20. If our Congress
Thu Aug 29, 2013, 06:40 PM

follows the will of the people, it will go down in defeat here too. I don't support it and I'm a Democrat and a veteran at that. I just don't support the rebels or Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I especially don't support Netanyahu either. Let them fight their own Wars and leave America out of it. I think they are a bunch of liars anyway. Especially when the head of the SNC is a Saudi puppet and answers to their crowned Prince. The same guy that tried to bribe the Russians. They just want to divide this country up so they can spread their own influence. Every area they got control over Syria, they started establishing their own laws over Syrians. There are millions of Alawites,Christians and Kurds in Syria. Just what do they think will happen if they change the power structure in this country? You will have more massacres in this country, just like Lebanon and Iraq. That is exactly the plan. It destabilizes yet another Arab country with only Egypt, Israel and Iran with a more stabilizing military force, to protect the country. Syria has one of the best Arab Armies in the Middle East right now, next to Egypt. You of course got the Saudis. Syria and maybe Egypt are the only secularist states left also which allows religious freedom.
