Subject: Assad Forces Douse Syrian Rebels With Nerve Gas

If nerve gas has indeed been used, it's no longer a matter of "Is it really our job/place/responsibility to step in?"

It has never been our responsibility. It is the UN's responsibility. How do we know that the rebels have not used this stuff too? We have NO logical reason to intervene in this, only pure emotion.

All major world powers should be doing something to curb this.


"Bad Assad! Bad!" will be the global response. Oh, and if America doesn't intervene it will be, "Geez, America! Why didn't you help them!"


America can stay the -blam!- out. 11 years in Afghanistan over one million deaths, Like 4 trillion in debt and they did absolutely nothing. -blam!- waste. Get the -blam!- out of the Middle East and go the -blam!- home.

Who cares if it drives US intervention? US intervention alone isn't the issue: this is nerve gas, it falls under the category of WMDs. It could drive people from all across the globe to get involved-most nations hate it when chemical warfare starts to go down. Nobody wants to see the situation turn this way...


Yeah... look at all that support for the overthrowing of Saddam Hussein. Oh wait...

Except for the part where that was the suspicion of possession of WMDs by the US. This is what appears to be confirmed use of chemical weapons. Very different scenarios.


Yup. That international community seems to care SO much...

This thread is much stranger and more awkward than any of my many films.

This thread is redundant.

I referred him to the entire Al-Anfar Campaign on the last page but I think he just ignored it.

It's not like Floodians can call the shots. I would be very glad if we stayed out of it, we have nothing to gain from being in this region, it's a waste of money and American lives. I'm not going to pretend like I care about these mudpeople, because I don't, but it seems our views coincide to result in the same thing.

Tyrannical dictator vs. terrorists with AQ affiliation

If anything, America should be kicking back with a bowl of popcorn.
Ignoring the hundreds of thousands of civilians caught between them?

But hey, this is exactly the sort of shortsightedness I expect from the Flood.


Joke


Your head
If you honestly thought that was funny, you should get your head checked.
I found it pretty funny, death is one of the only, few , concrete things within our reality and people get worked up over it, nice.

I'm weary of the whole thing there. I say we even the playing field by making sure that both sides have the same weapons and numbers of men, then put a no fly zone over the whole country, and patrol the borders so none can escape, and no one else can help them.

Then just let them duke it out.

Yup. They did so well with Libya. I mean, it's not like the Libyan rebels were asking for the US to take the helm of support the same week France took over.

Let some other UN country like Germany go handle it, I'm -blam!- tired of being deployed to some 3rd world -blam!- hole that has no resources or gain for us. And I'm sure as -blam!- tired of seeing my battle bro's get killed for some camel jocky haji, -blam!- 'em I say.

On top of the left column on CNN's homepage it says gas deaths reported... but the link goes to an article with no mention of it... I'm guessing it's in-progress.

One problem is that if UN decides to intervene IF (VERY BIG IF) those group actually used chemical weapons, then there is high chance that US will be somewhat involved as well.

Using chemical weapons in the war = every nation in UN becomes mad or wary because it's against the Geneva Convention, I believe. World War I saw extensive usage of chemical weapons and World War 2 as well, that set final stone for Geneva Convention to ban on usage of chemical weapon in the warfare.

Welcome, welcome to city 17...

If these reports of nerve gas are true then i would expect the us to intervene with cruise missile strikes and bombing runs, similar in nature to Lybia
