Syria Nightmare
You think Iraq was a spider web and mistake, this, in my opinion, could prove a cluster**** of epic proportions and be the catalyst for all hell breaking loose over there in that hellhole of a tinderbox.
Syria
Concerning Syria, currenty, it's as if the axis powers during WWII are killing each other off within their own territory. Might be a good idea to leave them alone and let them all do the dirty work for us?
Syria, what should we do?
The following is in response to a discussion with a family member concerning the current situation in Syria...
...the president should kill Assad and do his best to destroy the chemical weapons IF he decides to go in and then vamoose and let them sort their own mess out. Of course I agree, any intentional targeting of innocent civilians is absurd and goes without saying. I agree that it is most likely the Assad regime that controls the vast majority of the WMD inventory and capability but can't for the life of me figure out why they would use it and press President Obama to act on his 'red line' threat and to what benefit? I Disagree that it is next to impossible to source chemical weapons as mentioned in your white supremacist scenario. Assad is one of many bullies in the Islamist world playground willing to spread around WMD's to the highest bidder. It could have been a rebel or other organization that acquired/supplied the weapons, however difficult. In a multi-dimensional intrastate civil war, all sorts of hell can break lose and just about anything can go missing and be reconfigured and fit for purpose, including delivery system etc. Also, the so called rebels have one hell of a motive to pin this on Assad, hence the current debate on the use of US/GB/FR military options against the Assad regime. However, to be honest, I have no idea who did it and the above is only my un-educated opinion. Your guess is good as mine. The question isn't who are the good guys in Syria, they're all 'bad guys'. The vast majority of the Gov't, the opposition, the people, etc. hate us over there. Currenty, it's as if the axis powers during WWII are killing each other off within their own territory. Might be a good idea to leave them alone and let them all do the dirty work for us? You think Iraq was a spider web and mistake, this, in my opinion, could prove a cluste£*** of epic proportions and be the catalyst for all hell breaking loose over there in that hellhole of a tinderbox. As far as my political ideology is concerned, I have absolutely nothing against President Obama the man, father, husband, etc., I just disagree with most of his ideology, policies, motivations and politics. I believe he will say anything, do anything just to get elected and maintain power more that any president I have studied in my lifetime, maybe all-time. His only close competitor was Nixon in my opinion. I believe he is 'fundamentally transforming' America into a nation more divisive by the minute and shattering reverend King's dream, to not only Black Americans detriment, but to the nation as a whole. I am a former democrat, but feel the democratic party of today has no semblance to the party of my dads generation, to which I could relate. ex. guns, taxes (kennedy), military, foreign policy (roosevelt), civil rights (MLK), energy, space exploration, patriotism, economics, crime/punishment/victims and on and on and on. However, the republican party in the USA and the conservative party in the UK, to which I am a card carrying member, have basically become spineless and dysfunctional as well over the past 10+ years and I am looking to get out of the party political advocacy machine and become an independent, but finding it difficult because of political impotency when outside of the party mainstream. Anyway, thanks for listening to my above waffling rant!

Benghazi and SEAL Team 6 Scandal
How many more heroes need to be sacrificed to prop up this self serving narcissistic cartel? Sorry, I'm so sick and tired of the lack of any accountability and concern out of our President and Secretary of State. They are dismantling whatever respect for the office of the President of the United States that is left, piece by piece, and all for their own personal agenda and twisted ideology. These SEALS and the Benghazi 4 have more honor and integrity in their little fingers than Obama, Clinton, Carney, Rice and the rest of their ilk could ever dream of. Loyalty to a party, ideology or President should come second to the lives of the innocent. I'm sure all the families of the sacrificed must be devastated, heartbroken and furious? To be able to stand before the caskets of the dead, look the families of the fallen in the eye, in their darkest moment, and have the gall to say, knowing all the while it had absolutely nothing to do with the attack, 'We will bring to justice the author of the video', takes a special kind of 'youknowwhat', don't you think? Where's the outrage? Again, sorry for the outburst, but the families of our heroes deserve so much more than this government is willing to give. What a shame...
