AMERICA’S BONEHEADED SYRIAN INTERVENTION
Where to start with this whole Syria debacle …
Well, let’s go back a couple years when fiscally liberally warmongers like U.S. Senator John McCain and Lindsey Graham were desperate to invade the country with American troops (because that strategy has been so successful).
How desperate? Um … yeah. This desperate.
Thankfully, there was no invasion … but Graham and McCain were successful in supporting a bunch of radical Islamic terror organizations. And pumping in tons of U.S. weapons.
And not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for things to escalate further …
America’s goal in Syria? To take out president Bashar al-Assad, who is a major thorn in the side of our “partners in peace” down in Saudi Arabia. In fact, it is widely believed (if not reported by the U.S. press) that Saudi Arabia was really responsible for at least some of the chemical weapons attacks in Syria that have been pinned on the Assad regime.
Anyway …
America has repeatedly stated that it has been attacking the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (its latest manufactured enemy) in this conflict. But is that really what our planes and “advisors” have been up to?
Now that Russia has gotten involved in the Syrian War, it is becoming abundantly clear that the administration of Barack Obama – which loves to use ISIS for fear-mongering here at home – isn’t exactly going all-out against “the enemy.”
In fact the Russians are waging an aggressive air campaign against ISIS, targeting dozens of installations housing the terrorist network’s military infrastructure.
Wait … isn’t this the stuff American planes are supposed to be hitting?
“The Obama administration claims that it has been bombing ISIS positions in Syria for over a year. So why in the world do these targets still exist?” commentator Michael Snyder wrote this week. “Was the U.S. military incapable of finding these installations? That doesn’t seem likely. So why weren’t they destroyed long ago? Did the Obama administration not want them destroyed for some reason?
Hmmmm …
Naturally, America doesn’t care if Russia takes out its “enemy” ISIS … right?
Um, wrong.
Earlier this week U.S. military cargo planes dropped a whopping fifty tons of ammunition to “moderate rebel” groups in Syria.
“All pallets (were) successfully recovered by friendly forces,” a U.S. official told CNN.
Seriously?
“This is essentially the equivalent of poking the Russians directly in the eyes,” Snyder wrote. “Much of this ammunition will end up in the hands of those that the Russians are attempting to bomb into oblivion, and so to Russia it appears that we are attempting to make their job much harder. And of course the truth is that there aren’t really any “moderate rebels” in Syria at all. Nearly all of the groups that are fighting are made up primarily of radical jihadists and/or hired mercenaries.”
Indeed …
So … what exactly is our government doing?
Good question. Because it sure looks to us as though our tax dollars are arming radical Islamic forces – likely including ISIS fighters – who will in turn wage a proxy war against the Russians.

At least someone gets to shoot guns at people and not get in trouble for it.
Apparently you can do that in Chicago as well…
And Pelion.
Ah…….
Gotta love the C-17 CDS drop pic with the trusty loadmasters standing by!!!!!!
I wish I had a dollar for every photo op of the loadmasters silhouetted in the big assed open end of a C-17 or C-130 during a cargo drop!!
That being posted I never get tired of the pics
“sigh”……………………………………………………………
Tail gate jumps were the best but you never wanted to jump from a bird that also had a cargo load. You never knew where that heavy bastard was going.
LOL!…..wholeheartedly agree. Having done so, I can tell you that it’s an interesting experience. Ever jumped out of a C-141A/B Starlifter (the predecessor of the C-17 Globemaster)?
A point for gun fondlers.
The most warfare with the least results produces maximum profits whether you are a R or a D. Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower was the last President with a shred of honesty about this topic. I won an essay debate with a piece titled “War is good for business” back in school. It takes very little effort in research to see why there is no peace on the horizon anytime soon.
Liberals will Always vilify the soldiers. But EVIL, Backward and Hateful people, who murder the innocent, are the cause for war. It’s not the love of money. It’s usually a Godless ideology that forces good people to fight the immoral.
You won the essay contest because liberals were judging it. They are always too immature, too lazy and too coward to stand up to danger and injustice and barbarian dictators (or they are just like the evil.)
You – like FITS- are simply a cliche that is easy to sell to childlike minds, who have no idea of what a world with the courageous, and moral, would be like.
Nobody vilified the soldiers, dumbass. They are being used to fight pointless wars, perhaps to start WWIII, which might bring into question the sanity of anyone choosing to enlist under current conditions, where a seeing person should know it is not about fighting for your country so much as it is about doing the bidding of politicos and business people who are not fit for those soldiers to wipe their butts on.
STFU. Most Soldiers would rip your fucking head off, and shit down your windpipe. You speak like Obama and FITS. They HATE you. And you are dangerous.
Ignorance like your is what leads to all types of rules that get soldiers killed or jailed, while the animals we fight play by no rules.
Our guys, the True Americans, want to fight and win…because there are tyrants, dictators and Idiots like you, supporting murder and Dominance of free people.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Is this Big Fetus? You write like Big Fetus. You still haven’t Cut YourCord. Do it Now.
Big fetus ! Love it !
I never said our guys didn’t “want” to win. Their “wants” and the reality of the situation they are in however, are two entirely different things. I bitched back when Bush was running things that our troops in a war zone, frequently had stricter ROE’s thsn a street cop at home does. It has only gotten worse with Obama, but that doesn’t change the fact that Bush had the deck stacked against them from Day 1.
And last time I watched Colonel kick your butt, I was laughing mine off. LMAO!!!! Yee yaaa!!!
Yes he did.He inferred that those that serve do so only for profit.
Leave the critical thinking skills to those that are able to do such-your niche is creating wild conspiratorial theories and spewing falsehoods about those that became more successful than you in life.
Everybody is a fucking criminal in your sorry mind.
Reading comprehension not so good today, flip? He inferred no such thing. He spoke the truth that war is good for business. People like Graham snd McCain will see to it that such is the case.
Maybe I see criminals because we are overrun with fucking criminals. Maybe you should open your eyes and look around.
Thanks for possessing reading comprehension skills. The GT/Flip/all the other Sybil carnates are 2Stupid2Talk2 and a total waste on keyboard lifespan.
lol…I give Bernie Sanders credit.He just tells you he hates America,doesn’t believe in capitalism and is a socialist.
Dumb ass RINO’s/liberals like you have the same world view and core beliefs however don’t have guts to come out of the closet.
Sending our bravest off to die or get seriously harmed in pointless wars is far worse than anything else you could do to them. How about we villify the assholes that sent them?
Just do what Obama does.Surrender to our enemies.
Fuck off you stupid chickenhawk loser.
I am NOT a chickenhawk.I am a monkeyshit loserI and just left 10,000 troops in Afghanistan to help ISIS!
I rule you and GrandTango’s minds, don’t I? It’s awesome. That’s right, two terms, health care reform, and watching the Republicans implode while I sit back and laugh.
Now, go back to helping Trump win the election… for Hillary! Ha!
Who would that be?
If you had an ounce of comprehension, you would know that is exactly where I am coming from.
That is your problem. You and flip don’t understand the difference between the ‘soldiers’ and the largely civilian ‘powers that be’ that control their mission. The former are the the dedicated defenders of our nation that are fully worth of our respect. The latter are most often self-aggrandizing chicken hawks that use the soldiers as pawns to enrich themselves.
How do these liberals always vilify soldiers? Honest question…
I support some of the troops, but not all of them.
I’m a troop myself, but I know a lot of dickheads who are troops. Troops are like any other people; a few winners and a lot of loosers.
I’m sticking my tongue out at you. You just can’t see it.
You just proved you are dumber than Boz-and just as confused about who you are and what the fuck you believe.
This country has always carried the brunt of fighting evil in this world.The defenders of freedom.Truth and morality mean nothing to you and why we ended up with a traitor like Obama and this country under attack from within by the Democrat Socialist Party.
Very well said
Now works for Halliburton.
Obama has let millions of kids die, because he sides with the murderers of ISIS. Under Bush we protected the kids, and made them free. You stupid Islamic Dictator-supporting FUCK.
Too bad you lack the most basic intellectual and verbal skills to make a comprehendable point. Just quote FOX news. Save rhe spit.
With funding and support from us, we created ISIS, dumbass!
I don’t doubt the different Muslim factions want to kill each other, but the entire Kabuki Theater is a Bombs R Us Inc. production.
Yep!!!!
YOU created ISIS, and you now support it, with Obama as a Liberal-Liberal-Tarian.
Republicans supported FREEING people, and killing Evil. That is the Safest, CHEAPEST and less deadly way to go.
Rag heads killing rag heads. Give ’em more ammo. Let us know when it’s over.
Just as long as the kids are not in NYC around Sept..2001 right? Right…..
It is naive as to think that money does not drive many ill-advised things, and that exploitation of patriotism is a means to accomplish them.
Flip – we’re tired of fighting other people’s wars without any real gain. Want to know what the American people think about ISIS and Syria and Iraq? Rag heads killing rag heads – let’s give ’em more ammo.
More commentary from the lunatic fringe by Michael Snyder. “So why in the world do these targets still exist?” Because new ones spring up and old ones are relocated. We’re unwilling to kill everybody, leave that to Assad. Michael Snyder has zero credibility on military matters. Not that he has any on economic issues either.
“Earlier this week U.S. military cargo planes dropped a whopping fifty tons of ammunition to “moderate rebel” groups in Syria.”
Not only that, but many of those “moderate rebel” groups are actually Al Qaeda or affiliated….lol….pure stupidity.
The US is the laughing stock of of the middle east, rightfully so. Let’s hear more whining about “isolationism” from both sides of the aisle as the charade continues so that we can laugh at our government instead of cry that they are now supporting the network behind 9/11.
We seem hell bent and determined to start WWIII with Russia over a bunch of savages who have been murdering and slaughtering each other for centuries.
Russia is actually taking the bull by the horns and stomping the roaches that we have been purporting to not like, while simultaneously feeding and growing more of them. Good men and women in our military are being used as pawns by scumbag politicians like McCain and Graham, to enrich the MIC. One could only hope these jerks one day stand trial for treason, for the mess they are getting our country in to.
Russia’s accomplished nothing. They’ve already lost one fighter jet and three helicopters. We had nearly the entire US Army in Vietnam when it was coming unglued and guess what happened. I say we go in over a couple of weeks, take out about 400 of Assad’s tanks, drop another 100 tons of ammo, and walk away. When making a stew – you leave the oven door closed.
Check outvwhat Russia is about to feed the Jihadis.

The Germans dropped over 1 million bombs on Stalingrad. One million. Know who won that battle? The defenders. Good luck Putin – guy named after Quebeciose french fries.
Uh, the dumbest war ever was started by Dick Cheney in Iraq and it is leading to all of the issues that you see today. I can’t wait for that SOB to die so that I can go to Wyoming and piss on his grave.
The U.S. won the war in Iraq, and it was a win worth EVERY penny. If we could have maintained an ally there, it would have saved MILLIONS of lives, and kept trade honest and fair.
The fact that Obama Stupidly gave back all we achieved to his ISIS Friends proves the success Bush obtained. Obama showed WHAT-NOT to do.
You’re just an ignorant, hate-filled buffoon, so filled with contempt for Cheney, you make yourself look like a motherfucking fool, which is what you are.
Bullshit, all we “won” was the privilege of sending more troops there to die, be maimed, and psychologically damaged, plus sending more good money to be poured down a dry hole. It wouldn’t have mattered if we pulled out now or seventy-five years from now, chaos and the current situation would have been the result.
Stupid Fuckers, like you and Jimmy Carter, destabilized Iran in the late 1970s. You put the Ayatollah in charge, and it’s been rampant chaos since.
Bush actually regained a stronghold in Iraq, only for IGNORANT motherfuckers, who think like you, and act like Obama, to pull the rug out again.
You’re TOO Fucking Stupid to vote. And you demonstrate why Liberal-Tarians are dangerous.
Obama gave the middle east to ISIS and Al Queda and tried giving Afghanistan away to the terrorists-until things became so obvious to the military leadership in this country,in my opinion (military was not going to let us lose those bases).Things unraveled more quickly than Obama anticipated( he was hoping to be out of office when the Taliban took back over) and to cover his treasonous ass he has to keep some troops in Afghanistan.
Yeah, because it was ours to give. You’re as clueless as Tango. Want to know who gave ISIS it’s spot, the Shia government in Bahgdad, and you know who put them in place? Bet you think I was going to say Bush right? No, the Iraqis. You know what Flip – you want to go fight a bunch of rag heads in Iraq and Syria – raise an Army, arm it, put ’em on jets and fly over. America is done with that crap. Arm ’em, let ’em square off, and buy oil from the winner.
I didn’t vote for Carter and damn sure did not support removal of the Shah as Iran’s leader. You must have me mistaken with someone else.
I have never cast a vote for ANY Democrat for President, not because I buy into partisan politics, but because I have not yet seen a Democrat candidate for President who was worthy of my vote.
You don’t get it. The Liberal-Tarians hate Republicans and want Democrats in power because they think alike, and are BOTH failures.
The Democrats can get elected by hiding their goals, the Liberal-Tarians are honest about what they want to do..and they are REJECTED by the people. But they can use the WORST of the GOP to define it, and convince enough would-be Freedom-lovers that the GOP is worse…which is laughable.
Carter destablized Iran. Oh crap. I thought that was the Shah and the revolutionaries? Now we were supposed to invade Iran in 1976? You got the money for that dumb@$$?
Excellent observation. I well remember George W Bush’s flippant comments as he opened the Iraq war by bombing a City Full Of Civilians. “If you want to support the war, go shopping”. No more evil a war monger ever walked the earth. Turned the U S Armed forces into mercenary trigger pullers while GOP Corps like Halliburton And Blackwater got rich bathing Iin the blood of American Military personnel, and countless women and children “collateral damage.
Bring it on!
Wyoming just needs to install a rope line and sell tickets and they’ll be doing great.
Makes no sense at all. Russian foreign policy on this issue is so much more rational We really need to just say we were wrong and help Putin.
THANK YOU!!!!
The chemical weapons used by Assad in Syria were the ones that didn’t exist when President Bush told everyone the “big lie” .LOL
Ah, no they are not. We knew Assad has had chemical weapons long before we ousted Saddam. He has threatened to use them in the past.
Even Bush now admits there where no chemical weapons in Iraq. Give..it…up. Telling lies like you know some secret the rest of the world doesnt..makes you look crazy. When even Bush says he was wrong..time for the nutjobs to fall in line as well. Maybe you and Grandashhat/tarloser could start your own blog with your own history..who needs facts..right? Right…
I wish these chickenhawks would suit up and fight some terrorists themselves.
The Wolfowitz Doctrine and think tank PNAC’s (The Project for a New American Century) plan, I am sure, is unfolding as predicted. Not.
The point is with the resignation of Boehner five days before Putin’s airstrikes and in the span of the first 15 days of October we saw Russian air strikes, Russian cruise missiles, Russian boots on the ground, a Chinese aircraft carrier in Syrian waters, Iranian troops in Syria, the McCarthy Benghazi gaffe, the McCarthy meltdown, the Sanders meltdown, Podliska’s claims, Iranian missile tests, and Gowdy’s fall from grace, all principalities are converging on Hillary as the establishment candidate who will expand the Wolfowitz Doctrine (with the support from her base ’cause it’s Hillary). Can’t see it, though. She is a lush.
?
Trump & Bernie are foils for Hillary to insure her election.
The Saudis don’t want Russian oil being piped through Syria to Europe and the Med. This is the real cause of all this nonsense. Protecting the fortunes of the richest, most oppressive theocratic dictators on the planet … Makes me want to pull for the Russians.
No Todd, just how is Russia going to “pipe” oil from Russia, through some Allahbazajera crap country, then through Iran, then through Iraq, through Syria, to Turkey, and into Romania, then through Moldova, or some Vulva country, then via Czech Republic into Germany. Wouldn’t it be easier to put a pipeline from Russia through Belarus to Poland and into Germany? Geesh!!!! I heard that like three times today. Hey, know who wants a pipeline to Europe? Iran. For Gas and Oil. Know where it goes, through Turkey. Syria has the strategic value of zit on your lower inside thigh.
It’s actually kind of brilliant, if you ask me. it’s about time Russia (or anyone other than us) got bogged down in one of these Middle East Vietnams. We’ve spent the last 12 years trying to get OUT of a quagmire. The best way to keep Putin from “rearing his head” against us is for Russia to get bogged down in Afganistan II. I feel like Obama is thrilled Russia is doing what it’s doing and we’re just going to feed the flames to keep them involved there for as long as possible. It’s a win/win. They kill some ISIS, they piss off the muslim extremists, they have the embarrassing headlines… What’s not to like?
America is a colony of the Zionist State of Israel. All the Mid-Eastern wars are at there behest. These psychopathic Jews have controlled the U. S. since the Woodrow Wilson presidency. All our politicians are on their payroll. Hillary will be their next president & puppet.
