Politics aside do folks on this board support our action in Syria?

[cawacko]

Big bank take little bank Jarod?

I don't support killing people or risking our military personnel to "send a message." They are for defense, not for making your Fuhrer seem tough.

well you'd have to change behavior , and Assad took a whomping if he wants to use his AF anywhere near Homs.
So it wasn't just sending a message if it changes his behavior...we'll see

 

[tsuke]

So to you futility is a selling point?

wut no. I am pointing out that in terms of the middle east this is not an escalation.

6 people dead is normal. It is like saying your husband abdul raped a goat, or your brother Mohammad bought his latest 9 year old bride for 2 chickens and some firewood, or Alia is in paradise now with her 99 barbies after suicide bombing the police station.

It is however very useful to A) silence democrats B) warn the chinese regarding north korea C) tell the world in general we are willing to throw around a couple of toys here and there.

 

[tsuke]

Not a good reason to kill people.

sending messages definetly is : ) Its not like the middle easterners place a high value on their life anyway.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

blowing the shit out of a chemical weapons stash and the planes that delivered them seems like a world of win to me........

 

[christiefan915]

ehh. Life has a different value in the middle east than in the US. They strap bombs on to children over there and make them go kabluwey! If they dont care why should we?

Because we're supposed to be better than that.

I don't recall those questions- sorry.

Do you recall the questions in the post you replied to??

You are not required to answer but I do think it would be interesting to know, again, thnX

Okies have never known what it's like to be hated for seeking better opportunities. /s

Assad is not Gaddafi who never used gas on his own people. If he had, I would have been for his removal.

Assad not only gassed his people, he then bombed the hospital/clinic victims were taken to.

I have no interest in what Putin wants. or any policy to appease him.

He had them though, so why was that?

the Gaddafi regime joined the OPCW, based in The Hague, in 2004 but had only destroyed some 45 per cent of its declared stocks of chemical weapons before the destruction facility malfunctioned in February 2011, just as the ultimately successful rebellion broke out.

I have seen several Liberals who supported Obama say this was the correct thing for Rump to do...

I have not seen a single Con who opposed Obama, call out Rump's actions.

sad that some would hold an almost slavish adherence to anything the tyrant does...

The Syrian's Assad was brutalizing seem to like it.

I'm not sure what the problem is.

 

[Bill]

Is neither a valid answer?

Not for some......

There is no reason that could not have waited for congressional approval. tsuke claimed we had to hurry because of the effect it would have on the Chinese. His argument is stupid and shows how willing he is to abuse our military for benefit of Trump's ego. You always respond by ignoring context, you stupid tool.

 

[Althea]

Huh? Quite clearly there are people on the board who don't agree with you and according to "your people" everything is political. So read a little before talking shit

Wait...there are people here who are disgusted by gas attacks, but are fine with drone attacks, as long as innocents are killed? That makes absolutely no sense.

how about respond to them or is it not appropriate for a liberal to respond to another liberal if they have different opinions?

Yes. This is more of a tiny penis issue, than any foreign policy issue. There was no rush, as Kelly Ann Spicer might claim. It's not like finding dog shit on the floor, and needing to discipline the animal before he forgets what he did.

I didn't notice any liberals condoning the killing of children by drone attacks?
