Americans oppose US involvement in Syria

**** if we're going to arm the rebels. Why not arm them right? Why not arm them to have better then anything Assad has.

-Apaches
-Battle tanks
-Some of our better smaller arms tech

Giving them a few small arms from the USSR isn't going to win this.

What do you expect to "win?"

I'm against our getting involved in Syria - but then I think the Russians and the Iranians should get out of there.

It's not like the Russians care about anything more than keeping their access to the Mediterranean via their Syrian base.......

How many bases do the Russians have outside their homeland?
They might consider leaving Syria when the US departs Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
