Speaking in Munich, Mr. Biden says he and President Obama, and their 'partners' and allies, have agreed that Assad is a tyrant and is no longer fit to lead his Syrian people, and he must "go".

What the hell are we doing!?

"We can all agree... on the increasingly desperate plight of the Syrian people and the responsibility of the international community to address that plight," he added.


We have already poured 50 million American dollars into what they call 'non-lethal assistance' to help the opposition become more cohesive and inclusive.

AFP - US Vice President Joe Biden said on Saturday the US and its partners were pushing to help strengthen the Syrian opposition, insisting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was a "tyrant" and must go. Biden was speaking on the second day of security talks in the German city of Munich, where he is later due to hold talks on Syria with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Syrian opposition chief Moaz al-Khatib.


So here again, our government has decided another leader is no longer fit to run his country so we must remove him.
Isn't that the same policy the current administration condemned upon Bush? Is there any truth that this 'opposition' is supported largely by Al-qaeda and have repeatedly committed horrific war crimes, and human rights violations, while supporting the killing of US troops?www.infowars.com...

But he referred to recent comments by US President Barack Obama, saying, "We are under no illusions, the days ahead will continue to be very difficult but the opposition continues to grow stronger".
He said it was "no secret" that Russia and the United States have "serious differences" on issues such as Syria.

Russia play down talks with US and Syrian opposition

I'm by far no expert on politics, but is the only reason we have our nose poked in this is because Assad is backed by Russia and Iran? Are there weapons of mass destruction in Syria that pose a threat to us?

US Should Stay out of Syria

I've had a really bad feeling about all this from the start, boots on the ground or not, and I see this cauldron about to boil over right into our laps.

I certainly see those points, but what gets my goat is, (oh the hypocrisy), this is the same do-gooder administration that bashed Bush for going into Iraq after supposed weapons of mass destruction while in the fallout of 911. At least his intentions seemed to have a broader justification than the threat Syria poses should Assad remain yes? Is there something much more significant I'm missing?

After 911, Americans seemed to be standing with their hands on their hips, blood lust in their eyes after witnessing the attack on NY, and asking their country's President, " Somebody needs to pay dearly for this, what are you going to do about it?" However, campaigning in '08 he was painted as a war monger by his opponents....even if in their own minds they most likely grinned and gritted their teeth in satisfaction as they watched the 'shock and awe' unfold in Iraq.


Granted, we don't have boots hitting the ground in Syria, but haven't we learned it's inevitable at some point either in Syria, or because of Syria, boots will be hitting the ground somewhere?

Yes, and yes she IS pregnant.

The end of Mussolini and his wife at the hands of Italian partisans come to mind.

Asad the butcher.


I agree that there are sides and Iran is not going to surrender Hezbullah.

But there is a problem here.

Was Saddam a butcher when he was invading Iran ,too?

Or he was just a good puppet ?

Bankesters are one side of the problem.

Zionists are on the other edge of the scissor.

Multinational corporation owned by elites

Arab puppet dogs on another side.

Fools inside Syria brainwashed by others.

Asad and his problems with people.

Arab nationalism on one edge.

Wahhabism on another edge.

They are making problems for Syria.
