What’s everyone’s opinions on this matter (the goings on, sending drones, Obama, etc)
September 22, 2013 5:01 am at 5:01 am #1042962jewishfeminist02MemberNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What’s ironic is that Obama is trying to get congressional approval to go to war, but his administration has said that it will go to war either way. It makes me wonder why he even wants congressional approval. Just so he can say he was constitutional about it? Well obviously he doesn’t plan on playing by the rules unless it’s convenient for him.

January 6, 2014 11:12 am at 11:12 am #1042965RR44Participanthe hasn’t gone to war, and hasn’t clered up the weapon, and about syria i truly do shudder.
It’s scary how a plac ewhere they’re killing hundreds every day deosn’t even make it on t the news.
January 6, 2014 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm #1042966charliehallParticipantHalf of my right wing friends are blasting Obama because they think he is siding with Assad. The other half are blasting Obama because they think he is siding with Assad’s opponents.
Obama has correctly concluded that Assad is evil incarnate and that most of his opponents are as bad or worse.
January 6, 2014 5:23 pm at 5:23 pm #1042967HaLeiViParticipantIf he correctly concluded that, why did he arm them? Sure, to conclude something after the fact is not that hard.
However, I wouldn’t put the blame on him alone. Most Republicans were upset that he didn’t go in.
There is nothing better for Arab countries than a strong government. If it means a dictator than we should settle for that. America’s stand on Mubarak was a complete failure, as is evident now. The same goes for Q/G/Kaddafi, who was practically harmless, at least as far as the west is concerned, at the time of the uprising. Now, had the US backed the more truly democratic uprising in Iran, is one thing. The lack of judgement shown by our government in international affairs is mind-boggling.
But, sure, he’s learning on the job. By the time Obama leaves office he should be ready to run for public office.
