they were trying for years, the US has been sending millions in humanitarian JI7 Aug 2013 #11

And yet no meeting to resolve the situation. Pterodactyl Aug 2013 #12

John Kerry has met with him JI7 Aug 2013 #14

But Obama has not. Pterodactyl Aug 2013 #15

this problem is not Obama , as it was said below, it would make more sense to sit down with the JI7 Aug 2013 #16

The current crisis is not between the US and the rebels. Pterodactyl Aug 2013 #17

Really?!?! Then those warships steaming toward Syria are just a parade? Pterodactyl Aug 2013 #33

the issue is Assad using Chemical weapons , it's pathetic you try to make this about Obama JI7 Aug 2013 #35

It's time to ask Assad to call for democratic elections. kentuck Aug 2013 #13

That would be cool if it happened. Pterodactyl Aug 2013 #19

New leader, that would be nice. Now how to go about getting that new leader. is the big question. lumpy Aug 2013 #24

Talk, talk, talk is better than war, war, war... kentuck Aug 2013 #27

has Assad said he wants to talk ? JI7 Aug 2013 #29

Hell, no--he's a dictator, way worse than his daddy. MADem Aug 2013 #54

Why should Assad have a "summit" with al-Qaeda leaders? delrem Aug 2013 #32

rebels include people besides Al Qaeda leaders JI7 Aug 2013 #36

heh. well, al-Qaeda holds the "liberated" territory. delrem Aug 2013 #40

what does that have to do with anyone who isn't al qaeda meeting Assad ? JI7 Aug 2013 #41

Hell, Assad can meet with Miley Cyrus for all I care. delrem Aug 2013 #42
