Exposed: The Obama Invasion of Syria

[festive1]

So IS the Obama administration invading Syria?

No.

A fiew air and missle strikes are certainly not an "invasion".

Invasion would be to send troops in for the purpose of conquest.

Here, the purpose of the missle and air strikes clearly is to "punish" a regime for it`s use of chemical weapons.

The words "invasion", "no evidence" and "Al Quaida" are simply thrown arround by the Alex Jones braindead conspiracy club and the Ron Paul friends of sociopaths society.

And normally we're on the same page politically...
It's not the US's job to police Syria about their use of chemical weapons. That's the UN's and the ICC's job. Any military action against Syria, no matter how limited, would have very serious repercussions that would inevitably drag the US into further military action. The rebels in Syria are being aided by Al Queda. The Syrian government is backed by Russia, and Putin has made it clear that if strikes occur Russia will aid Syria. There is no window for a pro-US agenda no matter how the civil war shakes out, but somehow the thinking is we should do it anyway... Because bombing Syria would open a door for a pro-US agenda? Nay. I don't get it. It seems pretty simple that if you bomb a country, they aren't going to like you very much regardless if they liked the previous regime or not.

It's about "saving face." Obama drew a line in the sand with the use of chemical weapons-which is quite hypocritical considering the US's recent use of chemical weapons (white phosphorus in Iraq). It's akin to me getting pissed at my kids and telling them, "If you do that again, I'm throwing your toys in the trash!" They do it again, and, obviously, I'm not going to throw their toys away, but I end up looking the fool for making a threat that I cannot follow through on. It was/is a serious diplomatic blunder on Obama's part.
Add to this the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want the US to get involved, and are contacting their representatives to tell them so, and the representatives don't all seem to be listening. I know two of mine aren't. And you best believe that the $80,000+ my congressman received in campaign donations from the defense industry is probably why. It's becoming evident to more and more Americans that our democracy has been bought and sold to the oligarchs. It's depressing.
