Let's see..... two years ago, cpwill said that we should go in just enough to secure Syria's WMD stockpiles and facilities, and remove them, and provide security for refugees trying to flee the fighting.
....now, the regime (and possibly the opposition, who is heavily infused with Al Qaeda) are using those stockpiles of WMD's, and over 100,000 people have been killed....
additionally and perhaps equally or more significantly, the United States has just demonstrated in the worst possible way that it is a feckless, weak-willed nation unwilling to actually back it's talk (at least, under the current administration). The value of the U.S. Security Guarantee just got seriously degraded the world over. Do you know what the most important thing about a threat is? You have to be willing to back it up.
I was for helping the rebels in Syria when things first broke out but Obama has now procrastinated so long that this thing has morphed into something different and Alquiada has filled in the vacuum we left. At this point I say it's a hornets nest we should stay far away from.
Well Obama's red line has been crossed and we went into Libya for far less so what do you think? "Residents of Damascus suburbs recount massive assault by Assad army; videos show small children convulsing on the floor, foaming at the nose and mouth. Doctor: Injuries correspond with sarin gas "
"The men, women and children lying undisturbed in their beds had looked so peaceful they might have been just sleeping, Abu Nidal thought, as he and other rescuers dragged their bodies into the street."
"His was one of many accounts of a massive assault on the eastern suburbs of Damascus that activists say killed more than 500 people on Wednesday morning. They say some of the bombs were loaded with chemical agent, which would make it the worst chemical attack since the conflict began"

Obama's foreign policy and diplomatic positioning is a joke. It proves he is clueless, looking for someone to love him. He is useless. These deaths are on his hands, during his watch. Let's see if he's gonna throw another "It's Bush's fault" at us. The rodeo clown had a better grasp.
Should we go into Syria and...do what exactly?Well Obama's red line has been crossed and we went into Libya for far less so what do you think?

Should we go into Syria and...do what exactly?
What exactly are we being polled about?
Taking over Syria?
Providing military support to some faction in Syria?
Establishing a base for humanitarian activities?
Some "peacekeeping" mission?
To sell popcorn?
Were the bombs loaded with chemical agents or did the bombs strike the rebels poison gas laboratory? It was the rebels that used gas previously and that is documented. I don't believe US.UK, or French press about anything Syria related. We are the bad guys in Syria. Face it, just like the Nazis.
[/Blet's see....we've got two sets of bad guys killing each other. should we send young (and in many cases not so young) american men and women into harm's way to stop it? hell no. I say let 'em fight it out and then go in and sweep up the pieces. Set up a couple of wal-marts and costcos
My only complaint is with Obama. If you are going to draw a line in the sand...have the ****ing balls and be prepared to back it up if/when the line is crossed. If you don't.....keep your ****ing mouth shut.
Let them, Syrians, deal with it.
An intervention could fire up WW3.
This is so serious.
I wouldn't say we should stay far from it - I maintain that we can help provide security at the borders of our allies, protect fleeing refugees, and (if possible) deter WMD use. But yeah, I'd be pretty skeptical about arming the rebels at this point. I'd rather just bomb the regime.
