OHCHUTE 0 #1 September 11, 2013 All the BS about limited strikes, punish Syria, or the Russians saying they'll oversee the chemical weapons... blah blah blah. It's not the chemical weapons that needs taken care of, its Assad. He is a mass murderer. Two million people have left his country and more are leaving every day. Where is Reagan: US does not negotiate with terrorists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OHCHUTE 0 #3 September 11, 2013 ***so, who does the arresting and who conducts the trial?[uote] He broke international law by gassing people. We've gone in and got bad guys before and this one is no different. Put him on notice that he's under arrest and if he doesn't turn himself in, we'll simply go get him. We know where he is. These bad guys need to understand that no matter where they are on Earth, we can deal with them. His wife is shopping while her husband is gassing people. Come on people, this guy needs to go. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/08/31/Bashar-Assad-s-Wife-Shopping-Wildly-While-Country-Burns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maggy187 0 #8 September 11, 2013 So, "we go in and get him" does involve breaking a country. Once we break the country, are we expected to fix it as well? Do we leave without fixing the country and create a generation of syrian's that were raised to hate America? How many American lives are you ok with sacrificing while trying to arrest assad? Rebuilding? He gassed his people. His people may have very well used gas also. If Syrians want to bring charges up. They can arrest him, conduct a trial and carry out the prescribed punishment. Geneva relates more to international conflicts, not internal power struggles. We have no ground to stand on for going in after him. It's not our fight. Syrians are more than capable of handling Syrian buisness without American influence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a lose lose situation, you can't attack Asad without strengthening Al Qada no, AQ is one of many enemies fighting against the Assad regime. A small portion, in reality.

jclalor 12 #10 September 11, 2013 QuoteWhere is Reagan: US does not negotiate with terrorists. You can't be serious? What did he do in Beirut after our marines and our embassy were bombed, killing over 200 Marines and 60 embassy staff by pro Iranian terrorist Trading hostages for weapons with Iran as soon as he took office.

OH BTW, good case for the public to own guns now isn't it? The non gun owner Syrian's have left the country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OHCHUTE 0 #19 September 15, 2013 ndegeFollowing your reasoning most US Presidents should also be arrested. Not sure any Presidents gassed anyone. Actually, Charles Taylor has been the only person convicted of war crimes (2011) since Nuremberg. So consequently if you are a President or Political leader of a country allows you great leeway in being a mass murderer with no one coming to arrest you. Seems odd, yet as a citizen who commits mass murder you'd be locked up before sundown. So, if can't defend yourself against the state then your best choice is flee. And many Syrians are fleeing.
