Assad, Sadam, Kadafi, just about everyone else we've toppled were the friends of stability, protecting minorities, providing peace. What we've done by policies that have caused instability and unliashed monsters is beyond reprehensible.
It goes back to 911. EVERY ONE of the 911 maniacs was a Saudi. So why wasn't our fight with Saudi Arabia? They provide nothing for Christian and other civilizad nations.
Yep.
And the Saudis had their agent in the form of James Baker, who had both Bush’s ears.
Assad has a stockpile of chemical and biological weapons he refuses to get rid of. He has supported (international terrorist org) Hamas for over 30 years. He also runs a police state Dictatorship which has murdered 10s of thousands of defenseless civilians over the years. But so did Saddam and also Khadafy. And you think these are the ‘good guys’. Nice Enlightenment values you got there.
Terrorists = Bad.
Civilians = Good.
Dictatorships = Bad.
Elections = Good.
Executing civilians = Bad.
Allowing citizen to vote = Good.
Chemical and biological weapons = Bad.
Destruction of chemical and biological weapons = Good.
Try evaluating our policies and actions with these before deciding whether or not we’re making the right decisions.
Take it up with Colonel North and get back to us.
ISIS has been around awhile and building up. It’s all over FOX, with comments that the collapse of Obama’s red line IN SYRIA fed this take off for ISIS.
FReepers are informed of your lack of acceptance of fact— that a vacum most certainly “CREATES” opportunity for bad actions by bad actors, wherever they are building up.
OBAMA owns this.
I respect your opinion and it is a good one, but what lengths the media takes to defend their Messiah still remains to be seen.
My opinion is they'll try to hide or ridicule any ISIS leader comments to that effect.
I still maintain that you are a member of the Obama administration.
How about being more concerned about the US and using our military might to protect our Southern border, and send home invaders....before there are any more attacks on US soil? How about being concerned about OUR president who didn't stop the Tsarnovs when he had warning? What's next? Are you going to praise Saudi Arabia as a great friend and ally?
I am still trying to understand why any of this is directed at me.
I never said we armed them. I said they got a lot of arms from the retreating Iraqi army. Then all of a sudden you all are attacking me like rabid little happy drags.
Evidently, no one reads the threads around here. You just react like packs of wolves.
You guys enjoy yourselves. I am outta here.
Military aircraft vs artillery? Seems not so balanced but maybe we dropped warning leaflets first.
Let them hide stuff; imagine the havoc we can cause looking for it. A hidden asset is a useless asset.
I think you misunderstand.
You were simply pinged into an ongoing conversation because you had an exchange with the same poster who attacked *grania as a liar.
It is not unusual to be pinged into an exchange between the like minded. I wouldn’t call people “a pack of wolves” because you yourself don’t know what’s going on with the pattern for pinging around here.
(Now courtesy requires I ping *grania to this comment to you, because I mentioned him by name.)
Thanks.
I have been on here since Lewinsky, and just recently I am getting paranoid because there are so many folks shooting from the hip.
Yes, things move fast around here and firing off from the hip sometimes goes with it.
Just wait, it will get increasingly more exciting as summer winds down, the midterms arrive, followed by the presidential primary fight ramping up, as you well know.

Logically (from your argument here) we should've been helping Assad defeat AlQaida since our actions forced them there. Instead US policy worked to destabilize the country they retreated to.
I really don't understand why the US wants to overthrow stable dictatorships that provide for their people and defend their minorities. I'd much rather we keep them contained where they are. Case in point...the 911 Saudi maniacs were in the US on expired visas. The Tsarnov lads were refugees....but it was safe enough for them to travel back in forth. It's our funding of chaos in Syria that obliterated the border with Iraq.
And now we're getting hype from the media that equates vaporizing ISIS with just another incursion. It would be a first for the past few decades....an action with a moral obligation we own.
