Zero empathy shown by rSin for Syrians who are being murdered by their own government for just petitioning for a redress of grievances is inhuman.
Are we piling on to much rSin? Just say when your mind gets right on this issue.

None of the brilliant political minds have seemed to consider what may very well be the actual action chosen: Not to do something that creates a winning side, but rather, to do something that maintains a state of uncertainty and chaos, and so keeps Iran significantly occupied there, rather than involved in mischief elsewhere.
Rong thinks he knows things about the players better than the gov't.
He doesn't.
At this point, there is not a side that appears to be better for US purposes than another. However, keeping Asad from winning is probably in our interests.

rSin, I just got your avatar: you're a "caulk".
I think your troll is showing a bit too much with that.

As someone with predominantly Irish heritage, my family immigrating during the height of the civil war and thereby subject to conscription in the union army to fight those impoverished southern boys forced to fight a war for the rich, I can say I've got some white nigger heritage. Bleached out even. We've all been niggers at some point. Just a stupid word

Clinton told John McCain during a private Q and A on Tuesday in New York that Obama should be more forceful on Syria and should not rationalise with opinion polls that reflect Americans’ reluctance to tangle in foreign crises.
Yeah, private.
Who broke their word? Who had no integrity? Who altered the conversation to meet their needs?

Rong, I particularly like you parading out John McCain, who advocates all sorts of interventions beyond what we are currently doing, on the side that we are currently helping.
Explain that: You don't want us helping the insurgents some, but you are gung ho for helping them a lot????

How did that line go in Dr Strangelove - Well boys I reckon this is it !
Nuclear Combat toe to toe with the Russkies.
Of course its not nuclear. Just small arms. And its Syrians going against
each other and slowly reducing their cities to rubble.

What I don't get is why Obama is so fired up about Syria when he could be
'freeing' millions more people who suffer under far worse despots all
throughout Africa. Plus most of those jerks aren't very well armed. Plus
then we would get all their nice minerals instead of the Chinese.

He's not.
He's under the gun by his handlers to do what they want.
His handlers are stupid lying fools who are running the world into ruin on purpose.
Obama can't do much by himself ......
