United States as the leader of the free world cannot allow Assad to use chemical weapons

But we can have the Saudis and Obama CIA organize and arm radical Sunni jihad groups, launch a civil war and overthrow a government over oil pipeline routes, and push a couple million Muslim immigrants to Europe.

No US interests, we should not expend a single dime on that country, let alone even put one person at risk there. It is a civil war where both sides are moooelimb losers. Don’t care who wins, and it doesn’t matter.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

No

Cruise missiles don’t have pilots that can be killed or captured.

The increased presence of Russia and Iran means that syria is likely to be lost.

Destroying the Assad power is called for since he is a proven war criminal.

I’m not sure if the above is a No... on second read, it looks like a Yes with qualifications.

The question was bombing. The answer is no.

The question was not should there be retribution by the civilized nations against repeated Syrian war crimes?

The safe retribution is stand off cruise missiles that do not have pilots but have very long range.

We should bomb California. They seem to be at war with Constitution and the rest of the American citizenry anyway.

How’s that much different from bombing?

Syria -- obviously no.... but

Russian MOD just released a statement directly accusing the UK of staging a provocation in Ghouta. I presume some evidence will appear before long.

If it so happens that the UK actually carried a chemical attack in Ghouta, should be bomb the UK? After all, Trump promised to bomb whoever is responsible .....

If we BOMB Syria, it needs to happen only once, be nuclear in nature, excessively overdone, and should encompass Tehran, Mecca, Medina and Riyadh, Jordan, and at least the northern half of Afghanistan.

.....and maybe a few strays dropped on Turkey, BUT IT HAS TO BE A LIMITED ATTACK!

Another piece of crap neocon rant, masquerading as objectivity.

Not only is it not established who used chemical weapons recently, the preponderance of the evidence implicates the insurgency.

So lets cut this steaming puddle of rhetorical diarrhea off at the beginning and not do anything rash until culpability is firmly established.
