No

It's a good thing Romney didn't get in and we reelected the peace loving Obama administration
Sept. 2, 2012, YORK, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday that Republican rival Mitt Romney is “ready to go to war in Syria and Iran” while hurting the middle class.

Seems like Russia is stepping to the forefront on this.

However, Russia might be ready to diffuse the situation between Syria and the United States.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov vowed to push Syria, a Russian ally, to place its chemical weapons under international control and then dismantle them to avert U.S. air strikes.

“If the establishment of international control over chemical weapons in that country would allow avoiding strikes, we will immediately start working with Damascus,” Lavrov said. “We are calling on the Syrian leadership to not only agree on placing chemical weapons storage sites under international control, but also on its subsequent destruction and fully joining the treaty on prohibition of chemical weapons,”

The move by Russia came a few hours after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that Syria could resolve the crisis by turning over his entire arsenal of chemical weapons to the international community by the end of the week.

Syria has reportedly said that it welcomed the proposal from Russia, but hasn’t decided on a course of action as of noon Monday.
Yet watch Obama take all the credit. :coffee:

Who in the world voted "yes" for this? Why do we care about a few hundred dead people due to gas when we've let 100,000+ die already without doing a thing?

If muslins want to kill each other, how can that be a bad thing? The world population is too high already.

I'm a no on this. Especially since we've been telling Assad exactly what our plan is and I'm pretty sure we'll just launch some missiles targeting places where missiles used to be. Seems to me like a pretty stupid $350 Million boonedoggle.

WWI, WWII, and every humanitarian and natural disaster come to mind.

We usually have Marines handing out MREs on the streets before the local ruler decides to come out of his mansion.

Just because we've had two of the most inept presidents in our history serve back to back does not make us bad guys.

Since you stated that as a fact, would you care to list the names and party affiliation of those who voted yes and those who voted no?

In the meantime, you might want to look up what Kerry and Pelosi are saying about intervention. :rofl:

This is a lose, lose situation. Nothing to be gained by intervening.

Besides, the environmental impact study shows the longer the war goes on the more people will be killed, thereby reducing emissions into the atmosphere and reducing global warming. Letting them kill themselves off is the green thing to do and is earth friendly...
