StPaulHusker Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Any U.S. direct military involvement Syria could precipitate a much larger war. Syria has long been a puppet of both Russia and Iran. Removing Syrian the government with American boots on the ground will lead to destabilization of the region. Let's keep the troops home and just drop bombs. Link to comment

walksalone Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just when you thought things couldn't get more convoluted and messy... Turkey accused a group with links to Syrian intelligence of carrying out car bombings that killed 46 people in a Turkish border town http://news.yahoo.com/bombings-turkey-says-world-must-act-against-syria-053811707.html Link to comment

I just don't trust anyone but the US to handle the situation. Link to comment

It's not that I don't trust anyone but us to handle the situation, I don't care... If they wiped each other off of the face of the earth, it'd be the best thing... Link to comment

walksalone Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Big surprise here... The U.S.-Russian initiative so far appears only to have intensified the violence, especially around Qusair and Damascus. http://news.yahoo.com/syria-fighting-rages-amid-reports-chemical-attacks-105151844.html Link to comment
walksalone Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Leaders of Syria's opposition forces got a chance to make their case for increased U.S. support directly with Sen. John McCain when he slipped into that country for a surprise visit. http://news.yahoo.com/mccain-makes-surprise-trip-visit-syrian-rebels-060216353.html Link to comment
walksalone Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Why am I not surprised... Syrian President Bashar Assad said the regime has received the first shipment of sophisticated Russian anti-aircraft missiles, and the main Western-backed opposition group announced Thursday that it will not participate in peace talks — a double blow to international efforts to end the country's devastating civil war. http://news.yahoo.com/syrian-regime-says-russian-missiles-131926393.html Link to comment
carlfense Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The photo, released by McCain’s office, shows McCain with a group of rebels. Among them are two men identified in the Lebanese press as Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim, two of the kidnappers of the group from Lebanon. http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/mccain-didnt-realize-he-was-posing-with-rebel-kidnapper?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Fine work, Sen. McCain. Fine work. When Cooper asked McCain how weapons would be prevented from falling into the hands of extremists, the senator said extremist fighters compose a small fraction of Syria's rebel forces: 7,000 pro-al Qaeda fighters from the al-Nusra front among some 100,000 insurgents. "Every single day, more and more extremists flow in … but they still do not make up a sizable portion," McCain told Cooper. "We can identify who these people are. We can help the right people." http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/mccain-we-can-help-right-people-in-syria Thank goodness we have Barack Obama in the White House and not John McCain. 2 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't like US being involved in either situation. But, what is different between what McCain is proposing and what Obama did with Libya? Link to comment
