A Case for Not Bombing Syria

Now that the President did the right thing and is going to wait for Congress, it took Fox two seconds to spin this against the President. Hannity must be pissed he isn't on today to turn it on him! If the President would have went it alone, Fox and Hannity would have been all over Obama. Now they have to figure out another way to attack. I never trust anyone who cant say one good thing about the other side whether they are on the right or left. Ever notice when O'Reilly says the spin stops here? Thats because he knows the Dickhead Hannity follows him!

Im no fan of Fox, but it doesn't take a lot of spin to make the administration's handling of Syria look bad. Its been dreadful.

our foreign policy moves have been godawful for years now. but yes, it seems that lately it's a headless snake, thrashing about aimlessly.

and we are paying dearly for the debacle known as iraq. we need a doctrine for the middle east. right now it's whack a mole.

i'm serious. we stand here with a big mallet and try to take care of things as they pop up. not a great strategy at all. we've become a huge international player, but with no game plan. what is our goal?

i think the president has an opportunity to get things straight. i think he should formulate a middle east doctrine, and take it to the un, and explain what we see as how things should be. that the goal is peace, freedom and prosperity. that we will not involve ourselves in conflicts such as syria, but that these certain weapons must never be used, and that the international community must be willing to back international law, else those laws mean nothing. we must weigh evidence, and must act.
the un security council must change. it should be a majority vote. we also need to call out ALL illegal goings on, right israel?

Here's a good Q @ A on Syria..

Syria: Questions about a chaotic, tormented land.

Quote:

But there are protests in lots of places. How did it all go so wrong in Syria?

There’s no single answer. Journalist Fareed Zakaria argues that what we’re seeing is in some ways the inevitable re-balancing of power along ethnic and religious lines. He compares it to the sectarian bloodbath in Iraq after the United States toppled Saddam Hussein, after which a long-oppressed majority retook power from, and violently punished, the former minority rulers.

And here's a rebel soldier, the side we would help by bombing Assad, point of view.

Quote:

His father accepts Mohammed’s front-line role. “I put my trust in God,” he said.

But there’s a rub. Young Mohammed admires another local rebel group, the militant Islamist Jabhat al-Nusra, which is affiliated with al Qaeda.

“They know Islam and Sharia,” he said. “They know what it means to be a Muslim.”

A father who is proud of an 11-year old for killing, while putting his trust in God, is fubared.

Sharia law whether consensual or forced should not be tolerated and should be contained and extracted similar to how the world treats an oil spill or nuclear meltdown.
