What, by purging Assad and any remnant of Western influence?
To: rktman
Playing into the hands of the hardcore islamists who want to crush any resistance to the mega petroleum pipeline the Saudis want to run through there?
To: Helicondelta
If Trump takes out Assad’s military capability, the world will witness the rape, murder, beheading, cage burning, female slave markets, Christian and Alowite mass graves shootings that every good Saudi boy dreams of.

I would not want to be sitting off the coast launching missiles. Probably not time safest place in the Eastern med.
And if that ship is blown out of the water, how do we explain that?
To: Helicondelta
Can someone tell me what our national interests are in Syria? What’s the cost benefit-analysis for us getting involved there?
I can see the real downside cost of getting in an all out war with Russia...Just what the Hillary cabal and corrupt state was pushing for before the election.

Our main interest is in preventing Iran from having a corridor to the Mediterranean Sea.
That would lead to all kinds of trouble for us.

Yep. The goal is to keep Assad weak so that the civil war goes on forever. Russia and Iran will stay busy there and not create problems elsewhere.
To: mrsmith
I’m not buying it. Not nearly enough benefit for the downside costs that we can incur.

No. I don’t see that. I think everyone knows Obama kicked a bucket of fire ants over with that plan. It’s too advantageous for Iran.
As far as I’m concerned it’s China’s problem now.
They need the Mid East, we and our allies not so much anymore..

[absence of fly overs] well it is pre-dawn and a war already is ongoing?

Lebanon as an Iranian province should worry you. Large Iranian Navy cruising the Med.
Never mind Israel.
I don’t see much risk. Russia and Syria have no problem with double-crossing their ally- to their benefit.

You can discern what is going on from just these two tweets... "BTW: IMO, Gulf Cooperation Council special forces are on the ground in disguise as jihadi in both Syria and Iran and are working with Trump...they will take them down from the inside.
I predict Iran will once again become close to the US, as it was before the Iranian revolution..."
Only this captures what you just said:

Hope every bomb and missile finds it target.

Hopefully enough eyes on things to see where the rats scurry and retarder as needed.

Because the world in 1925 said no to chemical weapons. Obama drew a line in sand and ignored, Trump criticized and said he and all civilized countries would not ignore. He is following throug with that commitment now, just as he did last year. Russians already blinked and pulled their Navy out of harms way. Figure at this point only way to stop is for Assad to quit Syria.
