11. The President does not

have Public support to invade Syria. It shouldn't matter what anybody else says, Foreign or the paid stooges in our Congress, who no longer speak for us. When a country goes to War, the President and Congress should have Public support from the American people for it. In this case they do not. The Arab supporters of the opposition have Armed Forces if they are so concerned about Assad. Saudi Arabia has a military and an Air Force we equipped them with. Egypt does too and so does Jordan. Turkey does too. Those countries do not need the United States to attack Assad and remove him. That so called opposition group don't need to be running to us for their internal conflicts. They are crying to us, but I don't see any of these countries spilling one drop of blood from their militaries. And why does the United States have to give them our tax dollars considering how wealthy the countries of their Arab backers are? We are talking about Saudi Arabia and countries like Qatar. They have Sheiks that have Billions. It is the same deal with Kuwait.
