August 2l - It is a terrible reality the world has not effectively dealt with, but, it is not the burden of the USA alone.
Regime evidence, not chain of command evidence - which is worrisome. Assad is fairly secure. I would not be surprised if he is in Dubai on a regular basis and perhaps has his family there. So, considering these commanders are on the ground and threatened and losing soldiers, they become desperate and override the orders of Assad. It is a problem, but, that is civil war. I don't like being jerked around by rebels. There was a report earlier that the rebels were disappointed in their ability to launch surprise attacks on the heels of USA missiles. Really? That to me is more and more reason to worry about what is actually involved here. Why do we know what rebels are saying and not Assad until Charlie Rose asked him to give an interview.
There is also the issue of the rebels believing there will never be complete accountability of the chemical weapons. How do they know that? Either that is an opinion or what EXACTLY are the facts to that statement.
Violation of international law - No it is not. I just isn't. An abhorrence to the international community, but, it is not illegal. It is a human rights violation and it may very well be a war crime if these exposures were carried out without consent of President Assad. But, it is not illegal.
Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons and it effects our national security because our soldiers could face them and they threaten allies. There are no facts in that statement.
"In the national security interests of the USA...for a targeted strike..."We will not tolerate their use"...demonstration to the world - The world doesn't need a demonstration. They had one in Iraq for a long time.
Important questions
"Would this put this on a slippery slope, ie: Iraq?" = No American boots on the ground in Syria, not Libya, not Kosovo "Targeted Strike" - There is NO guarantee this won't lead to a greater war. Every statement coming from the White House excludes the fact Russia is watching. China is watching. Europe is now looking for diplomatic options. The USA has no support and there is every reason to believe the USA will run into resistance and abandonment if the diplomatic arena is not exercised to it's maximum. There is NO LIMIT here for a diplomatic solution, until the international community states there is one.
"Is it worth acting if we don't take out Assad" - the USA doesn't do pin pricks.
EXACTLY THE PROBLEM.
Retaliation - The Assad regime doesn't have the capacity to challenge our military.
CORRECT.
Assad's ally is Russia.
Hello?
Waiting for the diplomatic effort to be stated, so far there is no reason for me to agree.
"We should not be the world's policeman."
So, why are we the world's policeman, President Obama has been in office over 4 years and we are still the world's police. I didn't hear an adequate answer.
Keep rallying, but, let's get back to the nation's business. And the USA does not need war mongering in it's State Department.
Attacks into Syria is not just. NO ONE KNOWS who released the GD weapons. Jezze.
There are terrible things every place, including the USA.
God bless you, too. It wasn't the best speech, probably among the worst.
The USA is NOT an anchor, the legislative branch allowed banks to bankrupt the world, that is not a global anchor.
Andrea Mitchell is a war monger. The meeting was cancelled because Russia wants reassurances the USA will not strike anyway. She won't say that though, will she. She has an hour of power once a day and I've yet to find useful dialogue.
"How do you enforce it?" Don't worry Andrea it isn't your job.
Here we go, "...al Qaeda terrorists...the USA is best prepared in the whole world...." INTERPRETATION : "INVADE SYRIA JUST LIKE IRAQ."
It is not easy to deal with the Russians. Oh. And it is easy to deal with the USA.INTERPRETATION: Russia can't be trusted. Well, guess what? The USA invades nations illegally and immorally. Hello?
"The Assad government is the legitimate government of Syria according to Russia." Ah, there is another one? Oh, wait, there are nations that don't recognize Assad as if Israel. NOT. That is not the case. Syria is a sovereign nation that is recognized by most map makers. Most of those same map makers put Israel in there, too. That is the question of recognition. Assad has been a LEGITIMATE leader of the nation for a long time preceded by his father. I reject that statement.
The American people need to say "NO" to it's military.
We don't belong in Syria.
We never did.
