My man posted this on F.B in the hopes of prompting Syria discussions....
Obama has painted himself into a corner with this Syrian red line in the sand statement he made. Now he's in a downward spiraling diplomatic mess with Russia and the US is loosing international credibility due to lack of action. This nonsensical world police moral high ground visa vie chemical weapons that he is pushing seems in stark contrast to the tens of thousands that have died in this civil war due to conventional weapons being used over the last 2 years. Kill people sure! no problem as long as you don't use chemical weapons!!! I said nooo to that. The actual situation on the ground is far more complicated than what the news outlets are painting. The rebel forces are being backed by Islamic jihadi fighters. Who just yesterday said they do not want US assistance. The Assad regime is backed by Iran as well. What we have here is essentially a Sunni v Shiite... US v Russia... communist vs capitalist... Christan v Islamic ....rich vs poor proxy war with the potential of destabilizing the middle east and seriously damaging US Russian relations if the super powers get involved. Clearly Putin is not Gorbachev. Is Obama seriously stupid enough to go it alone and attack Syria with out the UN backing? (Agreed the UN veto system is fundamentally flawed and will always result in a deadlock and non action). Obama needs to put his thinking cap on, take note of what happened (continues to happen) in Iraq and curb the egotistical moral high ground bull!@#!.
