The Official Syria Thread

[Devil]

Okay, well we might as well get it started. Since the good guys won The Great Gun Grab of 2013 and debunked The Legend of Skittles Martin we haven't had much political e-drama. So let's argue about Syria.

I must say I'm having a hard time giving a fuck about Syria. I'm on the fence, which is unusual for me. On one hand I'm of the opinion that we should worry about our own problems and stay the hell out of Syria. On the other hand, I'm all for bombing nutty ass Muslims whenever possible because Precision Guided Munitions + Nutty Muslims = Awesome Youtube Videos. I love math.

Here's what I'm having a hard time with during all the Syria discussion - the blatant fucking hypocrisy from both sides of the political spectrum. The partisan alignment is seriously mind blowing. The war hawks are all like "Make love. Not war!" The sweaty hipsters are all like "Feel the razor sharp talons of my eagle, bitches!" What. The. Fuck??????

This shit just reminds me how goddamn dumb and incapable of critical thought most people are. Humanity is weak. The sheep fall in line with whatever their puppet masters say they should do. I don't give a damn if you want to eradicate all Syrians from the face of the Earth or fellate them all until the end of time. But make up your minds on your ideology, you dumb fucking apes.

And make no mistake. If you EVER put your faith in ANY politician you are a stupid asshole. You know that guy you think is righteous and trustworthy, unlike the guy from the other side who is a slimy, evil conspirator? Yeah, well he's a fucking creepy deceitful bastard too. Don't kid yourself. Fuck politicians and all their dumb fucking parrots. Yes, that means you.

Wait, does this mean we can rebel against Obama & co. (and dentists everywhere) because they've perpetrated a giant scheme to poison us all to death? Or, does it mean that Syria was astute enough to use what effectively amounts to an untraceable chemical weapon?

The hyperbole in this article is stifling. My head hurts. I'm with you - I'm all for "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out," but I think really what the world needs is a healthy dose of STFU.

It's the hypocrisy from everyone involved that is souring me.

I too, feel like a global "JDAMs for Sarin" exchange is mostly a good thing, but where were we when Assad was killing his own people with conventional weapons? Furthermore, I am now completely incapable of distinguishing Bush-era rhetoric form Obama-era rhetoric. they have become identical. If Bush was evil, and Obama is good, why do they sound exactly the same? Who will tell me how to think if I can't decide?

Assad should die because he is a marauding bastard, just like Saddam. I just don't like how transparent our hypocrisy has become. It's like no one is even trying to hide the partisanship anymore. It's embarrassing. And it's the whole world, not just the US.

And no matter what we do, little will change in the end. Damn I'm getting jaded in my old age.

Exactly. It's fucking absurd. They're exactly the same. How can Obama and his minions keep a fucking straight face when they're saying this shit? Same thing with the Republicans who were passionately defending Bush's decision making in the exact same scenario in the name of freedom but are now willing to let Syria be ruled by the same type of dictator.

Bunch of fucking assholes. Why don't they just come right out and say it? They are for or against it simply because a Democrat is in office. If Romney had won the election, the same shit would be happening and the same mouthpieces would be arguing for the opposite outcome right now. Gutless pieces of shit.

I like how in the Old africa thread, the rest of the world could no longer help countries where crisis exist (The failed african states) but now Syria can be easily bombed back to the stone age

I ask again What's the point? If you are going to bomb the evil Arabian dictators why not help the african people get less raped and mutilated?

At least a international force could help fucking somalia

I don't give a shit about Africans or Syrians. But Syria is full of rabid Muslims. Muslims want to kill people who aren't Muslims. Arab Muslims have demonstrated that they are a threat to be taken seriously. So, I'm for killing them first. When Africans pose the same threat I will be in favor of killing them too. Search my post history on the subject if you like. You will find consistency in my position, not hypocrisy.

If I were President I'd bomb Syria for sure - both sides. Then I'd turn it into a giant theme park for infidels.

I know. I just never like to miss an opportunity to talk about killing Muslims.

Is your congress going to approve the bombing or not?
What do you think the plan of action would be in that case?

I don't know. Regardless of the outcome, the plan of action will be more hypocrisy from both sides.
