for some.
Did you even read your own link? The polls are showing confidence in Bush at 8%... meanwhile Obama is sitting at 26%... Selective reading....

"“No single speech,” Obama noted in his Cairo address, “can eradicate years of mistrust.” The ensuing four years would show just how deep that mistrust runs, and just how steep a climb the U.S. faces in turning around its image in Egypt and many other parts of the Muslim world."

Years of mistrust we sewed in the middle east by appointing dictators for 40 yrs. I don't blame them.
 
Well Obama's red line has been crossed and we went into Libya for far less so what do you think? "Residents of Damascus suburbs recount massive assault by Assad army; videos show small children convulsing on the floor, foaming at the nose and mouth. Doctor: Injuries correspond with sarin gas "
"The men, women and children lying undisturbed in their beds had looked so peaceful they might have been just sleeping, Abu Nidal thought, as he and other rescuers dragged their bodies into the street."

"His was one of many accounts of a massive assault on the eastern suburbs of Damascus that activists say killed more than 500 people on Wednesday morning. They say some of the bombs were loaded with chemical agent, which would make it the worst chemical attack since the conflict began"

As always when people suggest military intervention in the internal affairs of another nation I respond with....NO! No, no, no, no, a thousand times NO!!!

We are not the World's Policeman, nor should we try to be.
 
They hate us there and we buy their friendship....No way should we intervene there.

And, naturally, Assad, having allowed inspectors in, immediately started a chemical attack to help their work! Oh why don't we have the simple faith of all the other mugs? The one certain thing is that any intervention by 'the West' (the US and its colonies) is guaranteed to make any situation immeasurably worse.

Why not just do what we did with Libya? That's about the extent I would wish to get involved in this mess.
 
I wouldn't say we should stay far from it - I maintain that we can help provide security at the borders of our allies,

Right..we can't/won't secure our OWN borders but we need to go halfway around the world to secure a foreign country's borders...great idea...

and then, unbelievably, there's THIS;

Obama administration and Mexican government officials recently discussed creating a three-tier security system designed to protect Mexico’s southern border from drug and human traffickers, according to U.S. officials.

The border control plan calls for U.S. funding and technical support of three security lines extending more than 100 miles north of Mexico’s border with Guatemala and Belize. The border security system would use sensors and intelligence-gathering to counter human trafficking and drug running from the region, a major source of illegal immigration into the United States.


Obama Administration Considers Plan to Bolster Mexico

we truly are an idiocracy/ineptocracy

Mornin Penderyn. :2wave: Well.....Team Obama is moving some of our Naval Ships a bit closer. I put up a thread on it in General Political Discussions. Making sure we have a Tomahawk to throw if necessary.
 
Libya has turned out great huh.:roll: Besides which Syria is such a mess now there are no good guys to support.

Good Lord! Stuff like this takes time. I suppose you expect a country like that to be at war one day, and a perfectly functional country the next? That's kind of retarded Sawyer.
