    It's clearly set up for another war... The Syrian government seem to be winning, the Iranians are not playing ball; bomb (and invade?)...

    There is too much that we don't know. I supported the over throw of Saddam but Im not sure if I support this.

    The thing is, Assad is an Iran ally and Iran is the chief sponsor of Hezbo and Hamas.

    Agree with you. Until Chirac, France had an independent foreign policy that used to make some kind of sense.

    French people used to call Sarkozy "the American". Today most French people think Holland is jewish (he is actually a catholic). It is not that French people don't like american or jews, but it actually reflects the fact that the last two presidents are not seen as defending French best interests.
    The things we regret most is the things we didn't do

    As sad as it all is ( orphans, dead babies, limbs blown off, burns, etc.etc.etc.) it is through violent unrest that democracies are eventually forged, so best let them get on with it until a winner is declared.

    Then, and only then, if the winner is not to the wests liking, should the west intervene.

    I don't get it. Yep, poison gas sucks. But why is it the US's obligation to once again jump in. I didn't get it for Iraq, I don't get it for Syria, and whateverthefuck Afghanistan was meant to prove, that was doomed from the beginning. It's not like the US doesn't have several thousand vats of malodorous shit on its own shores to clean up. I don't get it.

    Oil.......what else. I do not see the Americans and British running off to the Congo to sort out the problems there and many millions have been killed there but I guess that the Congo does not have the huge oil reserves that Iran has. This Syria gig is all about Iran and the strategic/economic interests of the west,it has nothing whatsoever to do with a humanitarian crisis,if it did then the west would have bombed the crap out of Israel /Congo/North Korea years ago.

    United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolution 660, Resolution 661, Resolution 678, Resolution 686, Resolution 687, Resolution 688, Resolution 707, Resolution 715, Resolution 986, and Resolution 1284). [1]


    On 8 November 2002, the Security Council passed Resolution 1441 by a unanimous 15–0 vote; Russia, China, France, and Arab countries such as Syria voted in favor, giving Resolution 1441 wider support than even the 1990 Gulf War resolution.

    The US has yet to learn anything since Vietnam. Too quick to go where we are not wanted and wind up with nothing but more dead soldiers.

    Here's an idea..why don't we just let all the mutherfucken middleasterners kill each other and then we could just walk in an take the oil?

    Would have been a fantastic run for our US+UK military if we were still in Iraq.

    Imagine it all those tanks crossing the border.
    Our tech is infinity superior - Tanks + Attack Helos with infrared sensors, guided missiles, all connected via data link.

    It's like playing a computer game on cheat mode!

    the reason for the US wanting to go in is the Chemi bomb?
    i am really worried about this,
    if they think they will just go there and fuck the place like iraq and afgha, they are wrong, they will get a much stronger response from Syria,
    Iran and Russia has sold them earlier this year missile defense systems and also jets,
    Russia and Iran will not be drawn in at all, they are waiting for the day the US is at it's weakest point and then strike and kill that NWO, for good
    Sorry about me horrible speling

    Assad is scared shitless of Israel and the US. He's a pussy. He didn't do anything when Israel bombed them in 2007.

    French, Other Europeans, Arabs Demand The US Bomb Syria

    Life is far too ridiculous to even bother to explain.
    "European and Arab nations joined Tuesday to condemn Syrian dictator Bashar Assad for gassing his own people as the United States pondered possible military action in its first direct intervention in the Syrian civil war.

    France, the United Kingdom and the Arab League said Syria must be held responsible for the attack.

    "France is ready to punish those who took the decision to gas the innocent," French President Francois Hollande told a meeting in Paris of French ambassadors."

    Let the cheese-eating surrender monkeys bomb Syria themselves if that's what turns 'em on. France is willing to fight this war until the last American standing...

    Sorry for all the innocents getting killed but it is not in our national security interest so why get involved, let Russia sort it out even if it means helping Assad kill all the opposition who are probably mostly Islamic nut jobs

    Just call it a big win for McCain. He goaded Obama into his stupid 'red line' remarks and now he is being shamed into action over an issue of no strategic importance to US interests. There can be no good outcome from US retaliation. Let it burn itself out without the US mucking things up even more.

    I find it incredulous that UK parliament should be recalled because of a civil/religious war in a far off land.
    Did the Assyrians offer help in 1644?
