    Why, Desh?
    there is a little thing about timing, though, isn't there. Saddam gassed the kurds DECADES before we invaded.

    Sort of like when your son spills the milk, and you wait until he's graduated from college and has kids of his own and THEN you spank him.

    It's not good enough. If you're going to involve our military, the definition has to be clear, the goals & objectives have to be specific.
    Where the evidence is shaky is in the "who", Onceler.

    There is also the problem of actual compelling interest. What would our goal be in "limited targeted attacks" and who is our "enemy"? What exactly will victory look like in Syria? How much will you still support it when Iran enters the fray and the "limited targeted attacks" become a war?

    Beefy, I can't believe you were naive enough to make this claim!

    Obviously, we can't all agree on 1 thing!

    Woops, sorry 81%...

    http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/...w/22270061.cms

    Some 56 percent of those surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria, while only 19 percent supported action, the online poll found.


    The only reason Obama even brought this before Congress is because he knows it is overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people and he hopes that the stink will be spread around as Congress gives the go ahead to bomb in a place where the bombing will have no relative effect to any US interest.

    There is zero chance we're going to stop this from happening, and all because he couldn't keep on script and had to mention his "red line" where we'd "do something"...

    I'm not mad, Desh.

    Should America only bomb Arabs who gas children when a Democrat is giving the order to attack?

    Honestly, everything on this board is now about the imminent Syrian military action, screwing drunk women, and men bragging about all the women they've screwed, drunk or otherwise, and why those women will never be the same (hahahha).

    Now, I admit that the Syrian situation is surely topical, and also very important, but every single thread on it is filled with the same people saying the exact same things.

    I know, I know, nothing is stopping me from putting up other threads. I'm too busy though.

    Seems to me he brought it to Congress because Congress asked him to. You have a problem with that?

    Kind of the way the board works thought right? After Newton almost every thread for two weeks was about guns. Zimmerman-Martin trial same thing. Now Syria.

    Don't get me wrong because I agree with you. I mean how many different ways can we say the same thing once we've stated where we stand?

    Dung, do you believe he would have brought it to Congress if Britain had said yes?
