Disproportionate Body Count, but Israel Is Not Overreacting to Hamas

Israel is not overeating to Hamas rockets, or the cold blooded murder that started the current military campaign.  The hypocrisy of the nations really bothers me with respect to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.  In war, no sane nation ever hopes for equal body counts on either side, yet for many Jew haters they complain that the body count lopsided  Any country that wants to survive would use disproportionate use of force to stop a conflict.  For example, if Cape Cod, where I live, was shooting rockets Boston, we could expect that Boston wouldn’t stop retaliating until the rockets were no longer being launched.

Let's Stay Away From The Syria Hell Hole! (random thoughts)

Alright, so Assad, the commander chief of Syria ordered the use of chemical weapons through his troops. What were his troops supposed to say? "No?" They would probably be shot by a firing squad for disobeying Assad. So, what is Obama's response? Bomb the heck out of troops that really had no other choice than to use the chemical weapons. WTF What are we getting out of attacking the Assad's troops?

Don't forget China backs Iran and Syria. It could be devastating to us if China dumped our debt.

Obama is a man that lives by his word. He foolishly made chemical weapons the line of demarcation. If he gets his way, by his word we will attack. Frankly, even now there are worse places on earth than Syria, take for instance the Congo.

Attacking Syria, a practically worthless bunch of Islamic radicals, nearly promises that Iran gets involved. Why on earth are we risking getting Iran involved over this petty nation Syria.

And, don't forget Iran's promised attack on Israel.

Where Is Endgame In Syria?

If you have been following the situation in Syria, then you probably know that whether Assad is in power or the rebels are in power, neither is an ideal situation.  In fact, sitting back and thinking, perhaps the situation now is ideal.  We have the rebels taking up Assad’s attention, such that Syria’s hands are tied. 

We don’t like Syria because they say only Muslims should rule, or at least practically all of the people of Syria.  Personally, I don’t consider Islamic rule as ideal, such that I don’t see any sort of world advantage war in Syria will gain for the USA.

I can’t say that I agree with the use of chemical weapons, but I don’t see use of chemical weapons as a line of demarcation where it becomes paramount that the U.S. gets involved.  Please Congress, send a message to the President that we do not want another war.  If it is true that the Syrian’s are willing to use them on their own people speaks volumes for how low of a nation this country is.

Strangely, this is coming at a time where we are thinking of raising the debt ceiling again.  I am wondering if there was foul play and Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, but some other party used them, so that the President and Congress can gain the patriotic momentum that they will need to raise the debt ceiling through war.  We won’t be able to go to war in Syria if we don’t raise the debt ceiling. 

Remember, this was the time that the Republicans were going to put down their foot on the issue of the debt ceiling.  But, will they put down their foot at the risk of not having another war?  The Republicans have long been the party that is more trigger happy than the Democrats.  So, will we go to war?  The answer is yes, and only because someone has played the war card in Syria, throwing House Republicans in a tizzy.  They can’t be the world policeman if they vote against raising the debt ceiling!!!

So where should the endgame be?:  The endgame should be now! 9/2/2013
