Within hours after Obama announced that we were sending some small arms to Syrian rebels, Iran announced it is putting 4,000 more pairs of boots on the ground to back Assad. Yesterday, during a one-on-one with Putin, Putin basically told Obama to take a hike in his request for Russia to pressure Assad into backing down, although he did agree to ask Assad to come to the negotiating table. The rebel forces include radical Muslims and Al Qaeda. We are going to join our enemies in fighting our enemy?
There is no way we can win anything in this battle. We can lose everything. I honestly do not see the United States committing small arms and stopping there; as the battle continues to go Assad's way while he collects bigger weapons, heavy artillery and more manpower, the U.S. will next be drawn into committing air support which Russia has already indicated it will counter.
Never in my life have I advocated getting out of a war. We're not into this thing yet... weapons still have to be gathered and shipped. But, I'm already saying, "Turn tail and run like hell." Get out of there. We cannot win anything and we stand the risk of starting World War III.
The only reason we're getting involved at all is because Obama is in deep crapola with his domestic scandals; he simply needs to change the focus of our concerns.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
