War With Syria: Yea Or Nay?

[Geaux4it]

Launching a Cruise Missile strike against Syria does not make the United States the worlds policeman or nanny.

yes, it does.

it's none of our business.

They can gas themselves up.

It is our business when it comes to WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! There will be consequences to not responding.

Consequences for who?

...launching a single missile to destroy an empty building in Damascus?

It will probably be about 300 cruise missiles and Assad will get the message and that will be it. You'll see.

Well, which is it gonna be? First you say Oobop will launch a single missile into an empty building, second you say it's sure to be 300 cruise missiles.

These are not the same.

Anyway, I think the whole point is to clean up Iran, but so far, the heritage of the Iraq debacle is that no one believes Obama's stupid WMD claims, because Bush's were false and we know they were meant to lie us into war.

This is the same deal, IMO. But Congress MAY stop it.

May.

I NEVER said that would be the attack, I responding to your point that WAR is WAR no matter the action so I asked you if an invasion of 200,000 troops was the same as a cruise missile hitting an empty building. You still have yet to answer my question.

Oh, hey, I can answer that! No, indeed, an invasion of 200,000 troops is DIFFERENT from a single cruise missile hitting an empty building, just as the latter is DIFFERENT from 300 cruise missiles fired at Syria!!

This is a stupid conversation. Meaningless and pointless and I can't figure out what you are talking about. And you are heading into insult, so let's just end it.

Where is Samantha Powers? Does she play golf?

Most likely cowering in a corner in the fetal position, waiting to be told what to do....

I suppose he's pretending that somehow Assad means to WMD Maryland or Ohio or somewhere in these united states with poison gas he's going to launch at us because, you know, they are WMD and that's supposed to scare us into war.

As if.

I can't figure out what U2Edge is on about at all.

Just a reflex Obama supporter? I don't know. He says different things all the time.

Crazy discussion.

Could we get serious about Syria again?

Weapons of Mass Destruction, their possession and the use of them are huge threat to the United States and the rest of the World. Weapons of Mass Destruction erode the advantages that the United States has in conventional weaponry. Anything that erodes or weakens are defenses is a threat to us.

The United States has business dealings all the way around the world. The United States is interdependent with the rest of the world and there for can't ignore it.

You may not know it, but the price you pay for the food you put in your mouth and the gas you pump into your car is dependent on events and conditions on the otherside of the globe!

Acceptable risk- BTW- why are we concerned about using conventional weaponry against Syria, for where fear of gas attack would manifest?

We can ignore this just like Obama, and rightfully should

This is not the year 1812. You don't have to physically attack American soil to be a threat to the United States! Open your mind up a little to what the United States has for decades defended across the globe as a matter of national security!

Oh, and I voted AGAINST Obama in each election!

So did I lol... But I agree with him here. Despite his ill advised red line and all, I support him taking no action and punting to Congress who will drop this in quick fashion.

Were concerned what are Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines would face in any conflict overseas in defense of US national Security. Not responding to this massive use of Chemical Weapons make it more likely that the men and women who serve this country will have to go into battle against such weapons in the future, whether it be somewhere in the Persian gulf, Asia or elsewhere where the United States is defending US Security!

To advocate to do nothing makes the world a more dangerous place, and the first to see the results of that more dangerous world will be the United States military!

 

[Kondor3]

Syrian-controlled chemical weapons existed as a Level X threat to the US, before Syria used them...

Syrian-controlled chemical weapons exist as a Level X threat to the US, after Syria used them...

Those weapons were not directed against the United States nor its allies...

There has been no change in delivery systems...

Those delivery systems are not capable of reaching our shores, nor those of all or most of our allies...

There is no indication that such weapons are about to be turned against the US or its allies...

I see no greater threat today, than last year...

Other than a confirmation that the Syrians are willing to use them against their own rebels and civilians...

I do not perceive an imminent threat to the United States nor its allies, nor substantive indications of intent to use them in an interdiction or other capacity designed to harm the strategic interests of ourselves nor our friends...

Consequently, should we decide to take-off our World Policeman hat on this one, I see no pressing alternative arguments in favor of military intervention, this time...

Sorry...

Then by this logic, we should launch on Russia or Iran because we 'might' have to face them down the road. Sorry, Syria having gas does not reach the level requiring our assault.

And that is the bottom line. Barry found himself backed into a corner where he was going to have to act and he retreated. Punt the ball over to Congress so he has a scapegoat, either way.

Typical liberal. Big talk and nothing in the tank.

no it is not.

IT IS NOT.

CW has been used by Assad numerous times before and others too - we were silent then, we can be silent now.

Do you know what a self-fulfilling prophecy is?

 

[U2Edge]

Syrian-controlled chemical weapons exist as a Level X threat to the US, after Syria used them...

...

Which is irrelevant! The threat involves the possible actions of various countries around the globe in the FUTURE and involves the problems of PROLIFERATION!

Those weapons were not directed against the United States nor its allies...

There has been no change in delivery systems...

Once again, irrelevant! The threat involves the possible actions of various countries around the globe in the FUTURE and involves the problems of PROLIFERATION now that Syria has launched the largest chemical weapons attack in 25 years!

By the way, Syria has a variety of weapons systems that can deliver chemical weapons into Turkey(NATO member), Israel(historic US Ally), and Jordan.

British military bases on Cyprus are in range of certain Syrian Weapon sys tems.

I see no greater threat today, than last year...

Other than a confirmation that the Syrians are willing to use them against their own rebels and civilians...

I do not perceive an imminent threat to the United States nor its allies...

Sorry...

A rather simplistic appraisal of the situation that fails to see the consequences for the future. If chemical weapons start to be come seen as normal, then their possession and use will spread. The threat and consequences or that of PROLIFERATION!

But don't worry, the missile strike is going to happen despite your opposition to it.

Sorry...
