Syria, Iran, Russia Slam Obama’s Strategy

[Scootaloo]

13. And it's fucking stupid then, too

Russia and Iran are opposed for a variety of reasons. Primarily hte fact that these three nations are allies - in fact Iran and Syria have a defense agreement, dating to 2006, and news is, Iran and Russia are formulating one at the moment.

Second, because Obama has just announced that Syria has no right to sovereignity and that we are committing our resources to overthrowing its government. Just bald and up-front like that. While yes it is hypocritical of Russia to complain about this, it's also hypocritical of us to make such a declaration while chiding Russia for Ukraine. Both nations are very wrong, and as i hope you know, two wrongs don't make a right.

Third, yes, because it will bolster the "rebels." Or as we would call them if we weren't dedicated to the obliteration of Arab states, "terrorist insurgents." These aren't nice guys. Drop the Reagan rhetoric of "freedom fighters" and "sons of liberty" and shit like that, it doesn't apply. All our support for them will do is create more chaos, prolong the civil war, and probably end up empowering al-Nusra to take up the power vacuum that will supposedly be left by IS. because the "Free Syria Army" is likely to lose support - what little they have left - if they march forth with American bombers hammering Syria in front of them. You do understand that we will not be "greeted as liberators" by now, don't you? They don't give a shit that the president is now a democrat and thus supposedly infallible.

"No one could have predicted this!" the next administration will say. Or hell, this administration if the shit flies fast enough to hit the fan in time.

The president's plan regarding Syria is as stupid in September 2014 as it was in September 2013.
