Poor boy. I pray the Christians in the region take him in, take care of him, and look out for him.

I feel for the kid but I do not think that this justifies the US getting involved in yet another war. Bad things happen everywhere, including the US, this is just another bad thing that while unfortunate does not have anything to do with US interests. Unfortunately the war pigs are beating the drums for yet another useless war that won’t really solve these types of problems but just change out one set of rulers for another set that are just as bad or worse than the previous. Why spill American blood for that? Didn’t we learn anything from Iraq and Afghanistan?

Planned and cherry picked propaganda from all the usual MSM suspects meant to justify getting us into the war in Syria, of course with the aim of supporting an even more radical and brutal Islamic regime.

I still have no clue who killed these people, I do not believe anything the MSM or muzzies tell me.

All we’ve done in the Muslim world is overturn the leaders that successfully suppressed radical Islam (Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi), while claiming the Saudis (who don’t allow our troops to display crosses around their necks as they attack Iraq for them) are our allies.

We have de-stabilized the Middle East, and then complain when the replacements are “radical Muslims”.

The Christians in the region will soon enough be evicted from Syria by the Muslim Brotherhood just like what happened in Iraq after the US deposed Saddam Hussein and replaced him with a “democratic” form of government.

In muslim countries there is a choice between bad and worse — no other option is available.

The real toll of Obama’s policies is we are now a bankrupt country approaching 16 trillion in debt. We have no money to help.

This suits Obama, the Choom addled beta male, just fine.

I agree with you - a lot of the discussion about Syria shows a complete lack of common sense.
