Harleyman Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 If one remembers Libya, and how that was played, it was a Cameron rush, no tomorrow, had to be done immediately, so no time to think, no time to find out the facts. The facts were of course bogus, as it was a potential threat, hyped up. Well again, its action now, so no time to think, the fools rush in game, sod what the result will be, like wonderful Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia where neighbours have weekly parties, full employment, and at last societies that get on regardless of beliefs and tribal affiliations. Well....sadly worse than the opposite.. So why the rush, is chaos a good idea? The answer is yes. WHY? Because one can get the resources through bribes, thus knock down prices, or barter, as in weapons, and inter tribal fighting keeps things small scale. Having the whole middle east in Chaos, and let us not forget the up and coming war with Iran, that Israel has been begging for. Just look at the carnage of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Bosnia, Kosovo, or is it really all propaganda hype? We are destabilising the world not just economically, but in every way possible it seems. Forget democracy, the new mantra is MIGHT IS RIGHT, as we know who is guilty and do not need evidence as we make it up as we always do. The mainstream media can be relied on not to ask pertinent questions So they should have just left the Serbs to finish their ethnic cleansing in Bosnia in the interests of stability? :loopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Syria is surrounded by other Arab states rich in oil wealth....why does it have to be the west to sort the mess out, let the Middle East sort out their own affairs for a change.

tinfoilhat Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's interesting that the one thing Cameron is likely to go with, nobody has voted for on the poll on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullerboY Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 This thread was supposed to be:that we should put our own house in order first, but has been hijacked by the many armchair generals and military advisers on the forum so I will take no further part in it.

I'm afraid your thread has been merged with another Syria thread. I fail to see why we can't just have one thread - "Everything Megathread" - at least that would avoid the kind of headscratching merges you've just experienced.

mafya Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Unless things have changed the Syrian army is pretty useless as is their air force. The Israelis kicked their asses twice in the past even though the Syrians had back up from Egypt. The Syran Army however seem to be very efficient at gassing their own The USA lost in Iraq and Afghanistan so having all the best military hardware and being the big old US of A doesn't mean you always win does it? Then there was Vietnam........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marx Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Syria is the gateway to Iran. The USA has got Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. Turkey is compliant. It's like a game of Risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
