    Let them ? each other with them then. I though Syria was one of the main supplier of oil to us? Why we talkin ? about them? I don't need gas prices to go up anymore $20 barely even gets me over 1/2 a tank sometimes. And how many times have we provided weapons to a people in which then get used against us?

    Can someone give me a brief description whats going on in Syria? i try not to watch the news because i find it depressing. From what i understand is they are in Civil war? but for what reasons? what is our role in this? or have we just been watching and waiting for a reason to get involved?

    Civil war over the current rulers there. I don't remember what else. Our role is to police the world and try and secure more oil at cheaper prices I think I don't know anymore. War in the middle east is pointless for anyone west of the Hellespont I will say again.

    U.S. thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

    U.S. always has ulterior motives for getting involved in other nations wars... Don't be fooled.

    John McCain is a bloodthirsty, war-mongering piece of garbage.

    He wants to arm the Syrian rebels, no questions asked...

    He wants to involve the U.S. in yet another war!!!

    But what do we really know about these so-called "rebels"?

    For all we know, they could be religious extremists trying to overthrow the Syrian government.

    But, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is labeled a ruthless dictator by the U.S. media.

    Again, how do we know that it's the Syrian army that's committing these atrocities?

    These could be terrorists posing as the Syrian army.... We don't know.

    There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for the U.S. to get involved in this.

    John McCain is the devil.

    ---- End of rant.

    Syria isn't a large producer of oil. That is partly the reason why we have not invaded. It isn't in our best interest. LOL. You think if over 70,000 had been killed in a nation like Saudi Arabia or Iraq we wouldn't be rushing to protect our "foreign interest". I'm with you however, we don't need to get involved because it will only cause another Iraq-like scenario. Perhaps even more protracted and dangerous with it being such a close ally to Iran. There's just to many risk factors that spell chaos if this nation gets militarily involved over there.

    Lol that ? openly said “We don’t permit any country in the world, near or far, to interfere in the Syrian decision, Any military action against Syria will have much more implications that they can bear.”

    U.S politicians aren't the only evil ? on earth lol. That Assad ? is popping ? . Obama need to go head and handle that. But going into Iran or Syria at this point is ww3. They're not playing that ? at all. At best its gonna be the U.S giving the rebels supplies and aid. I don't think their about to drop soldiers in there unless there's complete worldwide backing.

    so it's entirely possible this is a sign you need to read up on Syria a little
    U.S. thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
    ...
    [John McCain] wants to arm the Syrian rebels, no questions asked...
    He wants to involve the U.S. in yet another war!!!
    to be fair:
    a. Iraq had a history of having them and using them, and definitely played up having them to impress their neighbors, so it was not the most illogical assumption;
    b. McCain supposedly wants no boots on the ground. now i actually have an issue with this notion of "we can resolve all problems through the magic of AIR POWER," but that aside, it's POSSIBLE he wants more of a Libya scenario and less of an Iraq scenario.

    rest assured that Obama has been busily walking back his red line so as to avoid doing anything
