Some interesting observations on Syria, the committee appearances of Hagel and Kerry. Undoubtedly skewed right, but on Syria I'm not so sure there is a right and left.

It's many different authors, not all posts will be on topic, but I think many will find things of interest. This caught my eye, keeping in mind that this is a civil war and both sides would use any weapons they can get. Both sides will and have used civilians:

It would be prudent for us to remember that the alternatives to brutal dictatorship are not always what we’d like — especially as jihadists gain strength in the Syrian opposition, including some of the same vicious jihadists we fought in Iraq. Air strikes may alter the balance of power in the Syrian civil war, but they won’t endear us to al-Qaeda or any other Sunni radicals fighting Assad.

I fully recognize that I’m not privy to classified information regarding the nature and makeup of the Syrian rebels, but history demonstrates that we consistently approach the Middle East with rose-colored glasses, and a central question Congress should be asking is this: If we “degrade” Assad who do we empower

good find, the general consensus seems to be that the jihadistds can be mitigated by the Free Syrian Army ( or Coalition -whatever it's called now)

but no-one can say exactly HOW the FSA is going to govern, without the Al_Nusra types (AQ" affiliates") wanting to become a sectarian state.

If nothing else, Asssad has kept out the AQ types - being an Alawite. Before the civil war at least.

This was supposed to be looked at the Geneva Peace Conference - but that idea is long dead - Obama and Putin aren't even talking.
Another failure of diplomacy, in favor of 'red line" war / intervention.

We have no clue about degrading Assad, except it will empower the rebels - how is unknown, but could be heavy blowback.
Yet this seems to be the talking point, along with "Assad must Go"

you're right about that. when I was posted in Beirut, Arafat had his headquarters on the top two floors of an apartment building... Israelis sent a smart bomb into the top floor... didn't kill a single innocent civilian, but, unfortunately, missed the blustery old fucker cuz he was out driving around for the afternoon.

To me personally, dropping bombs always kills civilians and there is just no excuse for it. You can maybe find an instance where it would be justifiable to me, but none that I can think of. I am not a pacifist, but I'd want to see ships on the shore before war. I can support a true humanitarian intervention but don't really know of any recently. Humanitarian intervention would never include airstrikes.

And then, in this case, logically, this is a civil war. How the eff would you like it if France had dropped bombs on Massachusetts during our civil war? This is going to be a huge mess, runs the risk of turning into a proxy war (IF it isn't starting that way, I don't think we know), runs the risk of spreading, runs the high risk of further destabilizing both the country and the region...and for what? What is the goal again? When do we know we've accomplished it? None of this has been answered.

One final question I have is; why is it we always have money to bomb people? We just cut a shit load of programs during the sequester that have had the real life effect of causing pain and suffering to real people. But we can always afford to drop bombs - all of which will be replaced! We always have plenty of bucks to pay to the war pigs running this country and manufacturing these weapons don't we? And there is always some urgent reason for it isnt' there?

It's horseshit.

I like your comment that we always have money to bomb people. Truer words were never spoken.

Fine, then they need to SHOW US the evidence. It is our sons and daughters who will be dying and coming back shattered. I am so tired of having our children sacrificed on the altar of the the USA being the world's police force.
