The best reason to support Syrian War: President Obama deserves his OWN new war...

The man has been stuck with Bush's hand-me-down wars for the last half-decade. He's made the best of them, but they are so worn out that even the thrift store wouldn't take them now. Why is if fair that Bush gets to start two wars and our guy doesn't get to start any? And it's not like he hasn't been trying -- he's been bombing the crap out of everyone (including American citizens and their kids) but so far NOTHING!

Is that fair? Why the double standard?

I say, President Obama deserves to have his own new war with all kinds of fresh new killing and mayhem! It's only fair. Oh, and national security or something.

if a neutral country would step up and host an Obama-Assad dick measuring contest. Its no more stupid than war, and is much more practical.

We went in and out quick and everyone was not hollering about 'war' or using that word.

And now regarding Syria the media keeps using the word 'war' over and over and everyone is going nuts!
