If we are stupid enough to attack, the GOP will demand we pay for the weapons used out of domestic programs. After all it is a national security threat. They may support Obama but everyone here will pay to protect the same elements in Syria that would attack us. It is a choice between Assad and the Islamic theocrats and terrorists who want a religious state like Iran.
Maybe would should let them kill each other off.
We have a political establishment that seem to be more interested in building other countries and not our own.

It boggles the mind how we can even consider another military action when we are still under the Sequester...

(3,539 posts)Involvement in Syria will not end in six weeks and the OIL will not pay for it.
The cost of this war will be just one more justification for republicans to shred the safety net.
No, no one in Syria will thank us for attacking them.
Yes the republicans will use it to their advantage.
Sadly I agree on another point.
It is their country. It is their war. I will not happily watch them kill each other, but we have our own problems.
