The letter was organized by the neoconservative groups Foreign Policy Initiative and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and signed by 56 mostly conservative foreign policy experts and commentators, including Liz Cheney, Karl Rove, Randy Scheunemann, former Iraq administrator L. Paul Bremer, Commentary editor John Podhoretz, Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol and ex-New Republic editor Martin Peretz.

I'm not sure letting these folks vote is such a great idea.

Man, I miss those ol' Shah of Iran friendly to America dictator types.

Oh yeah, I went there!

None of the signers are conservatives. They are Rino’s, neocons, moderates and opportunists. Another dishonest story from the MSM.

I’m pretty sure they are also on the list of people who would make money off of this action.

BINGO. You are right. Not a conservative among them.

If the Saudis want Assad and his Iranian buddies off their borders let THEM pay the money to do it and let THEIR boys die over there. Let THEM go whining and pleading to the ISRAELIs to take out the Iranian Nuclear facilities.

BESIDES, if you REALLY want Assad out, attack Iran and destroy their military capabilities AND their nuclear sites and Assad will crumble like a piece of cheap Devil’s Food Cake. THEY are shoring him up.
