1. UNITED STATES OF SAUDI ARABIA
Iranian Jew ,   LA USA   (02.19.14)
We may as well invite the Arab queen there and give him the oval office while we are at it. All because they have oil?
2. Trying to broker Peace in Syria
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (02.19.14)
We have to end the Iran/Hezbollah Occupation of South Lebanon Or the war will simply cross over the border into Lebanon How can you have a situation that in the Capital City Beirut there are no go areas, Hezbollah checkpoints, Hezbollah interrogations, extortion and forced arrest and disappearances of ordinary Beirutis? What would you say in London if the Krays took over parts of London by force of terror in this way? It is Hezbollah beginning to end that has brought this instability, ethnic tensions, economic stagnation, crime and fear to Lebanon And it doesn't stop there. Their increased isolation these days is generating even more extreme rhetoric and threats... You hear more and more how 'overnight if we wanted to we could seize control of Lebanon at any time' or even more sinister 'Iran may not use nuclear weapons..but I know someone who would'
3. Bla Bla Bla Bla…….
brett L ,   JHB RSA   (02.19.14)
and 200 000 people dead!! This is going to go on for years because nobody has the balls to do anything and suits the russians and the chinese clearly, especially given they have blocked every opportunity to censure assad and his murderous regime at the UN.
4. 1300 people die in the pillar of defence…..
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (02.19.14)
And a U.N resolution is fraughted! 3 years later and 200 000 dead and they are still talking about possible action. No U.N Draught, not U.N general assembly. Anyone notice the hypocrisy here or am i being too critical of the assad regime?
5. THE ONLY US OPTION IS TO GET OUT OF SYRIA
(02.19.14)
BO is totally wrong to attempt support for completely dysfunctional armed groups headed by the world's largest Islamic terrorist groups just because they're nominally opposed to asad.
6. Anyone thinking the US will attack Syria
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.20.14)
in any way, is just flat out delusional. Once people realize that the US is NOT going to use any US forces in Syria, then that only leave negotiations or letting the situation fester. Sure people are dying, but they are not Americans, which is very important to Americans. If any people still want to fight, it is easy to get an AK-47 and lots of ammo from many sources, so they are welcome to travel to Syria and join whichever side they want.
