War With Syria: Yea Or Nay?

[U2Edge]

Riddle me this. If another country launched missiles into the United States, you would not consider it an act of war? You think our Government would not think it was an act of war?

-Geaux

It would depend on the situation and the context. Simply firing a missile into another country is not the same as declaring war.

?

Listen dildo, its very hard to fight against a foreign power when a nation is involved in a civil war.

. The CIA and the Mossad have been very very busy encouraging a civil war.

.

Hence the reason Assad will do nothing and step back in line after the missile strike.

Yea, not always, but in this case it surely is with the statement of the red line and our supplying of the rebels.

When Assad reacts the same way to the US missile strike the way he acted to the three previous Israeli air strikes this year, you will see what I mean.

Because Israel has the kind of military force and clout the U.S. has.

 

[RandallFlagg]

The US is NOT declaring war. It is launching a punishing deterent strike to deter the further use of chemical weapons.

Well, then if the Cruise missile strike has been negated by telegraphing it so early, why are the Syrians and Russians so worried. LOL

Fact is, the strike will have the intended effect whether its launched next week or next month.

Syria is in the middle of a war remember. Their troops and equipment still have to be deployed to meet the rebel enemy, otherwise they lose ground to the rebels.

In fact, the weapon systems that they have chosen to hide inside schools are now no longer being used on the battlefield. So the strike has not even happened yet, but its already causing Assad problems and giving the Rebels and advantage.

Otherwise, Israel has gone to war three times this year with Syria, yet Syria did not even so much as give them the middle finger.

Do you think Israel has gone to war three different times with Syria this year?

Ever been to Israel? I have been. Numerous times. Israel is in a perpetual "state of war". Might have something to do with the fact that he entire Middle East wants them destroyed.

From your above posts, it's relatively easy to understand your stand on Israel and that's your business. However, Israel is not a player in this latest fray. The US is. Let's stick to the "crisis" at hand, shall we? You know, the one Barry has involved us in?

Or, are you merely looking for a scapegoat for Barry?

I don't care about Israel. I'm talking about the United States and Syria. YOu are wrong big time if you think we would stand by and let another country fires missiles into US soil and not consider it an act of war

-Geaux

Well we are talking about Syria and how they would react. They didn't lift a finger after Israel attacked them three times this year, or as you would put it, went to war with Syria three times this year.

A year from now, I doubt Syrians will even remember the US missile strike much less refer to it as a "war"!

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Syria is already being devastated. How will a number of cruise missiles make any difference, U2?

The Syrian military has large number of important military assets that are intact an important in their plans for fighting the rebels. The loss of some of these assets will deter them from ever using chemical weapons again.

So what you're saying is that a single cruise missile strike will win the Civil War for the rebels. So how again is our action not making war with Syria?

Then what's the point in doing it?

If Obama likes war, than he should go alone and fight.

Barry is not my man, I never voted for him and actively campaigned against him in each election.

Assad did not respond to the Israely strikes because it would have been a waste of his time and resourses given what he is dealing with. The same will be true of the US missile strike.

Yea, because most of them will be dying in refugee camps.

As a person who spent YEARS in Embassies across the world, your naïveté impresses me. HUNDREDS of bombs (RPG, Tank Rounds, Arty Rounds, small arms fire, AA batteries) are heard everyday in Damascus each day. Yet, you contend that the US targets a couple of mountainsides (where the CBR munitions WERE kept until Barry told Assad we were coming) and you somehow are deluded that Assad will "step back in line".

Lordy, Lordy......

Are you saying the chemical attack was a rationally thought out process?

O h really, I suspect he will gas even more than last time. Might even lob a few towards Israel. He will not let the Americans declaring war stand. And we best hope Russia does not take issue

Listen asswipe, , will Iran and Lebanon and possibly Russia step back after the missile strike?

Why don't you use the Star of David as your avatar?

I say nay....they will have to do a powerful amount of convincing me.

 

[Vox]

-Geaux

well, as SOB he is, at the moment it is most likely more to the US interests if he stays.

A year ago was a different situation. Maybe.

 

[bodecea]

So...which is it? President Obama is for Assad or for the Rebels?

 

[Hoffstra]

-Geaux

Assad is a secular dictator, who has kept the peace with Israel.

the Syrian Rebels include Al Qaeda and other extremists.

not even Israel is sure who is worse.

Lordy, Lordy......

Sure, and your about to see it all happen. Assad has no interest in fighting the United States or having the US Air Force become the Air Force of the Free Syrian Army.

Assad's military struggles daily to keep Damascus free of insurgents and yes yet to make much progress in taking parts of the largest Syrian city Aleppo back. Much of the Syrian military already deserted long ago and the Syrian military is experiencing severe manpower shortages. The Syrian military has more tanks than they have trained tank crew man and more aircraft than they have trained pilots.

It is an embarrassment to Assad that he is having to get help from Hezbolah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. He does not have time to do combat with Israel or the United States.

That's why Russian lawmakers are now in Washington DC on their hands and knees begging US congressman not to authorize the strike.
