I Am Confused about Syria....



.....now that SOS Kerry says this response is in the USA best interest in regards to National Security.


If you want to know my opinion I don't feel any less safe then I did on 9/10/2001.

I do not support one missile being fired off of a US Navy ship. I think this will be the single event that the world will turn against us and on us. I think attacking Syria wil;l be the start of a threat on our Nation Security.


I am sadden that Obama and Kerry are now retracting past statements they made regarding situations like this.

easy to tear up and see through with the least effort.

Nobody understands Syria, not even the people who are all fighting. It's more of a cross tribal donnybrook than an organized revolution as we understand revolution in the west.

We don't really know who to shoot at over the Sarin. It's easy to lose control of those things when someone from the same family and tribe shows up and bribes the guard.

There is nothing good that can come of this, for ourselves or for the Syrians.

All we're doing is insuring that the next big war will be fought right here.
