In reply to the discussion: New HORRIFYING video shows civilians getting SLAUGHTERED in SYRIA by the Syrian Air Force 2013-08-27 [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)67. Not all of the militants are FROM this area, and they didn't bring their kids.
Some of them are linked to the same folks we beat in Iraq. People who only lost because they couldn't help themselves from blowing up bystanders to get at US troops, or beheading people not adhering to extreme sects of Islamic interpretation. Basically, the people turned on them, because they were less palatable than we were.
Now some of them are in Syria, with the rebels. I wouldn't put it past them to use some of these weapons in hopes of triggering an international response that will benefit them. Not their kids, they don't care, just like they didn't care when they used Iraqi kids to lure troops into bombs.

I have trouble with your pushing of WAR. You continue to insult while claiming the opposite,.

No backtracking from you? No saying, "hey, you're right, that was a bad analogy".

I was referring to talking about me and analogies, rather than the issue at hand.

"Fap" means masturbating. It was a joke based on your "furiously wanking off" remark.

Was there ever actual evidence of "rape rooms" or "mobile biological weapons?"

Are you saying that the answer to Assad bombing Syria is the U.S. bombing Syria?

Yeah, you'd probably get your hope. It could very well help al Qaeda seize more territory.
