USA is becoming oil independent...so even if war breaks out in the USA, it can mitigate such problems easier....

Highly unlikely USA would attack,,,,

I do not think congress would authorise the strike. Public opinion is against a war. And by referring to congress is a face saving measure for Obama. This is not like During the gulf of tonkin incident where USA presidents can wage war unilaterally. No congress support to wage war, it will make it hard for Obama to govern.

yes, public opinion is against a war....public opinion is more much against killing thousands of innocent women and children.
something must be done to stop this mad assad, and someone has to do it



obama'c creditability at home will indeed be affected if

 

[The_Hypocrite]

I do not think Assad is that bad...I think the rebels are worse as they are the fundamentalist.. USA wants to destabilise Syria,,but the alternative is much worse. If the rebels win, the Christians will be worse off. The rebels must have clandestine support from the west but I think the rebels are no popular that is y Assad still has the upper hand.

As I had said before........Syria is not Libya.......

Syria has friends and it is also not defenseless............

Whichever Western countries think they can bomb Syria are DUMBASSES!!!

Now, if US congress vetoed Obama's plan and USA is not going to do anything, France will look fucking stupid................LOL!!!

DUMBASSES!!!

assad will need not had to resort to chemical warfare if he winning the war, but the bigger issue is...if nothing, the iranians will take it as signal that they also try their luck with a nuclear attack on its enemy

 

[Sideswipe]

other countries should not interfere in Syria's internal affairs and that includes civil war. the powers should go and aid countries that request for international assistance and do not receive it.

I am amused that there are morons here who don't get news updates from the web and instead take the gossips in this forum.

Approval from Congress will take at least 10 days, if it comes at all.

And i think that what they meant by "limited" activity is launch the tomahawk cruise missiles. Is that all?

Any air and ground assault will result in deadly consequences and casualties.

 

[kukubird58]

hahaha....obama cannot back down now without losing face...
also all the wayang and planning and pre-positioning have been completed...
it will be the usual air bombing raids and cruise missiles raids...
there will not be any ground offensive except for SOF taking out selected targets...

more importantly obama is in a no-win situation.....
whichever group taking over power in syria is not going to be friendly with USA...lol.

hahaha.... ah gugu.. can u send a tweet to Assad to strike the US first? Damn bored so hoping to see military action at the expense of others.

There is a law or bylaw which gives the president power to opt for military action without the need for congressional approval, however he is seeking it to garner and show support of the people.

President Obama has blinked! What has happened to your red-line crossing?

No US strike on Syria until he gets Congressional approval. Chances are he may get humiliated just like PM David Cameron.

President Assad, Hezbollah and Iran have claimed victory and Syrians are dancing and celebrating on the streets of Damascus.

 

[The_Hypocrite]

Yup...can launch military action for 100 days,,after that need congressional approval. this was due to vietnam war where military action was done unilaterally without going through congress,,war too important to be decided by 1 man.

The issue is Obama is trying to get out of it,,tat y defer to congress,...congress for sure wont approve one.

Military action is only of use if there is an end game. Those USA attacks in Pakistan etc is to serve a purpose, like assassinating al qaeda leaders etc. for syria,,u need to conquer it,,launch missiles at a few places for what?

As I said b4 USA will not dare to attack alone. Now Britain PM have to obey Parliament vote not to involve or attack.
France still want more info>>>>> just wait wait wait hope it will go away try to buy time not to involve.
Only USA fucker Obama still want to attack.

Blackie is not very clever when he boxed himself up last year by declaring that if Assad uses chemical weapons he would cross the red-line, and the US would launch a military strike on Syria.

Latest poll shows that 72% of the American people are against military strike and now that he has only got France who is coming on board, he has no choice, but to try to back off.

More than a week of Blackie's empty rhetoric has come to nothing compared to Bill Clinton's decisive 3 days of strike on Saddam's Iraq on 16th Dec to 19th Dec 1998.

Obama could have emphasized that the proof of Syria govt using chemical weapon is not conclusive. Think he got wrong advice from new Secretary of State, or the Democratic Party nowadays also want to do regime change business.

Why do Russia, Iran and China continue to support a regime that's accused of slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians in the 2-year-old civil war?

Just because Russia, Iran and China continue to support Assad's regime doesn't mean they will use their military to attack the West when the U.S., UK, and France strike Syria.

Russia has sent warships to the Mediterreanean Sea to send a message to the West not to attack Syria. All Putin has told the West was that an attack on Syria would seriously destabilize the entire ME region. He never said that an attack on Syria is an attack on Russia. As for Iran and China, they don't even have any military personnel and hardware anywhere near Syria.

When the West strikes Syria, it will not escalate into WW 3. Russia is not yet ready to fully engage in a military conflict with the West at this stage. It's still too early and they need more time to build up their military capability to defeat the West in the event of a conflict. Putin is not that dumb to engage in a military conflict with the U.S. at this stage.

 

[extramarital]

it will be the usual air bombing raids and cruise missiles raids...

That's exactly what will happen when the West strikes Syria. It will be the usual air strikes, cruise missile strikes and unilateral economic sanction from the West to support the rebels on the ground to topple Assad's regime.

It will be a limited war and won't escalate into WW 3 despite all the tough talks and rhetoric from both sides.
