    I dnt give a fuck what part of NC you're from. Woods/coast who the fuck cares. You come on here throwing your weight around talking shit, pumping your boy "o-bamz" or whatever you call him. Like Jason P has stated, you have not been following this thread or news closely. Ya I visited syria 3 times and met some cool ass people. One of the people I met I was teaching him English. The guys dead now. Another friend I "had" who i watched soccer games with every night at the hookah lounge was driving to his parents house and was robbed and killed for NO FUCKEN REASON AT ALL. You say I'm sad, no, I'm pissed. You are the one that's sad. You know what I would do with syria? How about REALLY FUCKEN try diplomacy! How about "being neutral on a moving train." How about taking both sides to the table and TALK. But dropping fucken bombs on a country? For what? To show how big your dick is? Looks pretty small if you need that much force. Lets have another shock and awe

    yeah, sorry I didn't read the full 13 page thread before posting my comments on your scenario...and sorry about your friends...lash out how you wish, be all pissed at me if you want if that makes you feel better...I hope it does...but I stand by my all comments...

    what you see as "bumbling" I see as "thinking it through"...I really don't get it...O-bamz is not going to bomb Syria now and folks are still pissy and wanting to monday-morning-QB...

    the Big O played exactly like he should...he took his time...he sent his request to congress...and now the issue seems to have resolved...Hell, Russia is helping and not blocking...somehow, that's not good enough...

    I guess you'd be happier if Obama did not think it through...if he did not wait and send his request to congress...if he would have not "Bumbled and Stumpled" and simply bombed the shit out of Syria...I'm sure you would have supported that....

    and so the fuck what if Kerry's comment wasn't "planned" and that he may have been "off the cuff"...his comment was effective and it f-n worked...I guess a positive outcome is not good enough....

    By sending this request to congress, something weird happened...there was an healthy/robust/open debate about the merits of military intervention...that's a good thing...or at least I thought so...


    You have not been following this thread if that is what you gauge my opinions to be. I don't think you have been following the news on this crisis on a daily basis based on your comments.

    (and he has yet to send a resolution request to congress)

    yeah, yeah...follow the thread...

    (yes, he requested a delay)

    Well, he joing the KGB in 1975, left to join Yeltsin's staff in the 90's, was named President when Yeltsin resigned, has had a stranglehold on the USSR for the last 14 years while becoming one of the richest people in the world by sending his competition to prison and seizing their assets.

    He basically did Judo on the US Administration. He used Obama's weight and strength as weapons against him.

    The question is Can Putin Deliver.

    The issue of how the UN inspectors can do their job in Syria while a civil war is in progress has not been answered.

    The fact that the US is continuing to arm the various so-called Syrian rebels groups makes it even harder for the Syrian military to protect the UN inspectors.

    The US is stipulating that Syria will be held accountable to ensure the safety of the UN inspectors and to ensure they get access to the chemical depots.

    We took 10 years in Iraq and it is still a shithole just like Kuwait. Now the US is pressuring Russia and Syria to get their act together within a week.

    Here’s food for thought – if Assad really didn’t gas his own people, then someone’s plan to have the US bomb Syria and as collateral damage kill Assad failed. That group is still in Syria, so What’s next!!!!!

    Although the report isn't in yet, UN leader believes they have "overwhelming" evidence that the Syrian gov't used chemical weapons on its people.


    If so, Russia will have to admit their ally is a piece of shit and admit we were right? :roll:

    --Kerry, Rice, Clinton and McCain the rest of Congress and the media seem to be lying or in the dark about the
    so-called rebels ability to deliver chemical rockets.

    Syria's Rebels Gain Heavy Weapons
    Jeffrey White
    January 10, 2013

    ... REBEL HEAVY WEAPONS

    For much of the war, armed opposition elements had only limited numbers of heavy weapons, mostly 23 mm ZU-23 light antiaircraft guns and "Dushka" heavy antiaircraft machine guns. Over the past few months, however, their arsenal has expanded, with rebels seizing weapons and ammunition from regime forces and stockpiles while producing some items on their own (e.g., artillery rockets, mortars, mortar bombs) (watch). Heavy weapons currently in their possession include:

    • Armored vehicles: BMPs and T-55, T-62, and T-72 tanks

    • Artillery (see below) or other indirect-fire weapons: single and multiple rocket launchers (captured and improvised); 122 mm, 130 mm, and 152 mm field artillery pieces; 82 mm and 120 mm mortars

    • Antiaircraft weapons: 12.7 mm and 14.5 mm heavy machine guns, 23 mm (ZU-23 and ZSU-23/4 "Shilka") and 57 mm antiaircraft guns, MANPADs (SA-7/16/24), and a few SA-8 Gecko surface-to-air missile (SAM) launch vehicles

    • Antitank weapons: Metis-M ATGMs, RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and 73 mm SPG-9 recoilless rifles
    ....
    The opposition is also using rockets, mortars, and artillery to create greater amounts of indirect fire during siege operations (see below), allowing units to strike inside regime positions with reduced risk to the crews.

    This REGION not just Syria is NEVER going to work it out. They NEED to fight apparently. It will be a horrible civil war. But it already is. We cannot help. We can only meddle. We will always get our oil. Sunni or Shiite can agree that the oil keeps flowing that will not change.

    They will have to fight until every man and boy above 12 are dead or maimed. Every house will be destroyed TWICE. then the old men and women will decide maybe fighting over how to worship a god is not that big a deal. The Koran (sp?) is a pretty big book lets FINALLY read some other parts of it??

    It's like West Virginia snake handling churches were at war with southern baptists. Makes no fucking sense. But have at it. 6,000 or so US soldiers killed is enough.

    I guess you could use Google Earth for global postioning and then use the iPad's accelerometer to line up the angle of degree.

    Good grief some people have it bad in this world. I just use mine to find carryout chinese food. :?
