This Assad bastard needs to go down, but what is the best way?

Assad is a PoS, but he's a secular PoS and the last thing we need is for a Muslim Brotherhood PoS to take over.

As it is right now, the majority sand monkey countries can never agree on much of anything or work together.

If they are all being run by the MB, then it'll be easier for them to come to agreement and work together on such things as say ......... invading Israel.

You're right. These were the same concerns when the whole Arab Spring took off. And one by one, they are falling into the paws of Allah. Maybe if they do unite, they'd be easier to kill. No collateral damage?

Give enough to keep the fight there going, and to keep casualties high on both sides.

Works for me. For all I care, you could build a wall around the place, air lift in rifles and ammunition, and call back in 10 years to see who won.

We need to go into the Middle East with a heavy hand, before Iran unites them all into an Islamic nuclear power super state, that threatens the entire world.

If we go in full force now we can win, as opposed to waiting until they are united, stronger and have nukes.

It's time for the tenth Holy Crusade....

This has its' good points. (IMHO) This will be the ultimate outcome of the ME unrest, as Iran is posturing more daily.

Supplying arms...within reason, I have no issues. Assad as been a PITA for us and others. I think a little payback is justified.

I'm personally not for another crusade. But you could take what we've been accused of taking before. Twice I believe.

Personally, I think the next time we want to wage war on a muslim country, we should immediately enter into nuclear arms reduction talks with them, even if they don't have any. I think we could easily lower our stockpiles by 10 or 30 multiple re-entry vehicle weapons systems in exchange for them stopping what they are doing.

We are one or two glass parking lots away for another 40 years of peace in the mideast.

I'm not keen on another ME engagement. Regardless, I think taking money that were presently dishing out to Libya, Egypt, and others in the ME and using it to pay down debt would be a wise move.

Wise words as always.

I was hoping Turkey would lay the pimp hand down.

Assad is the Iranian Mullahs pawn, the rebels are supported by Al-Quaeda like groups.

The more they massacre each other the better for the rest of the world.

GAFinch · 10-08-2012, 08:51

Arm the rebels just enough to match Iranian and Russian armament, but stay out of there. Love to see Iran's conduit into the ME cut off, but don't want to help the Muslim Brotherhood accelerate their caliphate plans either.

Mr. brilliant diplomat, what would you say, (if russians, after watching this intrusion in their area, would start support, for example, mexican rebels, or whoever around the USA), except: "You not suppose to do it to us, it's not fare!"

We could then arm the Mexican government to counter the rebels, assuming that the Russians were once again supporting a widely condemned entity.

The Arab League doesn't support aiding Assad. The UN doesn't. Europe doesn't. The US doesn't. Have you considered that there's a reason why so many don't?

Then we'd act surprised when the Mexicans start shooting at Americans. Oh wait, we already tried that. It was called Fast and Furious.

Let's keep arming our enemies then act surprised when it comes back to bite us! Like always....

Easy. All those above organizations are working together in an effort to take over Iran's resources and economy. All are under Western central bank control, while Syria and Iran are not and Syria is an Iranian ally.
