Will POTUS Strike Syria ? - Syria Crisis


Lets Get Real:

President Obama will get a 2nd chance to correct a mistake when he didn't bomb Syria when the Assad Regime used WMD on its people, this time it will not be Assad that gets bombed it will be IS.   The Oval can not bottle a 2nd chance to strike Syria, yes the action will have risks, but the lack of action will help IS.    The downside for the US and the poor Syria people is that by bombing IS it will help the Assad Regime, there is no way around that, all choices when it comes to Iraq and Syria are lesser evil choices.   If POTUS had armed the secular rebels at the start then it can be argued that IS might  not be the threat it is now, but that debate is for the history books, the Oval has to ACT and soon, IS is to much of a threat to the Middle East and the West. 

Iraq and Syria - Middle East Crisis


Lets Get Real:

The Oval approved hits in Iraq after a threat to the Kurdish Capital, THE US strikes have carried on, the birth place of IS is Syria, the Capital for the terrorist group is in Syria, the Oval lost its bottle to strike Syria early on, strikes that would have helped the secular rebels against Assad, the new strikes would help President Assad, he could use the US strikes to take down those rebels that are supported by the West.    The politics of the Middle East is murky, does the West really want to help Assad, the Oval has two enemies in Syria, Assad and IS.    By going after IS the West is falling in to the PR trap of the Assad Regime, their message is simple, either Assad or IS.    The West should try to take out both threats.  They are both evil and without a soul. 

UN and Iraq - Iraq Crisis


Lets Get Real:

Thus we come to another problem for the Oval, it can hardly allow thousands of people to be killed in Amerli, the US will have to hit IS around the sieged City, this will of course make the US more of target for Al Qaeda and IS, the threat of IS like when Lenin came to power in Russia, the West didn't have the staying power to take out the Communists, think of ALL the millions that could have been saved if Lenin, Stalin had been destroyed at the start, IS is the modern version of Communism, it has to be destroyed and its ashes thrown to the sands of Iraq.   The West, in this case the US, UK and France have to send ground troops to Iraq to finish this threat before it gets its hands of WMD.   Time is of the essence.
