    Kamala Harris was not informed prior to the Syrian bombing and is very upset about being left out of the loop, per WH official
    I wonder if Joe was informed?

    That second quote is not something I posted, how did you do that?

    I see you now changed it. Still not sure how you had me in quotes posting something that I never wrote

    Republicans don't give a crap about who dies in war on what country is the target. The only thing that matters is republican vs. democrat president.

    The only thought that enters their minds when when contemplating killing a group of people is the political background of the president. A republican could order a missile strike on a school for the blind, and the repubs will say it had to be done.

    You have changed the quote repeatedly, what kind of games are you playing ?

    I don’t defend Iran. The lefties are the one who are suddenly pro bombing now that Biden is pres, but we’re claiming for 4 years that Trump was starting a world war.

    I’ve always been pro bombing. Preferably with minimum civilian casualties and ones that won’t result in escalation

    Ya know....I was with your until this......."Enough conservatives have come back in body bags for no apparent reason to sour most of them on stupid wars for billionaire profit." Hmm, bullets are selective and can recognise a soldier's political persuasion?

    I'm against being in Syria at all. And no, I'm not being biblical(although, who knows with the mess of nations over there.). I'm being strategic. Nothing good comes out of a greater Syrian conflict, and that's what we'd be doing with little actions here and there, escalating the conflict.

    The ME Clown Show continues .. Say no more .. We have no idea if this was an "Iranian Backed Militia" - did Iran claim responsibility ?

    - and why attack them in Syria .. if you want to attack Iran - attack them in Iran - did Biden not already cause enough problems in Syria under Obama - war crimes - crimes against humanity .. No secret why we are not well liked in the region .. time to get out.

    Yep. This has nothing to do with Iranian-backed militias. It's all about toppling Assad and destabilizing Syria, which will thoroughly tick off Russia, and then China.

    Bush toppled Saddam Hussein and destabilized Iraq, leaving a vacuum of power.
    Obama toppled Qaddafi and destabilized Libya, leaving a vacuum of power.
    Now it's Biden's turn to topple Assad, leaving a dangerous power vacuum. Iran will be happy to take over that area.

    No American can defend Hussein, Qaddafi, or Assad, but we sure do make a mess for all the innocent people "over there" (including killing innocent civilians) when we dabble in other countries' sovereign interests, destroy their cities, and leave them with less than they had before.

    No wonder many of those countries hate American political war mongers and would like a pay back or "reparations" on American soil.

    No doubt, if Biden takes out Assad, we won't be bringing the Syrian Christians who Assad has protected. We'll get the radicalized asylees who hate us.

    I'm not being biblical either....just because everything is shaping up just like the book of Revelations predicted. <nervous laugh>

    No kidding...

    But, don't forget...

    These are the Same People who "Predicted" a "Trump Landslide"...:roflol:

    And, how did that work out?

    Anyway, once again, I support this move.

    Our options in Syria may range from Assad slaughtering civilians to an ISIS type group taking over the country, if we leave.

    Twitter usually has some interesting comments from "ordinary people" on current event situations.

    Seriously, on that last one, if the war mongers had any intention of dabbling around in Syria in order to allow Syrian refugees to return home to their own country, I'd say "Dabble away." We know that is not the intent of the war-hawks though, given their history.

    I unlike you, want the ultimate protection of our troops. I want them home and not on needless proxy wars that never end.
