[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="killzowned24"] It's simple really.Nobody else has the amazing assets that the US does.That's not true. The Arab league plus Turkey could perform these strikes. We know they could....we sold them all the planes. Planes vs Syria air defenses = bad idea. Unless cruise missiles are used to weaken them.No. You can use air to surface missiles without even flying in their airspace.
[QUOTE="Person0"] If we use any aircraft during the strike we aren't going to leave their air force untouched since that would be a threat to our aircraft. Grouping things together might help us take out delivery systems, we probably know where they put them so some nice bunker busters would take out underground systems.Person0
The strike is going to be via cruise missiles (can't hit underground targets). And they aren't touching the air force.
This whole strike is symbolic at best and incredibly stupid.
Sends a message about using chemical weapons.lol...no it doesn't. Watch Assad strike using chemical weapons a few days later.

Incredibly stupid.. there we go.. That's really all that needs to be said.. Obama and this government are **** idiots.. I feel like we could round up a group of everyday people from around this country and they would do a better job.Obama has no foreign policy and no allies willing to join his idiotic, symbolic strike.
[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="The_Lipscomb"] Did they? I wasn't paying attention then.killzowned24
Yup and it was a big shock for the Prime Minister. He was convinced he was easily going to get the vote. The brits are just being pansies. They still agree that Assad did it.They've already voted no. They aren't with us.
You know something is a really bad idea if the UK isn't even with us.
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 the world feels we need to strike, why can't somebody else take care of it? Do we think we are some chosen god or something?

[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Person0"] Pretty sure Israel, Saudi Arabia and turkey won't like free chemical weapons so close to them.They all don't like Assad either and are unwilling to do anything. They'll look to the U.S. to fix it as usual. I'm guessing they would be more pragmatic about the issue of chemical weapons near them and help secure/destroy them. Not if they can just get the U.S. to do it.
[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Person0"] I doubt all of his weapons are moved underground because that would give the rebels a huge advantage without aircraft bombings and artillery hitting them constantly.Person0
We aren't targeting airbases. So the air force is acting as normal. The delivery systems for chemical weapons will simply be moved out of storage the day after Obama's stupid little strike.

[QUOTE="The_Lipscomb"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="The_Lipscomb"] Do you have a link where the U.K says they're out? I haven't been reading the news since it's always so biased. UK parliament voted like a week ago. Did they? I wasn't paying attention then. Yup and it was a big shock for the Prime Minister. He was convinced he was easily going to get the vote.
[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Person0"] So theres a chance that someone that might use them can get some compared to a certainty of someone that has used them from keeping them. The Arab league could secure the weapons, the FSA could, NATO could. No one else is joining us in this attack. If the regime falls everyone will just look to the U.S. to secure the weapons. Pretty sure Israel, Saudi Arabia and turkey won't like free chemical weapons so close to them.They all don't like Assad either and are unwilling to do anything. They'll look to the U.S. to fix it as usual.

We won't even have the UK with us. Their parliament voted no. France's parliament could vote no as well.
We're doing this alone. Not even a tiny 'coalition of the willing".
