China and Russia is stopping us from getting involved.

Turkey was going to get troops into syria in a legal way and if those troops where shot at turkey would have used that as a reason to declare war on syria and forces NATO into the conflict so China and Russia can't complain.

How ever for some reason the old turkish military leaders quit and now they have new ones. I guess the plan wasn't going to happen.
The U.S. may have no choice but to intervene...Despite what the commies say. But that all depends on how things play out.


God damn Commies. Dammit just bomb Assads palace already.

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan
