[Obama addresses the nation]

what do you guys think on his announcement and whether the US should intervene in syria

this is very controversial...

an airstrike dosent sound like the best move.. they can get shot out of the sky even though obama says that syria dosent have the resources to be a threat to America YET they have chemical weapons so they obliviously have anti aircraft weaponry aswell god only know what else they could be packing

i know that hes trying to please both the rest of the world and the American people but he cant have both

what i think is that he's sending these planes to get shot down in order to stir fury into the heart of the American people so they will give him the green light to send troops but this is just a thought

if the Americans decide to not do anything they wont have to waste men and money BUT it will make a fool out of itself in the eyes of the rest of the world and worst yet it will look weak (and for a developed nation thats not good)
many more will die and the possibility of other country's using chemical weapons or nukes sense no one is going to stop them the law is worthless unless someone enforces it and at the end this could end up being WW3

and if they fight ..hmm so many things can go south ...America is a country that is composed of men and woman of different nations, ideology, religion and culture so obviously there will be loyalist and extremist in other words a wave of terrorist and spys is a possibility and WW3 is also a possibility that cant be ignored AND America cant fund another war plain and simple


anyways most of what i said is just me speculating im just trying to give you guys food for thought

what do you guys think?

Answer 1

Polls clear show 91.4% of Americans believe the US should not do anything in Syria. Obama was elected to do the will of the people. Obama admitted the American people are not with him on this issue.



US News reports, Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., states the Obama administration has manipulated the intellegence to make Obama's war case. Obama's polital ally Rep. Emanuel Cleaver is speaking against this too. Even the Pope is also against what Obama's war.



Reuters reports three congressional sources said the Obama administration officials indicated that some deaths might not have been caused by chemical attacks but staged to look that way.



Politico reports Ms. Elizabeth Obagy, the person behind a WSJ Report both John Kerry and (the rebuked) Senator John McCain based their research on, was discovered to be a widely traveled "Advisor" for the Syrian Emergency Task Force (a Syrian Rebel Advocacy Group). Also, Ms. Obagy was just fired for lying about having a PhD when she did not.



Obama wants to divert the American peoples' attention by "Wagging-the-Dog" out of all his Obama Scandals and domestic troubles (Egypt, NSC, IRS, the nation debt, the high unemployment rate, falling race relations, the Fast and the Furious, Gitmo, people losing their homes, and so on and so on...).



If Obama were truly interested in doing things for "Humanitarian Reasons," he would have done something in the Congo where at least 4,000,000 people have been massacred. Then there are so many recent black on white hate murders (Jeffery Babbit, Christopher Lane, 89 year old Delbert Benton, 13 month old Antonio Santiago and etc...) and hate crimes (Harlem Bus Driver), since he thrust his opinion internationally into the Trayvon Martin case and has angered so many black people into these reprehensible actions.



Obama's Syria speech was an attempt to be coolly analytically but demonstrated fumbling, flip-flopping and marble-mouthing to severely undercut whatever credibility that got him elected. What was expected to be just another disengenuine "Teleprompter Speech" that the world has come to expect turned into Deja-Vu speach. Reminiscent this speech was of when another President from my Democratic Party, Lyndon B. Johnson presented the world the Gulf of Tonkin Speech (also with manipulated facts) to get the US into the Vietnam War.



Obama was elected on the platform to end the wars and bring our service members home. God help us with Hilary's and (Crazy Joe) Biden's war rhetoric. It looks more and more like we are going to need to elect another Nixon to bring our troups home.



Obama's next step will be to try to manipulate the American public pictures of dead Syrians. Many say they remember these same folks, cheering and supporting the destruction and deaths of thousands of Americans on 911.



Finally consider this: Any missles we launch could kill innocent people just the same whether they were fired by Obama or Bush or Clinton. The only difference is Obama claimed to have known better and promised to do better.



Good luck.

Answer 2

I believe Barack Obama wants peace but the military-industrial complex

wants war. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon; that kind of evil set up.



Great Britain, Russia, China and the commonwealth can lead the World

to Peace with human understanding and international friendship.



Napoleon was defeated in 1815. French colonialism has no future but

how can we ensure this? France supported the 1773 rebellion and today

France supports (together with Ottoman Turkey) the colonisation of Syria.



Kurdistan is an equal part of Turkey and Constantinople is a popular name

for "Istanbul" surely Turkey and Kurdistan can exist peacefully together.



The French REGIME of Francois Hollande like Napoleon is bankrupt.



France promised Turkey EU membership if Erdogan supported the war.



Syria wants peace. The problem is we have been too aggressive in Syria by

wrongfully supporting the wrong side. There will be an election there in 2014.



Right now all Great British Americans need to focus on Peace because there

is a serious French push for war and colonialism as France is bankrupt.



The solution is for America and Britain to work with Russia and Syria for Peace.



Only the French extremists and Turkish extremists want a war. We must stop war.



God bless the Great American, British, Russian and Syrian people, together.



Together we can STOP ALL WAR. Great Britain can lead the world to peace.

Answer 3

For a start America does not risk pilots by old fashioned bombing from the air. America was going to launch Tomahawk Cruise missiles from ships out at sea on military targets.



This is not now going to happen as Obama has delayed it to allow President Putin of Russia's chance to see if his plan to put the chemical weapons under international control.



I am not an American and didn't see Obama speech (apart from a snip on UK news) but I think he was telling Americans about the peace plan.?

Answer 4

the people let it be known they didn't want war in Syria - that's why he had to back down
