Game Changer in Syria?

why not work through the UN!? ... if Russia is going to get in the way - it's really no different than the US impeding the world's efforts in the Occupied Territories ... at the very least - it puts the case in front of the world and action isn't done unilaterally ...
in the end - we know US involvement is going to be decided based on factors outside of the humanitarian crisis ... it's about weapons sales, political instability and its goals in the region ...0 -

Well they were your buddies back when Russia was visiting Afghanistan. So to think you trained and armed them, it is about time you locked arms with them once again to get a good foothold right beside and knocking on Russia's door. Method to the madness, eh!
Wow, my buddies??? Wtf! Are you kidding me??? I've been saying for years that republicans and democrats are the same shit. Look bro, I dnt need a history lesson here. I'm well aware of the shit that goes on around the world. I'm well aware there's a secret hand that decides all the shit. For all the countries. When I posted my post, I was being a little sarcastic. Obama is a puppet as was bush JR. Shits been planned for years. And btw, I'm probably one of the only few if not the only person who has been to syria a couple of times, came back the exact same day this shit started over there. So please, no baptis sermon for me. Thanks0 -

i wish people could just be decent & kind
i wish a prayer; all candles bring rain
my wish is no blood shed over greed, religion, power & land
how simple it must be to just be? wrong
how difficult it must be to just be? correct
those who can simply just be, lucky
there are those with nothing simple & nothing lucky at all
blessed are those living a decent simple life
things very easily could be changed for the worstfor poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

The only positive scenario for a U.S. Strike against Syria is that no other country sides with Syria and Syria decides never to use chemical weapons. That, and for Republicans only... so President Obama has a war on his side of the ledger and they can complain about it. That's the only reason why Republicans are calling for war.
...
Other than that... there is no positive outcome from U.S. intervention in Syria.

How is this for crazy? The United States is broke. We borrow 46 cents of every dollar spent in order to pay our bills. We borrow money from China, who opposes our intervention in Syria. So we are going to bomb Syria in order to help rebels who are backed from Al-Queda. Oh and we will probably borrow more money from China to accomplish this mission.0

I've been following this from Seattle today. This must be the first time for thirty years that the UK hasn't endorsed US military action overseas:

• Trouble for White House after UK parliamentary revolt
• Doubts circulate about case tying Assad to chemical weapons

Anyone got a line on who is actually ENDORSING U.S. military intervention in Syria... other than John McCain, Joe Biden and Lindsey Graham?
I mean.. WHO is 'pressuring' President Obama to intervene?
It's not coming from within America... is it? Our allies don't want any part of it. The Russinas don't want us there... which most Americans agree with President Putin. Neither does Middle Eastern countries.
So.. WHO THE FUCK is beating the war drum? We need to find him and beat the shit out of him with his own goddamn drum.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

im just sad as shit innocent & simple people are being fucked over, hurt & killed. when this happens anywhere i am upset. all i can foresee is agony
Me too...but we cant save the world without saving ourselves first. Man I see so much shit in my city that is fucked up and no one says anything. I see more people struggling to make ends meet...heck just to put food on the table. I ain't got nothing against people making a buck...but the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. It doesn't matter anymore if you go to college and get an education. The 1 percent just want it all for them and fuck the rest of us. And now we are going to go and try to save people who aren't even Americans. Yes it is sad as shit but we got enough problems.
Sorry I got off the topic and needed to vent.0
