If we vote no on Syria then Iran and USSR understand this to mean we will not stop Iran from going nuclear. That is what this is all about, Iran, not Syria. If we show no backbone here, which we are already doing, Iran gets the bomb and the world changes to Darth Vader...
Oh except for Rwanda which was apparently hardly worth noticing and had the real thing going on. Real genocides without pipeline potential are ignored.
This administration has no plans to stop Iran from getting nukes . No matter what comes out of this administrations mouth about protecting Israel it needs to be taken as a lie, it is completely sold out to Saudi money. A limited strike against Assad isn't going to do much but united the people who are fighting right now to go against Israel.
It's better to sit back and watch them kill each other and use up their weapons on each other . It's better to encourage the arab nations to send their own fighters there and expend their own weapons instead of saving them to use against Israel.
Meanwhile it buys Israel some time to prepare and might offer her chances to quietly take out specific targets while her enemies are busy fighting each other.
When God confounds ones enemies to kill each other instead of fighting you it's a blessing that needs to be taken advantage of . (Psalm 83)
