The U.S. has come to the aid of Libya. At least that is what I think is happening when Obama decided to make a decision 3 weeks after the uprisings and join France on the bombing runs. They seemed to justify our intrusion in this civil war by saying we are protecting the rebels. Saving the civilians. We flung 100 Tomahawks downrange and the administration still will not call it what it is which is WAR. The administration like all the rest before him up to FDR, never declared war like our constitution requires. They just decided what was best and began shooting.
Today Syria is the latest Muslim country testing their tyrannical leaders. I don't care one way or another about any of these countries. Let them fight it out. Best man wins. I don't know why we are participating in any of it. We made our statement in Afghanistan after Al qaeda attacked New York City. We smoked them. The ran and hid in Pakistan. We should take our bullets and come home. Fuck the Taliban and the rest of the cavemen. I don't know why we are still engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Libya.
So anyway, why are we not going to the aid of the Syrians? I mean, not that the U.S. and Obama can take the high road for hypocrisy but damn, isn't the same thing going on in Syria as is happening in Libya?
From the AP:
Violence erupted around Syria on Friday as troops opened fire on protesters in several cities and pro- and anti-government crowds clashed on the tense streets of the capital in the most widespread unrest in years, witnesses said.
Soldiers shot at demonstrators in the restive southern city of Daraa
Where is NATO? Where is the U.N.?
