More on Syria

We have seen and heard over 100,000 killed by bullets and bombs and approximately 1000 killed with chemicals and now President Obama must show his manhood by possibly engaging our military in a conflict that will not only have serious regional consequences, but world consequences as well.  What we have in Syria is radical Muslims killing radical Muslims and both sides have a distaste and hatred for the United States and Israel.  Any action we take will have a detrimental effect on Israel that will lead to an all out war within the region.  We must take a step back an look at the long term consequences of our actions and how China, Russia and Turkey will respond.   

If this president acts without the approval of Congress, I strongly suggest that impeachment proceedings begin for violating the constitution.  We are a Republic and not run by a dictator.  Any military action must have Congressional approval since the Syrian conflict is not a threat to our security.  It is a threat to Israel security but not ours.   

Liberals/Progressives like to put forth feel good legislation and actions without taking a hard look at the consequences of their proposals.  Just looking at Obamacare that was 2700 pages and we now see over 18,000 pages of regulations because very little thought went into the legislation and the consequences just like we are seeing today in the possibility of military action in Syria.   

As police officers like to say in a conflict between two rival groups, is to wait and lock up the winners.  In this case, we know with certainty that Al Qaeda and other anti-US/Israel groups make up a good portion of what is now the rebels and if we take military action and are successful in eliminating Bashar Assad from power, then we will see an Islamic state that will have the support of Iran and then we will be involved in a conflict that one can be certain these groups will take against Israel.  Although, we know from this president's action that he is not a friend of Israel and may just sit and watch.  Then there will be a nuclear conflict in the region all because our president had a big mouth and had to act tough by using the phrase of crossing the red line.  Better to stay on the sidelines and wait to see the results of the Syrian conflict then be the cause of an escalating conflict that will have world wide consequences.
