That works for me. Personally, I think we should just turn around and come back home and let them fight it out on their own. I certainly wouldn't take sides with the savages. Our country is broke and can't afford another war. We should quit playing big brother. If the Saudis or anyone else wants war, then they should send their sheiks over there and let them fight. -
And our govt leaders want to partner up with the rebels? See how they treat their prisoners.

Jeff Duncan Totally Rips John Kerry A "New One" At Syria Hearing
During House committee hearings relating to President Barack Obama's proposed intervention into the Syrian civil war, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) tore into Secretary of State John Kerry over the administration's "credibility problem" which he said stems from their response to the attack on a consulate in Benghazi. Duncan insisted that the White House's reluctance to provide support for American service personnel in Benghazi suggests that the House should not approve action in Syria and invite history to repeat itself. "I cannot discuss the possibility of the U.S. involvement without talking about Benghazi," Duncan began. "The administration has a serious credibility issue with the American people."
He produced a picture of Tyrone Woods, a slain Navy SEAL who lost his life in the Benghazi attack. He raised his voice describing how his constituents, including a class of 8th graders, told him that America has no national interest in intervening in the Syrian civil war.
"The same administration that was so quick to involve the U.S. in Syria now was reluctant to use the same resources at its disposal to attempt a rescue to four brave Americans that fought for their lives in Benghazi," he insisted.
Kerry replied forcefully. "I'm not going to sit here and be told by you that I don't have a set of — a sense of what the judgment is," he replied. "We are talking about people being killed by gas and you want to go talk about Benghazi and Fast and Furious."
"This is not about getting into the Syrian civil war," he continued "This is about enforcing the principle that people shouldn't be allowed to gas their citizens with impunity."
"And if we don't vote to do this, [Bashar] Assad will interpret from you that he's free to go and do this any day he wants to," Kerry concluded.Comment

US officials: US considers training Syria rebels
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering a plan to use U.S. military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the Syrian rebels, in a move that would greatly expand the current CIA training being done quietly in Jordan, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Any training would take place outside Syria, and one possible location would be Jordan.
The officials said no decision had been made, but that discussions were going on at high levels of the government. It comes as the Obama administration prods Congress to authorize limited military strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's government in retaliation for a deadly Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack.
The proposal to use the U.S. military to train the rebels — something the administration has resisted through more than two years of civil war — would answer the demands of some lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to do more to train and equip the Syrian opposition. President Barack Obama in June decided to provide lethal aid to the rebels, but so far none of that assistance has gotten to the opposition.
Officials said Thursday that talk about a military training mission has increased but that there have been no specific Pentagon recommendations forwarded to the White House on how big it should be or how many troops it should involve.
The CIA has been training select groups of rebels in Jordan on the use of communications equipment and some weapons provided by Gulf states. The new discussions center on whether the U.S. military should take over the mission so that hundreds or thousands can be trained, rather than just dozens.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plan publicly.
Maybe Russian and China should supply arms and training to the American rebels trying to overthrow their government.Last edited by cyclonescott; 09-05-2013, 08:16 PM.Comment

Bowing out will lead to more blowback, you don't know what kind of deals we've worked out with the Saudis or their hired guns. I just wish Assad would do something really crazy like invading Kuwait so the rest of the world would back us.Originally posted by matts5.0 View PostComment

Stop me if you've heard this one before:
Iran threatens brutal attacks on Americans, Obama family if US hits Syria
As Congress debates whether to support President Obama’s call for a limited strike against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons, Iran is vowing to back Bashar al-Assad’s regime to the hilt and threatening to unleash terrorism should the U.S. strike.
Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Forces, Wednesday told the Assembly of Experts — the body that chooses the supreme leader — that “[w]e will support Syria to the end.”
And in an unprecedented statement, a former Iranian official has warned of mass abductions and brutal killings of American citizens around the world and the rape and killing of one of Obama’s daughters should the United States attack Syria.
Alireza Forghani, the former governor of southern Iran’s Kish Province, threw down the gauntlet last week. Forghani is an analyst and strategy specialist in the supreme leader’s camp and closely aligned with Mehdi Taeb, who heads the regime’s Ammar Strategic Base, a radical think thank, and thus speaks with the blessing of the Islamic regime.
“Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the … loss of U.S. interests [through terrorist attacks],” he threatened. “In just 21 hours [after the attack on Syria], a family member of every U.S. minister [department secretary], U.S. ambassadors, U.S. military commanders around the world will be abducted. And then 18 hours later, videos of their amputation will be spread [around the world].”
A similar act was committed in a video of the torture of William Buckley, a CIA station chief who was abducted in Beirut in 1984 and later killed by Hezbollah on Iran’s order. That video was dropped off at the U.S. Embassy in Athens. Former CIA Director William Casey later described what he saw in the video: “They had done more than ruin his body. His eyes made it clear his mind had been played with. It was horrific, medieval and barbarous.”Comment
