we wholeheartedly protect.


Now this secular rebel wants our money and our arms. Now how can we
be sure that this guy is not a front for jihadists or just simply a hustler?

The only safe answer is for us to bear our own arms, which implies boots
on the ground.

Syria is a maze of confusion for us.

my objective is knowledge

Another article from the same link ---- HANGOUT.

This is really an interview. The analysis here is super.

the analyst says it would take 200,000 to 200,500 blue helmets
to fix Syria.

My error. He states several hundred thousands.

the 200-250 t was what one of our general had recommended for Iraq.

The HANGOUT should be read by anyone interested in this Syrian maze.

No matter who we back, we are backing the bad guys. The whole damned thing is a sinister carnival of dysfunction. IF OUR PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS THINK THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT WITH A TOMAHAWK MISSLE, THEY ARE EVEN MORE STUPID THAN I FEARED THEY ARE.

Dave, you know what else chaps my ass badly? The fact we always rebuild shit after we blow it up. I wish we'd stay out of other peoples business unless they hit us first, then after we hit back let THEM rebuild their own damage.

Yeh, the Marshall Plan sure backfired on us.... Nothing but Audi's, VW's and Mitsubishi's on the road around here.

I am pretty sure Iraq has not been rebuilt by us yet.
