"Syria is a national security risk to the USA" -- President Obama

[JollyRoger]

You cannot win a war, unless you are willing to kill your enemies.
That is the lasting legacy of Barak Obama.

What war has Obama started and lost?

You left out inherited

Raze Syria, send settlers and found a new city on the ruins. Barack could make Sid proud.

Cant be done. Hell Russian could not even handle Chetzya
The PR was killing them.

That would be the legacy of the guy that started those wars against third world dead enders and couldn't finish them of in 6 days, 6 weeks, or even 6 months. At least Obama was willing to kill bin Laden.

That's spelled Czechoslovakia.

I'm so glad we voted in a Democratic after Bush, I mean the policies are sooo different.

And we know which nation has plenty of settlers.

Doesn't he mean Chechnya?

But wait. Russia kind of did handle Chechnya. Not in a pleasant way though.

Probably. Not everyone knows the difference though.

Libya.

 

[JollyRoger]

Libya was a war and a loss? You learn something new every day. Anyway, for that engagement, I seems we were willing to kill people.

Actually no. I will blame the guy who lost the war

If we are going by this definition, then neither of the wars President Bush started were lost.

 

[Winston Hughes]

I mean, it's totally OK to kill people by *these* means, just not to kill people by *those* means. Sure, they're still dead, but if you do it by acceptable, agreed upon weapons, then it's totally fine, and no one has to feel icky about it.

Some weapons are crueler than others, and some weapons are more indiscriminate than others. Chemical weapons rate just about as high as it's possible to get on both scales.

It's quite straightforward to make a case against intervention in Syria without relying on wrong-headed assertions that all weapons are morally identical.

The mental gymnastics required to construe the situation in Syria as a direct national security risk to USA #1 are worthy of Olympic gold.

The Olympics don't have a Platinum medal, although I appreciate the special effort it takes to twist we must help the terrorists in Syria to we must defend ourselves from the terroristic threats to our security.
