We Have No Business in Syria

While what happened to those people in Syria is tragic, it is not our fight and never has been. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say our military is to be used as the guardian of the planet and a lot of people in this country are getting sick of it. Aside from Afghanistan, we haven't fought one war in the defense of our nation since WWII. Every other war we have entered into has been a choice to fight someone else's and countless lives have been lost over the years.

Furthermore, we have been interfering in the affairs of the Middle East for over 70 years and all we've done is make things worse. We are responsible for the rise of Khomeini in Iran. We are responsible for the existence of ISIS in Iraq and we will be responsible for which ever radical Muslim extremist takes over Syria if we depose Assad. These people have been slaughtering each other for 5,000 years and we aren't going to change it. All we have had done is made ourselves a terrorist target and watched our civil liberties and Constitutional rights erode as a result.
Just so we're clear here... an exigent missile strike is not going to war... not an act requiring Congress... and we don't know what the NSC knows... we do know that (the 2nd.day after Bannon left) they were all in support of this strike... I sure do understand the nationalistic and isolationist sentiment that this action evokes....

A lot of people were saying the same thing about Europe in 1940.
Guess what. Evil eventually goes after you when it feels ready.

Oh Gawd, the tired old 'WWII Nazi' argument. When will you Warmongers get some new material? You're so lame.
Don't like recent history?

OK, a lot of people in 1860 said let the southern States succeed.
Bother you that slavery is not openly practiced on this continent?


Don't like that one?

A lot of people in 1949 said who cares about Koreans.
Bother you that South Koreans are not living as slaves in the worlds largest concentration camp like North Koreans?

More like irrelevant ancient history. Y'all Warmongers always fall back on tired WWII/Nazi rhetoric to justify your Permanent War agenda. It really is tired and lame.
 
Syria is a no win situation. Take out ISIS, you strengthen Assad. Take out Assad and you strengthen ISIS. Either way the Syrian people are fucked. We should stay away from this tar baby.

Agree.

I don't mind supporting with airstrikes, but I would oppose boots on the ground.

Also...frankly....if Assad goes, then what? If Assad stays, then what?

You don't get into a war without an end plan.

No, Pharaoh Thutmos III attacking the Canaanites in 1457 BC is ancient history, not the Korean war or WW2.

But you idiots have no knowledge of history, that is why you have such moronic and naïve views.
 
Once folks calm down and begin using common sense, they'll quickly realize this is a False Flag ruse. Why would Assad order a Chemical Weapons attack now? He's winning the war. It is a set-up. The 'Regime Change' bastards couldn't tolerate him winning and peace in Syria. It's as simple as that.

Because Assad wants to win more quickly with less damage to his cities and chemical weapons scares the shit out of people and he has shown no compunction on brutalizing his people throughout his reign.

False flag? That's nuts.

Yeah, keep milking that Warmonger 'Hitler Cow.' Y'all Warmongers are so misguided and ignorant. Sorry, but it is what it is.

It's a Wag the Dog False Flag farce. I don't doubt there was a bombing, but i seriously doubt it involved Chemical Weapons. It's a lie.
 
That depends on whether you believe that morality is restricted to those who immediately effect you.
The US military does not exist to inflict morality on the world. It exists to defend the American people from aggression. Woodrow Wilson destroyed its purpose when he made the deal to enter America on the side of Great Britain in WWI.
The late great Ralph Raico wrote a great essay on WWI and the scumbag Woodrow Wilson. He campaigned as a peace maker only once in office, proceeded quickly to war..much like his successor FDR. Funny how that happens over and over and still Americans get fooled. We can only hope and pray that Trump is not another lying scumbag like those two.

Logic would indicate that it's a "false flag", however, might there not me some 'strategery' on the part of Trump's NSC using this as an excuse....??? We are told that the entire NSC unanimously was behind this strike (Bannon x 2 days out) is an interesting "coincidence"...

Calling Russia liars now, tsk tsk.

Russia Slams U.S. Strikes, Warns 'New WMD Attacks Can be Expected'
