Author Joel C. Rosenberg (Damascus Countdown, The Last Jihad, etc.) has gone 100% neo-con. Although there is no evidence that Assad used gas in Syria, Rosenberg accuses him and calls for war against Assad.

This is extremely disappointing. I've read Rosenberg's books, both fiction and non-fiction, and found them to be of fairly high quality.

Now, he's a war-monger. The same guy who decries the Muslim Brotherhood's murder of Christians in Egypt wants the U.S. to send our troops to their death helping the MB in Syria because someone used gas!

How does he reconcile this? He doesn't but to say he doesn't want the MB or al Qaeda in power. Really?

Joel, that's what you are going to get. You've been co-opted by the neo-cons and those who seek perpetual war. Shame on you.

For the most part, with a few exceptions [**cough** George Soros] the Jews didn’t gas themselves, but in this case, the Muslims gassed the Muslims.

The Obama machine, including Organizing America, are now beginning their propaganda efforts to drum up support for Obama to go to war. You will begin to see a sprinkling of people come out in support of going to war in Syria. Code Pink and all the other “anti-war” groups (who were really Democrats who wanted to win back the White House from Bush) will remain silent in their tacit support and approval for military action.

Watch this smattering of support to “grow” with more and more articles saying, “Obama has to do something!” Watch it reach a crescendo until the bombs start falling and then they will switch to hearty support of Obama’s “courageous” action.

Obastard is just looking for any excuse, even if the evidence for that excuse cannot be determined.

When these people say “the world,” they mean America. No way.. let someone else deal with this mess. It isn’t our damned fight.

Obama The War Criminal and Number One Enemy of Humanity used gas in Syria by proxy so he can spread Islamofacism.

“WE” the people can not be assured by the proven liars in the US Govt that this was a Syrian govt action or even if it really occurred.

Sorry, no game on

No one wants al Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood to rise to power in Syria. I certainly don’t. I see the dangers ahead. I see the risks. The world powers will need to act wisely and carefully. But act they must.

Assad has crossed the red line. He is committing genocide.

So is al qaeda. The muslim brotherhood and assad are merely using different means to the same end, so WHY is it any of our business if sand monkeys want to kill themselves.

What is the exit strategy this time Joel?

Do we blow up some stuff and then leave the factions to continue fighting among themselves?

Do we put in some sort of interim government and then withdraw before a new viable state comes together, once again leaving the factions to continue to fight among themselves?

Or do we go into real nation building and install a military dictatorship for the decades it will take to transform Syria back into a real country?

I say we go with Plan D: Do nothing except encourage the Christians to get the heck out and support them in their efforts to begin their lives again in other countries.

“I am a Christian. My conscience cannot bear the thought of any human being, regardless of their race, or religion, or nationality, suffer such evil. I say the world must act now.”

Well Joel, get yourself a rifle and head on over there to help out. After the wonderful Muslims you are trying to save behead you and dump you in a trench, you can think about it further.

Just last week there was an incident in Syria which resulted in several Christian villages being demolished and the inhabitants murdered. I don’t condone the use of gas on the inhabitants of Syria, but where is the outrage over the Christian genocide in the Middle East for the past 20-40 years?

He and his family should then be the first boots on the ground.

As for me and my family, when two of my enemies are fighting, I stay out of it.
Obongo is beyond stupid.

It seems to me that there is evidence only that gas was used. it would make much more sense to think that the ‘rebels’ (aka muslim brotherhood aka AQAP) did this and then said look at what he did. Anyone with a younger sibling has had that happen on at least one occasion.

>I now support military action against the Assad regime.<

.
By doing so you automatically support the establishment of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda in Syria.

Pick your poison and expect to drink it.
