Posted on February 10, 2012 at 6:18pmThe part everyone forgets, we go hit Iran without hitting Syria for the sake of 2 things one stop the nuke possibilities of Iran and second protecting Israel and others from possible nukes in the future.
Report Post »The difficult part is this if we attack Syria. Don’t forget that Hezbollah and Hamas are in that area and in Lebanon. Those 2 factions alone would be involved because of the strike against either nation Syria or Iran. That would also start a proxy war from them 2 organizations under Iran’s control against Israel thousands of those rockets raining on them like the 2006 war with Lebanon. Only in much greater numbers than the last war. Israel cannot fight a war in Iran and protect the homeland without significant help either way. And if the world does nothing it will embolden Islam like it did after the USA left Lebanon.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 9:06pmMy neighbors, on the other block, are always fighting and I think eventually they are going to get a divorce. I think it is imperative that me and my wife go down there and offer our help to whatever side, be it the husband or the wife, we feel most goes along with our own interest. And if they do not want our help we will go in and give it to them anyway. Because if we do not help them they may get a divorce and then their house will go into foreclosure and eventually it will have an affect on our house and family.
Bring all troops home. Secure our own borders. Tell the rest of the world you mess with us or our friends then you will have hell to pay. Pay hell to those who do not believe us. We need to stop telling other countries how to be countries. Especially if they do not like us, want us, or believe in a similar type of society. We cannot apply seat belt laws to the rest of the world.

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 12:30amSpasm- You are assuming your neighbors who are getting a divorce do not have a history of killing other people on your block or are using violent rhetoric to threaten your neighborhood. That is what Ahmadinejad is doing, Syria is killing its own citizens (would you stand in the background if your neighbor getting a divorce was shooting his children?) and Egypt is killing Christians. Your isolationist rationale sounds good but does not make sense and won’t work.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 6:45pmThe only thing I herd that had validity to it was that Syria was a base for Iran, which is true it is, however Russia’s issues have more to do with money as they sell over 12 billion dollars a year of military hardware to Syria. They have already lost Libya and Iraq, and Syria has the only naval base in the region for Russia and the Russians need to remain relevant in the middle east. The problem with Syria is who will be in charge after the change is made. Iran really needs Syria and if they lose it they are isolated, they only have North Korea and Hugo Chavez as a friend. The Chinese are buying up Iranian oil on the cheap and are now looking for a replacement supplier for oil, because they know that Iran sooner or later will go to war with the West. All of this is complicated because there are still geopolitical strategies being played out with the real players in the world and that is the US, China , Russia and Europe. My understanding is that the main goal is to surround China and Russia and force them to fight each other by slowly cutting China off from it’s energy suppliers. A tall task and one that is no secret to the Russians and Chinese but nither can really do anything about it because they are conventionally out gunned. China is excellerating it’s military build up but they are a decade or more away from having enough and even farther away from being a effective military power on the same scale as America,Russia is no threat and in worse shape.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 2:58pmSyria is important as it is the highway into Israel for the invaders from the East and North.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 3:22pmSyria is important because it is one more nation in the Middle East becoming unstable. The country is made up of several factions which could confusion within the country. The chaos would allow different political elements to influence the direct of the whole country.
Please understand that this is not a “new” problem. These countries have been brewing for years. You can’t leave a president in power for 30 years and expect a status quo. Assad ruled for years, now its his son. These problems have been potential train wrecks waiting to happen.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 12:05pmso, who are these people talking? what are their qualifications? or are they just journalists talking???
The first woman says, “are we a country that is going to take a back seat…” Who the hell is she?
Did she miss our involve in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya??? what backseat is she suggesting?

Report Post »They are Journalist’s that work for “The Blaze” presenting their opinions about the daily news articles on GBTV’s program called “Real News”. It is only available to subscribers of GBTV I believe. If you haven’t watched GBTV you might want to give it a try, I believe they have a free trial period of two weeks. There are other shows available at GBTV besides Real News and Glenn is working on future programs.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 3:15pmhI steven,
thanks for the reply.
My point, though, is that they’re journalists. Have they been to the Middle East?
Do they speak Arabic or know the culture? Have they served in the military or have a degree in strategic intelligence?
Their conversation is nothing more than banter. it poses for “real journalism” – yet, I have no idea if they are even qualified to talk about this. do you want to listen to speculation talk?
thanks for the note.

Granted, our intelligence community has sucked balls recently, but… He’s not a pretty ballerina, liberal arts major.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 10:46amWe need to back away and let Israel take these threats out. Our meddling is only making things worse for Israel. They have the power to take these guys out and I’m sure they could find the reasons and would love to do it, but here we are trying to be referee.
We send money to Israel, then we turn around and send more money to Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Jordan, Sudan, Afganistan so they can provide money to Syria and Palestine to fight Isreal then we tell Israel they can’t fight or build where they want…
What a mess. we should politely step back and let Israel take them out and just keep a close eye on it.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 9:38amIf Americans would stop using drugs, there would be no demand; therefore, there would be no money for the murderous cartels, simple simon said the pieman. If we as a society were not into instant gratification and utopia we’d be better off. If we had a gov’t that truely cared about our safety, they would close the borders too. It can be done, but there is no will to do that, because our Marxists in gov‘t want an ’open (borderless) society’. To hell with our soverienty right, and our constitution – eh the 5th column has now taken over – watch out for the next goose step people, it‘s a comin’ fast!
