Getting involved in WWII was a mistake

All wars are created equal

Farkers care more about which American is to blame for a war than they do about its cause

Democrats / Republicans 100% unconditionally support action in Syria depending on which party you ask

Uh, you DO realize that the CWs that the US possesses are completely unusable, and pose more of a danger to anyone trying to assemble them than they do to anyone they're being used on.

They've also destroyed 89.1% of all of their cold war stockpile, with the rest due to be destroyed before 2021.

You do realize that doesn't change my point in the least? No of course you don't, because you are a moron. You are more interested in trolling and bringing up irrelevancies.

I'll bet you can't even coherently restate my point, because you don't know what it was. Go white knight the LGBT threads some more, maybe we can witness your coming out on fark, everyone but you already knows.

Don't Lag Me Bro: As a Canadian, I hope Congress does go for it. 100,000 people have died so far, and Syria's leader is using chemical weapons on his population. Surgical strikes on military targets and maybe one on his house.
Put in a peace keeping force, start elections, etc.

"I'm tired of being the nation who responds to atrocities with destruction. If Syria wants to behave like a child, we should act like a parent. Why are we not at least considering some non-deadly response? "
These people are slaughtering each other. With guns. You can't go in there, wave the white flag, and send someone who is behaving badly to time out. I agree you don't want to bomb randomly. Go for weapons and fuel. And if they are really bad, things like electricity.

Congress authorized the war in Iraq. After he asked. In fact, every member of Congress that gave him that power abdicated their duty under the Constitution. But, you know, making up facts is fun.

yea, after the smokescreen of 'yea we know for a fact sadam has WMD's' that turned out to be GOP Propaganda to get ole' George and the CONgress to pull the trigger.

Yes, an unprovoked American attack on a Middle Eastern country predicated on WMDs: there's not a thread of similarity -- none at all.

They'll at least flatten some empty government office buildings after notifying the Syrians that those are our targets. That'll show 'em.

Ah, yet another person whose entire foreign-policy experience comes from watching The West Wing.

Actually, it was from watching Bill Clinton, scourge of Middle Eastern janitors.

There are a LOT of proxies involved here. If Syria/Hezbollah launch a deadly attack against Israel--what makes you so sure the USA and Russia will stay out of it?

And what if Assad magically appears in the Oval Office and sits down at the Resolute Desk? Does he automatically become President, and does Obama become President of Syria?

yes. Did you?

Boehner says he supports the President. Then it goes on to say how he is going to have to sell it to his fellow republicans who are against it. The reason I ask you if you read it is because you are under the misguided assumption that the GOP wants this war. Where did you get this information? Right now there are more GOP voices decrying military action then are cheer-leading the President.

Let me take a wild guess, you can see into their hearts and know they really really want to bomb Syria?

Quick quiz who was the POTUS for World War I? WW2? Vietnam? Koren War? When you want a really big nasty war you got to vote Democrat.

Per normal the Republicans can't get their shiat together and the Democrats are going to get their way, much to the detriment of the American people.

I think you underestimate smart weapons. We're not sending B-52s into Laos, here.

Smart weapons didn't get saddam. That came down to good old fashioned boots on the ground foot work. I very much doubt our booming runs would slow down the killing and violence in Syria. We are just going to make things worse.

Bombing runs, stupid iPad autocorrect!

I have this slim hope that they have delayed because they have a good plan for nailing the chemical weapons without causeing much bloodshed.

Shostie: Will you f*cking stop it with this WWIII sh*t?

Given Russia's aggressive posturing over the whole thing, the Israel angle, the numerous other conflicts that are ongoing in the region, this is not exactly a far-fetched possibility. It's not nearly as "simple" as Iraq was as far as geopolitical alignments are involved.

That said, WWIII this is unlikely to become. I think it would be more likely to happen if AQ got their hands on a large amount of chemical weapons as we'd see their attacks become a lot more devastating and see a much worse response from the first world.

Depends on whether the kids are brown or not. If not, it'll be a "horrible tragedy." If so, it'll be "collateral damage" that, while regrettable, is a necessary component of bringing freedom to the ignorant savages.
