T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 41974789 United States 09/12/2013 10:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you believe Assad is giving up his chems, because Putin came up with a good idea, and not the threat of having his ass executed by the rebels when the US curb stomps his ass. Well then your just retarded. They only way for Assad to stay in power for a little while longer, is to give up his weapons. The US will eventually bomb Syria, even if we have no reason to. The US is run by the military war machine. And they get bored quickly, plus it makes a ton of money for certain people, and banks. It will happen. He can keep the chems for all I care. His days are numbered. I, however, do not agree with this. I like most Americans are against any military intervention anywhere. We should bring all ours troops home, guard the borders, get rid of the Mexicans, and start building the economy. |
