Really?

[Boltlady]

This is who you plan to give money and arms to and are circling the wagons to protect? This is who you want to govern Syria?

The whole idea of wanting to protect the innocent Syrian citizens is nothing more than a baldfaced lie.

Nobody (aside from McCain and the usual gang of neo-cons) is proposing to "protect Syrian citizens", nor to become involved in their civil war.

The debate concerns whether to retaliate against Assad for his use of chemical weapons. The Syrian civil war is Syria's problem, so long as the Syrian government doesn't violate international prohibitions of the use of illegal weapons of war.

Anyone who desires to debate this issue should at least familiarize themselves with the actual facts, rather than simply repetitively posting rabid anti-American propaganda from conspiracy theorist web-sites and throwing out straw-man arguments in order to attack positions that the US government has not taken.

The actual facts are that there has been no proof whatsoever that Assad used chemical weapons on his own people. That relegates any debate to nothing more than arguing hypotheticals.

BTW, we've been told for 2 years now that the Syrian people need to be protected from their leader and that's why we need regime change. You must not have been listening.

...and my position would be, if assad violated international law, the international community must act - not just a few - this includes the arab league who endorse action yet fails to take any other than a lot of yammering - urging others to do something. Until the arab league nations and others step up to the plate - we stay out...

...chemical weapons are not like bullets, they need to be controlled and carefully managed. From what I have seen of the "militants" there is little or no way they could have pulled off an attack of that scale - that fact aside, I still believe if anyone takes action it should first be the arab league of nations, not the US.

I don't frequent your conspiracy theory websites. You've already exposed yourself for what you are.

,,,yes, yes they did. Now let's see them do something - they have lot's of weapons and lot's of US-trained troops - the fact is, they will do nothing and expect others to do their dirty work - screw them...
