War mongering neo cons ready to bomb Syria with Asbestos bombs

[olp1fan]

Russia has to tell NATO to f*** off, we have no business even thinking of intervening in another country

Luckily the U.S has no stomach to enter another conflict and the European countries have no stake in Syria

Iran is an ally of Syria so they MIGHT think of trying to replace the Iranian friendly regime

Canada is prepared to join international military intervention in Syria if sanctions and diplomacy fail but says such a decision by the United Nations is neither imminent nor inevitable.

The Harper government, however, announced Sunday it would keep a patrol frigate in the Mediterranean region until 2013 – a ship that gives Canada an asset to contribute to a naval blockade of Syria should the need ever arise.

I don't see what the problem is.

Um... So?

The thread title is pure hyperbole.

of course you don't

[Smallc]

of course you don't

No one said anything about bombing Syria....and we have several frigates deployed on a constant basis.

How is being prepared to respond a bad thing?

[olp1fan]

How is being prepared to respond a bad thing?

because we are preparing to respond to a civil war

why the f*** do we think we should involve ourselves in a civil war?

Because Canada has experience from when the warmongering liberals bombed Serbs in 1999?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make as I have never been a "liberal"

and I have never been for getting involved in civil wars

Also I am a left winger with affiliations to no party

Now if you have nothing relevant to add, take off

I'm a neocon, and I'm ready to intervene, though I think Iran deserves our attention first, because it's getting close to getting a nuke.

And the current team at the White House are NOT neocons; they're liberal interventionists.

a neo con wanting to interject in a civil war for no purpose that would benefit Canada...what an odd concept!

I see not much difference between the democrats and the reformer conservatives

It would appear people on the Left are cool with Thousands of Civilians being slaughtered in this so called "Arab Spring" as long as it's not white Christians or Jews doing the killing.

It's shocking how little press what's happening in Syria gets actually.

But there are very left-leaning posters here who, no doubt, still blame Euro-Caucasian Westerners for it.

Hit the nail on the head with that one.

Interesting how silent the left has been on Sudan, Syria, Libya and now trying to revise Ghaddafi into a socialist hero who was misunderstood. Then again they portray Chavez as a wonderful man of the people and on and on and Iran which crushed a popular uprising and continues to torture and imprison thousands of political prisoners a victim of Western imperialism.

Well the left is full of sheeyit but we all are. No one seems to mind doing business with China now do they as they continue to slaughter Tibetans and run a slave state with zero human rights. People's republic right.

Neither Canada or any other Western nation has stated it will invade on the ground. To suggest they have or would want to because Canada has a ship in the Med sea is dum. Its part of their NATO commitment and yah in the event of a UN intervention of some kind it might help but please one ship invading Syria, give it a rest.

Now when they send in Rita McNeil, let me know. She is our secret weapon capable of crushing anyone and anything in her way.

Remember Bahrain? There were uprisings there, but the US allowed the Saudis to take care of that. Why? The US has one of their fleets stationed there. You should look into that. Why are we selective in who gets taken down and what country is left to it's own devices.

No one is fine with the killing, only idiotic psychopaths want war. These psychopaths are in the Dems, Libs, Neocons, Conservatives, ect ect ect.

It's shocking how little press what's happening in Syria gets actually.

Actually it's not shocking at all, if you been paying attention.

It appears "people on the" Right are cool with making hasty generalizations from a single poster on MLW.

Yes, that is odd. And it has been that way for decades.

Meh, I am not so sure. After the example in Libya, perhaps the Syrian government might be seriously weighing their options when the threat is placed at their doorstep. At this point, that threat could be motivation enough for them to change their tune.

It won't. Syria has been in this situation since the Arab Spring started. They've been having problems just as long as all the other countries going through this. Why are we suddenly paying attention now?

[Topaz]

Have any of you REALLY thought about what happens if outside countries get involved in this? There's too many countries that the the nukes and would use them!! I'm also sorry for the people there being killed but millions of people would be killed or main ed for life if a war breaks out, this is NOT a TV movie, this is real. Are Canadians willing to sacrifice more Canadian military lives? You have Israel, Pakistan, India, and maybe Iran with nukes and maybe China. They start throwing around nukes , we won't have to worry about the world's over population! It's time we get people who can use their mouths more than pound their chests and want war.

[Shwa]

Syria's human rights record has been brutal for decades. Everyone knows this, but had other stuff to pay attention to. If the regime wants to keep opressing their population like this, we can arm them and let them duke it out and send in planes to support the rebels.

Domino effect perhaps. Or perhaps it has something to do with their geographic disposition.

If NATO goes in, it's not for humanitarian aid, or because of their human rights issue. We can't be taking sides in a civil war. And with the Russian war ships off their coast, any attempted bombing run by NATO would be met with force by the Russians.

True, it is a domino effect, but it's a planned effect. The west (specifically the UK and the US) have been planning and working to destabilize the Middle East and North Africa for almost a decade now, perhaps longer. None of this stuff happens overnight.

What makes you think that? I mean, where were the Russians when Libya was getting bombed?

Another way of looking at it is from a much larger perspective than a regional one.
