I'll tell you what--I won't be distracted by your trying to make this about me, instead of the OP, and the fact that you don't care for an analogy.

This thread isn't about ME, it is about a young man named Bashir, who makes his brutal father Hafiz look like a pussycat.

This is about the wholesale slaughter, in the most painfully excruciating fashion, of innocent civilians using chemical weapons, by a brutal dictator taking shortcuts to roust his opponents.

If you want to talk about analogies, and Republicans, and make snide inferences directed at ME instead of the issue, that scream "I have NO REAL ARGUMENT!!!" you go right on ahead. Believe me, I'll get over it and I'll note what you're doing.

Oh whatever! iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #1

Dropping MORE bombs is the answer? You can not bomb your way to peace. Civilization2 Aug 2013 #14

in theory iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #18

How about stop interfering in local politics in other lands? Civilization2 Aug 2013 #29

So you're solution is having the one side killed off? Renew Deal Aug 2013 #21

Statements that begin with "so" are generally straw men Warpy Aug 2013 #25

If you drop them on the airfields where bombs are launched, sure. MADem Aug 2013 #34

Your analogy is very telling. Quantess Aug 2013 #68

Well, I have used other analogies, too--but you go ahead and smug it on up. MADem Aug 2013 #70

Like the WMDs in Iraq? How did that work out again? Oh yeah,. millions dead and civil war unleashed! Civilization2 Aug 2013 #71

Oh, we're gonna play the comparison game, are we? MADem Aug 2013 #72

So you do not support ending the arms sales? and the clandestine political manipulations? Civilization2 Aug 2013 #74

Here is what I think. I think that the Yemen Scenario is the way to go; and the governmental MADem Aug 2013 #75

insults and claims of superior knowledge,. how quaint. Perhaps it is you who "needs to learn/read". Civilization2 Aug 2013 #77

Apparently you have trouble with the term "regime change?" MADem Aug 2013 #80

I have trouble with your pushing of WAR. You continue to insult while claiming the opposite,. Civilization2 Aug 2013 #81

Well, I am not "pushing WAR" but thanks for playing and a lovely day to you as well. MADem Aug 2013 #82

No backtracking from you? No saying, "hey, you're right, that was a bad analogy". Quantess Aug 2013 #78

Nope, you'll just have to live with that. MADem Aug 2013 #79

Any snide inference was imagined, on your part. Quantess Aug 2013 #83

I am not insulted in the slightest....but thanks for your concern! nt MADem Aug 2013 #84

Nice to hear you got over it so quickly. Quantess Aug 2013 #85

I was referring to talking about me and analogies, rather than the issue at hand. MADem Aug 2013 #86

Okay. I'm sure we will both get over it and move on. Quantess Aug 2013 #87

Certainly about a hundred nukes would bring peace to this planet Plucketeer Aug 2013 #49

Too young for Shock and Awe, eh? GeorgeGist Aug 2013 #40

So when are you enlisting? dkf Aug 2013 #2

The War Faps n/t arcane1 Aug 2013 #51

What's a "war fap"? MrMickeysMom Aug 2013 #54

"Fap" means masturbating. It was a joke based on your "furiously wanking off" remark. arcane1 Aug 2013 #60

Was there ever actual evidence of "rape rooms" or "mobile biological weapons?" Renew Deal Aug 2013 #22

Yes horrifying dipsydoodle Aug 2013 #5

Well then iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #6

Wow buddy. iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #13

I responded simply in connection with THIS OP. dipsydoodle Aug 2013 #19

LMAO. iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #20

I generally only ever watch old swing dancing videos and such music on Youtube. dipsydoodle Aug 2013 #26

None of your posts conclusively show who carried out the attacks. AtheistCrusader Aug 2013 #43

Are you suggesting it is staged? Renew Deal Aug 2013 #23

There is nothing in the video to confirm its location or date of occurence. dipsydoodle Aug 2013 #30

I hope all witnesses to atrocities have the memory Hayabusa Aug 2013 #35

I question which side pulled the trigger. AtheistCrusader Aug 2013 #44

I do too Renew Deal Aug 2013 #48

Are you saying that the answer to Assad bombing Syria is the U.S. bombing Syria? KurtNYC Aug 2013 #12

i dont pretend to know the answer.. iamthebandfanman Aug 2013 #16

Inaction is unacceptable - we need to act. DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #33

Target the al Qaeda terrorists instead. David__77 Aug 2013 #57

You care about something that isn't actually known. AtheistCrusader Aug 2013 #45

this is the same garbage MFM008 Aug 2013 #53

Not all of the militants are FROM this area, and they didn't bring their kids. AtheistCrusader Aug 2013 #67

There's a ton of obscene atrocities going on in the world. US military intervention .... Scuba Aug 2013 #8

Sorry, BillyRibs Aug 2013 #11

Wish I could see the IP address of the OP Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #10

I'll bet you have a pretty good idea where this is originating. Scuba Aug 2013 #17

Are you suggesting that the video is staged? Renew Deal Aug 2013 #24

Nope. Scuba Aug 2013 #27

Then your suggestion that this is "originating" from Raytheon, etc., is wrong. Renew Deal Aug 2013 #28

Would it be any better if it were the US bombing the civilian targets? HubertHeaver Aug 2013 #15

It seems that video is an accurate one Warpy Aug 2013 #31

I don't get it. BobbyBoring Aug 2013 #32

It think it's also become a cultural idiom for Hayabusa Aug 2013 #37

Their concept of god is that god is unknowable Warpy Aug 2013 #41

The UN cannot act because the will of the majority is blocked by Russia and China. MADem Aug 2013 #39

That might work in a conventional war Warpy Aug 2013 #42

The goal is NOT regime change. The goal is to stop a despot from gassing people. MADem Aug 2013 #62

Nice if it works out that way Warpy Aug 2013 #65

You mean, a "coalition of the willing?" David__77 Aug 2013 #55

No--Russia and China are a crew of the unwilling blocking the will of the vast majority. MADem Aug 2013 #58

Take it to the council and the general assembly. David__77 Aug 2013 #59

Well, Brazil isn't a neighbor of Syria's; the Arab League nations-that support this action-are. nt MADem Aug 2013 #63

The US is not a neighbor either. David__77 Aug 2013 #64

We're allied with the Arab League, though--and they ARE neighbors. MADem Aug 2013 #73

US should at least take out the Syrian air force capabilities SamuelB Aug 2013 #38

a reasonable question and probable plan. good post! Divine Discontent Aug 2013 #47

Yeah, you'd probably get your hope. It could very well help al Qaeda seize more territory. David__77 Aug 2013 #61

I don't give a shit if you're anti-war or pro-war, this shit can't go without a W T F Aug 2013 #46

Syria is at war with al Qaeda. David__77 Aug 2013 #52
