    Actually, FWIW, the moment that the first US solider sets foot in Syria, I become 100% against this.

    Just an aside, 7th is in south America right now and I'm sure its not a pleasure trip. We have our fingers in so many things other than what makes the head line news

    Let me know if you need to borrow some "no blood for oil" signs.

    Really weird to hear all these anti foreign adventure opinions now, when they were shouted down on Vol boards 5 to 10 years ago.

    Only if it somehow ties in the 99% theme.

    I will still say at the time with what we were told it was justified. I will also say it was to some extent worth the gamble to try to set up an American style government in the middle east and see if it would fly. (I know in theory there are other democracies there.) How we went about everything after 3 months there, however, was a complete cluster.

    Card. Card. If it was justified based on that intel, it is justified on this intel. If it is wrong then, it is wrong now. We can't have it both ways. Me or you.

    If poll numbers keep going the way they are, it may be "I am the 99% that opposes military actions in Syria."

    At the time we didn't know the intel was 100% wrong. That's pretty much everybody.

    Love the fact that our President said today that he did not draw a line in the sand, that it was the media, then see the clip of him saying it a year earlier. Priceless.

    No one in the world, including us, thought the conventional war would go so quick.

    Russia and China's ass cheeks clenched up.
