WOW Color me shocked.
Syria has WMD's??
No. We don't need to invade them.
Gotta love Liability! Um yeah. They're close to each other. oooh! I guess that means that Iraq is pals with Saudi Arabia? Hey, Israel is pretty close! They must be buddies too! Un f-ing real how stupid people can be when they want to believe something because of political blindness.
The article cited indicate that this has nothing to do with Iraq at all -
that Syria has had their own program for years. The article indicates
that Bush was wrong about Iraq and in contrast, this is to be taken "Syria-lessly" (sorry, couldn't help it!).
From the article you cite: "We are talking about legitimate WMDs here --
this isn't Iraq. The administration is really concerned about loose WMDs."
And for those completely blinded by party to the obvious,
Syria supported the coalition against Iraq in the Gulf War. When Saddam took power, Syria closed their embassy. These weren't "pals" folks.
But even then, as the article claims, the ONLY concern revealed is because we know Syria has had
their own program.
This just adds to the long list of reasons we should not listen to the Republicans who are importuning for us to get more involved in Syria. Instead, we should listen to Obama and Clinton - Stay TF out of it.
We don't know who is behind the uprising.
We don't have access to 1000 miles of shoreline as we did in Libya.
We know at least 20 - 30% of the population still support al-Assad and it could be more.
Heavy collateral damage would be impossible to avoid, so we'll end up looking like bad guys.
It's NOT our f-ing business.
