1500+ dead by chemicals and its black dark outside.
Wow, 1.5% of all estimated casualties were from chemicals and there is no convincing evidence to say who used them.
Why do you suddenly care about 1500 when you weren't screaming for us to go to war over the other 98,500? Why is that? There was probably an equal distribution of men, women and children killed by "conventional" means and they are just as dead as the 1500 so what, pray tell, is getting you people so all fired up?
Since we don't know for sure who used the chemicals the "excuse' that we are going in to stop potential terrorists gaining access holds no water. If the potential terrorists didn't use the weapons then weakening Assad pushes the chemical weapons into the hands of the potential terrorists. If you weaken Assad the only way to prevent the potential terrorists from getting the chemicals is to put boots on the ground, lots and lots of them. Good luck with that and, guess what, there's no knowing if the potential terrorists already have some of the chemicals and haven't used them. So the west has absolutely nothing to gain by going into Syria. Nothing, zero, zip, zilch, nada...
Any action against Syria will also bring Iran and potentially Russia and China into the mix.... Do we really want to start messing with them because 1.5% of the casualties in Syria were killed in a way some of us don't like?
Final question. If O'Bummer takes any offensive action in Syria does he have to send his Nobel
Peace Prize back?
