Yes, i think we should destroy or at least severly diminish Assad's capacity to conduct chemical attacks. Let the rebels sort it out from there....buuuut who the fuck are these rebels? There are so many different groups. And the most effective amomgst them are those barbarian jihadists! I could probably make a strong case for limited intervention just to stamp put and burn out the islamists. They are the threat that threatens us and Syria's neighbors, not Assad. We can (and for a long time have) wheeled and dealed with dictators. There is no negotiation with Islamists. Ideology that rigid doesnt bend to the norms of self-preservation or show any respect for our common humanity. It can only break. Which is the case I make. Stomp out the al-nusra and al-quaeda groups before they get a foothold like they have in Iraq. Even if Assad does eventually kill enpugh of his owm people to win, better him then another rogue state.

Teh Fux?

are you dimwits really arguing about whether our ALREADY OVERSTRETCHED military should be pushed into another endless engagement in Sandland?

shit, this time they didnt even take a poke at the US, they are just beating the living shit out of their fellow Sandlandians.

we have not been attacked by syria (lately), we have no treaty obligations at stake, assad has spent most of his time fucking over his own people, and thus, i say, carry on assad, do your thing.

Non-Intervention:
Worst Case Scenario: assad gasses a whole shitload of his own durkha durkhas, and nothing much changes.

Best Case Scenario: assad gasses a shitload of durkha durkhas, they rise up and overthrow his ass, he is hung with piano wire, and they select a new asshole to start the oppression all over again and we get 10 years of quiet from those turds while they clean house for the new regime

Intervention:
Worst Case Scenario: we wind up footing the bill in blood and treasure for YET ANOTHER nationbuilding circle jerk, and we are committed to 20 fucking years in ANOTHER country thats little more than a kitty litter box, but this one has operational chemical weapons, and the ability to use them against our troops.

Best Case Scenario: obama displays a heretofore unsuspected streak of pragmatism, and charges the Joint Chiefs with the following mission: "Do it Roman Style, go in, stomp them flat with overwhelming force, level their cities and towns, and then ride away with a warning, "Do Not Make Us Come Back", ignore the bleeding hearts, and the whining cries of the press, just spank those assholes and bug out."

all in all, i dont trust obama to lead a fishing trip,, much less a military adventure, so i say Non Intervention, It's WIN-WIN!!

I agree with all except the part about Assad.

Assad is the one who keeps the crazy Sunni Musselmen in line, most of the people he's killed arnt even Syrians, they're Al Queda (and umbrella groups) not even from Syria.

Plus, Egypt should be the prime example of what happens when these dictators are overthrown.

Hussein kept them in line. Now look at the country.
As to Egypt. The brotherhood is going to have to go back underground, as the Egpytian military like that of Turkey doesnt placate religous Nut jobs.

Always start with the Thread Title. Sniff for Sophistry....hmmm. Why yes. Yes there is.

Intervention: (I had to grab this one for the example sentence)

So, it is the last meaning we are debating in the USA. Mass killing is an addiction. We know this. It will spread in area and toll. We will intervene, like Tony Soprano Intervened Christorpher....by kicking the shit out him....only. And then tossed him into Re-Hab, with inspectors and an executioner. Keep Assad close to the kill, like we did Sadam.

We all remember it was two gulf wars, right?


in·ter·ven·tion
ˌintərˈvenCHən/

you cannot be this dumb.

the founding fathers were not Occupy Protestors or "Libertarian Socialists" or "Anarcho-___________ist" teenager angst machines.

your assertion "they didnt want to be told what to do" has NOTHING in common with reality. they were not taking a principled stand for Noam Chomsky's version of "Liberty" but rather for the definition of liberty used by people with BRAINS.

they did set out policies to avoid international entanglements, but when attacked they DID strike back (America's first foreign war was against the moslem caliph of libya under Thomas Jefferson in response to piracy and murder), and when determined to be essential they DID assist or oppose various foreign powers in their struggles, both internally and externally throughout the 18th century.

you pretend to understand the nature of the founding of the US, but in fact clearly have NO CLUE

Fucking Hypocrite.

Intervene in Syria. Destroy Assad. By all means, it would be so easy for us...

That was the purpose of Iraq, whatever anyone wants to tell you. The goal was to disrupt regimes such as those in Syria, even if Dubya and Condoleeza Rice refuse to admit it now. The Arab Spring is their inheritance, the realization of all they sought to achieve, even if now--understandably, with an unfriendly government in power--they refuse to admit it.

No we are not. We are contravening the use of Proscribed weapon. It is punishment. We don't tell them not to. We tell them what we will do. And the punting to me says Obama will get an authorization to GET the WMDs, by all means necessary.

That will mean the same as Iraq.
