McCain said today that he is concerned about the crisis in Syria and that it calls out for American intervention.
The opposite is true.
The Middle East is a mess, the people are rebelling against both their own elected leaders AND the jihadist.
The best thing that the US can do is to take every step to become energy independent and wash our hands of the nonsense. via Fox News.
Hundreds of thousands thronged the streets of Cairo and cities around the country Sunday and marched on the presidential palace, filling a broad avenue for blocks, in an attempt to force out the Islamist president with the most massive protests Egypt has seen in 2 1/2 years of turmoil.A few things.
In a sign of the explosive volatility of the country's divisions, young protesters mainly from the surrounding neighborhood pelted the main headquarters of President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood with stones and firebombs, and at one point a fire erupted at the gates of the walled villa. During clashes, Brotherhood supporters barricaded inside opened fire on the attackers, and activists said at least five protesters were killed.
At least five more anti-Morsi protesters were killed Sunday in clashes and shootings in southern Egypt.
Fears were widespread that the collisions between the two sides could grow more violent in coming days. Morsi made clear through a spokesman that he would not step down and his Islamist supporters vowed not to allow protesters to remove one of their own, brought to office in a legitimate vote. During the day Sunday, thousands of Islamists massed not far from the presidential palace in support of Morsi, some of them prepared for a fight with makeshift armor and sticks.
Israel better keep up on current events. Its bracketed on all sides by unstable countries. Syria, Egypt and Lebanon are all up shit's creek. The jihadist will seek to unify the people by attacking Israel. I'm betting on a real deal shooting war soon.
The people know somethings wrong but can't identify it. In reality its quite simple. We're looking at a modern day Animal Farm...a more common way of saying it is that the new leader is just like the old leader. It doesn't matter who is in charge in these countries. The cycle remains the same. Whoever is in power will be comfortable and take care of their allies. Those on the outside will suffer.
We can't help, but can only waste more treasure. The Middle East is a mess. A basket case. This entire region is ready to burn. I say we sit back, grab some popcorn and watch the fire.
You forget to mention that its all Obama's fault. He wanted all this to happen. I wish we can sit back and watch, but that never happens with team America.
ReplyDeleteWhile watching the fire and popcorneating, "refugees" from this arabic states will be imported as a cheap labor force to the warehouse in our neighborhood, then mosque will be built nearby, to make them happy you know, and voila you will be waking up from the screams of mulla every morning, and crime rate will rise 200%, to the point that children will not be able safely going to school alone.
ReplyDeleteWhat arabic collapse would produce: cheap oil, cheap raw resources, cheap labor force both within arabic states and abroad. So its pretty obvious who have made it happen.
not in America....maybe in backwater bumfuck Europe, but not in America. so fuck you.
