US Government Urges American Citizens to Leave Syria as US Aircraft Carrier Approaches
As the violent crackdown against Syrian dissidents continues, the US government is warning all American citizens in the country to leave immediately, according to CBS. Turkish citizens are also being warned to stay out of the country. The US ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, was pulled from that country last month.
The U.S. embassy continues to urge U.S. citizens in Syria to depart immediately while commercial transportation is available,” began a statement released Wednesday on the embassy website. “The number of airlines serving Syria has decreased significantly since the summer, while many of those airlines remaining have reduced their number of flights.”

Syria has nuked, wow, who knew that! Thanks for the info. /s
nukes, not nuked
Don't worry about it, just go along with it.
That's what you get with deferred Islam Nuclear Maintenance.
What vital interests did we have in Libya or Tunisia?
I was there when those places were an actual threat.
Ghaddaffi has been a very good boy for the past decade.
He was the first to pony over his WMD to the US when GWB rolled in on Iraq.
He has just been playing footsie with his harem for the past 8 years.
Why was he Obamas target? Why was Mubarak?
Mubarak had held the peace with Israel for 30 years.
The Answer is that Obama is purposefully destabilizing the area to our detriment.
We had Iraq sewn up.
I have always had trepidation with Afghanistan.
It is a lawless tribal land of warlords.
Things worked out well in Iraq and are coming along in Afghanistan.
History is a process, not an event
FYI, if you want to make a serious attempt at stopping the spread of nukes in Islamic nations deal with Pakistan and N.K.
ping - ‘syria has nukes?’
Are you Iranian or Russian?
The Baathist’s in Syria have avoided a critical eye for far to long.
Of course that was sarcasm, and this doesn’t surprise me either.
You give him too much credit
He was drug into the Libya affair. It was Euro driven and obama just came along for the NATO ride.
Either that or gross incompetence. Both are deadly.

It’s where the inspectors DON’T go we worry about.
We should just stop worrying our pretty little heads about all this nuke nonsense.
Dont sweat it. LoL
We are going to ensure democRratcy like in Egypt and Libya. more Muslim brotherhoods.
Cover for the Turks if the have stomach......
ensure=impose.
