The Senate panel aproves force against Syria

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"] No, it's because this strike is purely symbolic and idiotic. It will be used as propaganda by Assad if the strikes are weak. If they are heavier it will help Al-Qaeda.KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="MrPraline"]Think France is still on board. They released some agitprop about evidence of Assad being behind the attacks earlier.KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="killzowned24"] I suggest you watch the US debate because that came up, and Kerry agreed that Assad will do just that because that is not the purpose of the action,it's only to downgrade his ability.killzowned24

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Yea exactly...symbolic strike. Assad has had 2+ weeks to prepare for these strikes too. He's moved everything around.KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Defending him? No not at all. Announcing a strike 2+ before it happens is extremely stupid and won't be successful. It's symbolic at best.KC_Hokie

And?

First off, the house is still voting and so far it's mostly No.

It's not going to happen and even if it does, it's not going to be like Iraq. Seriously did anyone understand what Obama said?

[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Yes but those aren't cruise missiles. Obama is only planning cruise missiles from ships. They can't hit underground targets.KC_Hokie

Also, while CNN told me only racist right wing conspiracy nuts hold this thought, does anyone find it funny that the person considering f*cking bombing Syria is a nobel peace prize winner? And that the "most transparent government of all time" does not release the "undeniable" evidence of the regime's involvement? While locking up whistle blowers?MrPraline

Democrats are a funny lot.

For once I hope that somebody employs the filibuster. Every time we try and spend money on building our own country up politicians are all up in arms because we simply don't have the money to do so, but blow this sh!t out of some other country and watch the politicians yell "Murica!"

Awesome, lets spend more time and money bombing brown people. HoolaHoopMan

What is the right thing to do in this situation?  If Syria is using chemical weapons against its own people, should we do nothing or should we start bombing?  Neither action seems to be a good choice.  I say, we should only act if we get an large international consensus.  I do not want the US acting by itself.  If this is supposedly an atrocity, then the world should step up and come together.

I have a question.. Why is it when there's something ify in the world.. It's only the U.S and pulling their allies into it. Why does this country have to be the one to do this stuff? if we attack, why can't somebody else take care of it? Do we think we are some chosen god or something?

KC_Hokie

We're doing this alone. Not even a tiny 'coalition of the willing".

I hope assad kicks your ass.

Also you guys are clearly idiotic if you think you're getting involved into a random Middle Eastern country for nothing. When was the world ever that simple? "ZOMG brown people are getting gassed by an oppressive dictator! Lets go help!" - said no American (politician) ever.Victorious_Fize

"The world can not be silent" - Barack Obama

Why not?

The world was silent when the rebels were burning Christian villages to the ground.
The world was silent when the rebels were slaughtering Christian children.
The world was silent when these rebels were eating the remains of their human victims.

The world was silent when you, President Obama, gave the order that burned Qadaffis grandchildren to death.

So, apparently, the world can be silent. It's silent most of the time.when atrocities are committed, especially the atrocities you commit, Barack.
