“if the kurds are in Syria they have no right to be there.”

That’s a ridiculous statement. Kurds have lived in parts of Syria for thousands years. Not that I support our efforts to overthrow Assad, but the western powers that created the “nations” of the middle east deliberately split the Kurds between 4 countries to keep the populations divided and at each others throats to prevent a unified resistance. To say the Kurds have no “right to be there” ignores history.

I disagree respectfully. We are running in fighters from Kurdistan. They are tresspassing on a sovereign nation and they are fair game for bombing. These are not indigenous fighters. I appreciate that we agree on not overthrowing Assad. He has done nothing to us and that “gassing his own people” was total bull crap. We found the chlorine gas plants operated by the insurgents!! They gassed THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!!

We are an unwelcome, hostile invading force. Syria should file charges against the US at the UN for violating their sovereignty, And file charges against 0bama for war crimes.

The Muslim play in Libya was to overthrow a government and leave the pieces for the Muslim terrorists to pick up.

The Muslim play in Egypt was to put the Muslim Brotherhood into power to put more Muslim terrorists in power. The MB got thrown out.

In Syria, America's FIRST Muslim President, Hussein Obama, is once again backing and arming Muslim terrorists. Hussein is very disappointed that the Syrians will not just give up and die like happened in Libya. And those pesky Russians seem to be blocking Hussein Obama's efforts, Putin must have figured Hussein Obama's motives out.

who the heck ARE we backing these days ?

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, is backing the rebels. Who are the rebels? Muslim terrorists who are attempting to overthrow governments so that Muslim terrorists are in charge.

Hussein is using American money and weapons to put Muslim terrorists in power. One day, they will be strong enough to come for you and your family.

Again, Kurdistan is not some country located outside of Syria. There is no country of Kurdistan, and if there was it would be parts of Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria where Kurds have lived for thousands of years. They may now control a portion of Iraq that is called Kurdistan, but that doesn’t mean they are “run in from Kurdistan”. It means that Kurds in liberated territory in Iraq are fighting to also free their territory elsewhere. The part of Syria they are fighting for has traditionally been Kurdish majority. I sympathize with the Kurds but I also fear they will eventually be abandoned, because they are allied with us, and America always abandons our allies in these situations. Unlike the Russians who hang in until the last dog dies.

Where do you think is “ Kurdistan”?

Parts of Iran and Afghanistan, where the Kurds come from. They are foreign invaders in Iraq and Syria. Genocidal invaders.

Check again, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, where these 4 countries are close on a map is where 'Kurdistan' is also. Promised at the end of WWI, never delivered. Home range of Saladin from the Crusade period.

No it isn't. The Kurds are welcome to go back to their Iranian-Afghan homeland and duke it out there with the squatters.
