Assuming he did. Also assuming that the threat of a strike would not have been enough to stop him carrying out another chemical attack. The waiting was worth it imo.
Of course i never thought that the US and Russia would come together. What i did think, unlike you, was that bombing the government a few weeks ago would cause real trouble, and the full facts should come out first. In effect, by bombing the Syrian government when you wanted, would have been...
Over two weeks ago, you were all for the USA etc to go in and bomb the Syrian government when many stated to wait and no knee jerk reaction. Seems waiting was the best option. As many stated, both sides are trouble.
As was also stated, the rebels who you seemed to want to back, are no angels...
Can you be sure?
I think the people of Syria would really suffer. I can see it now "USA bombs schools, kills children, women, Iran etc will strike back".
Arise Muslims in the West, 7/11, bombs going off in the West etc.
The fact that the USA might target legitimate buildings, will be twisted...
Troops were not used in Iraq at first. Wave after wave of ariel attacks were used. The difference this time could be that Iran, Russia and a few other countries will not sit back and watch. If you really think that the USA could go in and bomb the hell out of Syria with no reprisals this time...
Burying and stoning women in the street in front of a baying crowd. Young girls and genital mutilation. Male biased kangaroo courts with the women as second class citizens. Strapping bombs to little children to use as weapons. Using children as human shields in weapons factories. Just a few...
No, it was a genuine mistake, but make of it what you will.
Ok then, you have argued every point, you seem very fixed on your opinion, fair enough.
My take on it is....... This has been boiling up, if the Rebels win i don't think the people of Syria will be any better off. The Russians have...
Jeez. I have not said that i want people in the Middle East to live like us. This is what i said.
"I have very little respect or credit for people that treat women, gays, non Muslim and people so poorly. Until their OWN people can drag themselves into the 21st century, our intervention for...
My Dad was in the Army, fought in Malaya, in another war that was sod all to do with us.
I remember when i was about 4 years younger than you 16, i was worried about the Russians (the Cold War) the Japanese WW3 etc. My Dad who was just an ordinary guy, said "Don't worry about them, the next...
I am no more convinced this week that the Syrian government are all to blame. To act like you want to, means that you are taking the side of the Rebels. Rebels that i believe are as bad as the government. I'm afraid these Middle East countries do not want peace, they continuously fight amongst...
I stand by what i said. "And you think that if he is stopped, by "ONE attack carefully planned"......that would be the end of it eh?"
Other countries, allies of the government, would just do nothing......... i think you are wrong, dangerously wrong.
Wars cost Billions not millions.
Your stance seems to have changed/tempered since your opening posts, i was pretty sure you wanted our government to strike asap against the Syrian government.
But you don't mind seeing our troops being sent into another war thousands of miles away to side with rebels who were blowing our lads/lassies up in Afghanistan.
You don't mind seeing billions being spent fighting in an area that does not want peace, has been killing it's own for centuries, and...
Doubt you will find it. The story was swiftly removed.
