Syria is not our problem

I've seen a lot of drumbeating on FOX especially comimg from Bill O'Reilly about how we should get involved in Syria. About the suffering of children and other civilians there that are victims of Bashar Al Assad's regime or the rebels. It depends on who you ask. It was up to Obama to convince the nation that war with Syria was in American interests and he botched that up royally. If you are in favor of intervention let me ask you the following:

  • 1.Obama has made it clear there will be no regime change. If that is the case what is the objective?


  • 2.It would take a lot of our soldiers to guard these chemical weapons thus spreading American preparedness even more thin. If we are spread too thin aren't we asking for trouble?


  • 3.If the president actually gave a fuck he would have given a fuck about getting the answers concerning Benghazi but he doesn't. All he wants to do is cover it up. Why should we trutst him?


  • 4.Why should our sons,nephews,fathers,uncles and male cousins fill up Arlington Cemetary to prop up an unpopular president?


  • Not only that but who are these rebels? Are they pro-American? We don't know. Are they pro-Al Qadea? Again we don't know. That's just it: why put in a new govenment that may just turn around and burn our flag in a few years? Not only that by if Obama really cared he would go after those terrorists that murdered our ambassador in Benghazi,Libya. He would have the support of not only Congress but the people as well. But we know he won't and do you know why he won't? Because if he did he would be placing not only his head on the chopping block but his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's head on it too. If he did that he would be derailing Hillary's chances in 2016 (there are a lot people that love Hillary and who want her to capture the presidency. Thankfully there are a lot of people like myself that hate Hillary Clinton and never want to see her in the Whitehouse. One such group is the Stop Hillary PAC,check them out.) Obama is a lame duck but Hillary is the Democrat's future.

    The Syria resolution has been debated in the Senate. It is so very unpopular in the House they won't even bring it up. Russian President Vladmir Putin bypassed Obama and went straight to the American people by writing an OP-ED that was published in the New York Times. Which goes to show that Putin understands how the American system works. He must have learned this in KGB spy school. Putin is making sense,more sense than Obama. Assad is not an American ally but he's not in Al Qadea's camp either. If he is removed will the jihadists take his place? That is a big unknown. We were wrong about the arab spring which turned out to be springtime for Al Qadea. Assad says he is turning over all his chemical weapons to the international community but is he? Is he going to hold on to some for insurance reasons? Will we know if is being honest or deceitful? No. Will he be honest with us? No,but he will with the Russians and he will do their bidding and right now the Russians don't want the jihadists in power. Did everyone get that: THE RUSSIANS DO NOT WANT AL QADEA IN POWER IN SYRIA. It would also be in our best interests to deny Al Qadea a base thus we and the Russians have the same goal in denying a base to Al Qadea. Let's get to the crux of the matter. Let's get to the skinny. Obama doesn't give two fucks about Syria. He just needs something to get the country's attention in a positive way and to distract the Republicans from wanting to impeach his ass. In short Obama is as popular as a turd in a punchbowl and if he were white he would be in prison by now. Even Pat Buchanan agrees with Putin and since when are Buchanan and the Russians on the same page about anything? Not only that we have no international support other than France. Which brings up another point: since when have the French given a fuck about us in recent times? Syria is a hornets' nest and it is one hornets' nest we should avoid. If you agree that we should avoid military intervention in Syria click here. If you are a 20 something liberal who believes in what Obama is doing then go talk to your Viet Nam war vet grandfather and he'll tell you he's seen this before. Syria is another Viet Nam but let us learn our lesson from Viet Nam and stay out of Syria. It's just not worth it.
