Today marked the single deadliest attack to date in the Syrian capital of Damascus. At least 55 dead and another 370 injured, as both sides blame the other for the violence that came from two suicide car bombers. The deadly attacks and finger-pointing following the incident give further credence to critics who believe the policy applied by international mediator Kofi Annan has failed. Debate on whether the United States should take on an increased military role to end the bloodshed carried out by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime has been an ongoing conversation on “Real News.”
On Thursday, two panelists presented their opposing views on how the United States should handle the situation in a more literal debate style than previous shows.
From one podium, S.E. Cupp said the time has come for the American military step-in and put Assad down, for this not just a Syrian crisis.
“With revelations that Al-Qaida is moving in to capitalize on this new round of chaos, Syrian stability is in everyone’s best interest,” said Cupp. Going on to add that it is “our moral obligation to do everything we can to end the genocide in Syria.”
While agreeing with Cupp that what is going in Syria is horrible, Buck Sexton argues that to accomplish S.E.’s goals, the United States would have to participate in a military intervention. Sexton argues such an intervention would be incredibly messy and difficult, and at best would end with a lengthy military occupation and inevitable insurgency.
“I’m not suggesting that nothing should be done in Syria,” Buck argued. “What I would suggest is an indirect policy, this is not something to be scoffed at.”

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 8:53amShould we live in fear and trembling of Al Kinda and Muslim Bro’s? Should we let them do whatever they want all over the world? Is this how we would deal with a pest infestation? Let is get worse and out of control?

Posted on May 12, 2012 at 2:25pmAs much as most of you seam to hate / distrust atheists and those they associate with I have to ask why Beck is being given a pass for hiring an atheist like S.E. Cupp.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 8:45amHomosexuality is not scientific. God created science. God created order. Science is good.
God does not tell us to reject unbelievers. Christians are instructed very clearly on this subject. Those that call themselves Christians, but try to change God’s Word are the enemies.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 9:07pm“WE have a moral obligation”? Uh huh. We have a moral obligation to think about what these wars are doing to the people actually fighting them S.E. Her life wouldn’t be affected by it at all. How about the people that lose their husbands or fathers. Or the husbands/fathers that lose their minds? It’s a CIVIL WAR and not our business.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 9:04pmHow is it “moral” to give aid — other than humanitarian aid — in a civil war or uprising against a despot when, no matter which side prevails, the winner will be controlled by Muslim extremists and therefore our enemy, ideologically and physically.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 9:27pmYeah we dont have a good track record on picking the right people. Saddam and Bin Laden to name two. Oh and then supporting the Libya rebels something worse rises. We help the Egyptians oust Mobarrak and we get something a lot worse.
Wake up NEOCONS, we cannot fix the world. We need to worry about ourselves.

If Syria can and wants to attack the United States, declare war and remove them from the face of the earth. Until then, let those animals kill each other.
