Americans may soon fight side by side with al Qaeda

[ChickenLittle]

President Obama said he Drew a RED LINE in Syria that chemical weapons would not be used. Well it looks like chemical weapons have been used. The world is watching and now we have to act because if we allow this red line to be crossed today, our warning will be taken with a grain of salt.

The biggest problem with us going in and helping the rebels is they are islamist radicals, closely affiliated with al Queda!!! should we give them weapons!? Should we fight side by side with them?!?

One path is to provide more muscular support to certain rebel units. The administration has been reluctant to arm the rebels because Islamist radicals, including some closely affiliated with al Qaeda, have become an important part of the anti-Assad forces. This is problematic, since Washington has called for an end to the Assad regime, a regime that, incidentally, is closely allied with Iran and Hezbollah.

That dumbass and his lines he just has to draw. Now he has to figure out a way to back down so that he doesn't look like a punk and he can lay the blame on someone else. You'd think by now he'd have figured drawing lines doesn't work. That stuff stopped working for the rest of the adult world when we hit second grade.

The power in the Middle East is changing, all our dictator buddies are being replaced by people who want to run their own countries. Problem is they aren't capitalists, Christians nor democratic. These people will shun us even if we help them. We are the Evil Society to those who worship the Koran. We are in a no-win, no-win situation over there. In my opinion, I hope that the rebels fail. Before you hate me, I just want stability in the world. I'd like my grandchildren to never have to go to war. My Grandpa did, my Dad did, I did, my children's generation DOES.

????????

Um, were discussing a CNN article. Not exactly on the radical fringe here.

 

[Roninsensei]

Um they don't care!!!!!! We need to pull this thread!!!! The title is the problem not the discussion... we don't need to be flagged!!

 

[ChickenLittle]

So let me get this straight. Your concerned they will think this is a forum of Islamic terrorist sympathizers?

 

[ChickenLittle]

It's past my bed time, but i find myself dwelling on your comments. let's think about some common threads on this board

• hoarding guns and ammo
• weapons
• homemade weapons
• booby traps
• false flags (claiming the gov is responsible for crimes against it's citizens resulting in deaths)
• criticizing the POTUS

...and this is the tread that gets you riled up? your concerned enough to feel that we should impede free speech? Why worry that our rights will be taken away if we will take them away from ourselves so easily? I'm not in love with my tread title, and thought (still think) nothing of it, but I'm very concerned about what the act of changing it would say. Let's be stronger than that.

 

[Kenny Lee]

Meh, title is a bit uncomfortable, perhaps it should be titled "Other Americans who are not preppers on this forum and never will be may soon fight side by side with al queda"

 

[ChickenLittle]

I don't know. Lot's of military on this site. If Uncle Sam says go they will go.

I do like you title though! Very detailed, with no room left for interpretation. Are you an attorney?

 

[Kenny Lee]

No, but I am a Criminal Justice major with a focus on legislation, so yes, i am fluent in lawyerlese.

Hence my disclaimer on the booby trap topic.
