Syria and Russia - Not Our Allies, Not Even Close

I don't care who does what on whom in Syria because both the Regime and the Rebels are our enemies.

The whole deal with Russia is a distraction. Russia is not our ally, so what will Russia do during chemical weapons inspections; flip a quarter. The odds are 50/50 and not only that, they shouldn't matter.

It shouldn't matter because we shouldn't be the world's policeman when we are starkly in debt.  We need to stop making excuses for ouselves to raise the debt ceiling, and get things under fiscal control. 

I am surprised that President Obama is still pushing for war despite Russia's action.  I would have thought that he was looking for a way to back out of the chemicals weapons corner that he put himself in.

One of my Facebook friends posted the following truth that I think is very important before we go into this war, and why we should not go to war, even for a short period.

Mish Shedlock notes the quote of the day goes to Abby Martin who says "We're killing Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong.". I (my Facebook friend) would modify the quote slightly to: "We're killing Syrians to Show Syria that IMPROPERLY Killing Syrians is Wrong."

Does Kerry Have A Conscience?

I can't believe Kerry is on board with bombing the Syrians. I would have expected him to resign. I voted him for President. This action, bombing the Syrians, is something he is saying is something that only someone with a conscience would do.

The way I see it is that the people of Syria had no good choice! Most of the people we are going to bomb had no other choice but to be in the Syrian military or be a rebel. Those in the military were just following orders where the price for disobedience was death. The other alternative, being a rebel, was never really an alternative at all, as that also carried with it the death penalty. Either side you may choose if you are a Syrian is a death penalty because President Obama is only going to be kicking Syria, our enemy, when they are down. This military action by us is far from courageous.

Napoleon's quote: "When you're enemy is making mistakes, don't stop them in the middle."

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

To President Barrack Obama: Don't Let Syria Use Us

Barrack Obama is coming across as rather clueless with respect to Syria. Death count should be more important than whether or not chemical weapons were used. Secondly, who cares what kind of weapons where used? Weapons are weapons, I see no reason to distinguish between the type of weapon used and the way that should relate to our foreign policy, as one weapon that causes death is as another weapon that causes death. Really, the difference is only cosmetics. Additionally, I believe that if anyone should help Syria it should be another Muslim nation, as I have no desire for us to save a bunch of people, the Syrians, and then have them hate us for it, calling us infidels.

All Syria wants to do with us is to use us. Most likely, Syria has no desire ever to help us, but the converse it that they would probably want to terrorize us, if they had the means. The Bible says to help your neighbor if they are stuck in the mud, even if they are your enemy. However, why is it that the entire would looks to us, the USA for help. We have too many of our own problems to be able to help Syria. Someone other than the USA should help Syria because we can't be the life support system of the entire world.
