There is an old truism, “You can’t lead if you don’t have skin in the game”.

“He and his brother have a knack for wanting to fight the wrong people on the ground.”

Here’s a thought. Maybe he should advocate for our going to war with Mexico instead, as I’m certain more Americans have died at the hands of Mexican illegals than by ISIS. Oops, I almost forgot, it’s an act of love that they are here (breaking our laws and tormenting us).

ISIS just attacked Paris. So, is Jeb saying we should have supported ISIS in Syria against Assad? Because that is who would have benefited regardless of the intent or formalities.

Bush wants a “no fly zone” so we can do what? Shoot down MIG 23s? Is he insane? He wants to fight Assad? This reminds me of his brother wanting to remove Hussein— Why? What was the reason that effected our shores? The bushes can’t get it right if they wanted to. LEAVE THE RUSSIANS ALONE WHILE THE BIG DOG EATS!!

We need a declaration of war (or invitation from Assad) in order to put troops in Syria.

Since, for some reason, we are fighting Assad, I guess that wont happen.

Yeah, he’s killed people. There’s a shock in that part of the world.

But Christians were a lot better off and 70 percent didn’t want him out.

obama and his CIA did though

For seeing what happens when you get rid of secular dictators, see Iraq and Libya

Obama has been the one leading us all to believe that Assad is the bad guy in Syria, while at the same time Obama has been helping ISIS in Syria to topple Assad.

I think everyone has to get the facts straight before anyone even thinks of going into Syria.

The DNCII party is sickening!

They have let Hussein Illegally overthrow Libya, and Egypt, and now they want to start WWIII over Syria?

Most of the Pukes are worse than the Dhims! At least we know they are traitors!

As long as Obama is the Commander in Chief we should not be authorizing the use of the Military anywhere for any reason.
