Default Stay out of Syria

Poll numbers are down.

Another middle-eastern dictator is getting press for being a prick.

Time for John Rambo Obama to step up and get that dog waggin'.


And so it begins.

Yes ... The US military-industrial complex and State Department foreign "services" should stay clear out of any involvement in Syria. ... Iranian central planning will hose up Syria on its own without our help.

Default Is this wise?

Quote:
Reuters reported Wednesday that President Obama “signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government.” This latest leak of classified information was attributed to “U.S. sources familiar with the matter.” Lethal covert assistance undoubtedly will help the rebel cause, but the United States is risking letting advanced weapons fall into the hands of the country’s most deadly terrorist foes.

The Reuters report alleges covert assistance, perhaps including sophisticated man-fired anti-aircraft weapons, is being funneled to the Free Syrian Army through neighboring Turkey. The White House thus far has admitted only to providing nonlethal aid. The administration also has made it possible for U.S. private citizens and other groups to support the rebels. Last month, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued a license to the nonprofit Syrian Support Group to raise money intended to purchase arms and ammunition, rather than being limited to humanitarian assistance.

Providing sophisticated weaponry to the rebels may aid their cause, but it also could assist America’s enemies. The State Department recently confirmed that al Qaeda fighters are moving into Syria from Iraq and elsewhere, and the terror group will seek to exploit the chaos, as it has done with the Arab Spring violence.
If true, Obama is showing the same lack of wisdom in dealing with Syrian rebels that he has done with Egypt, Libya, etc. Obama could be simply providing Al Queada a mens to consolidate theri power and establish the caliphate tht they desire.

Turkey and Syria on brink of war. Turkey a NATO member. Attack on one member an attack on all. I don't care. STAY OUT.

Use of chemical weapons will draw US response according to BHO. Syrian forces have been moving the chemical weapons. Preparing for use?
