Right?? It’s Allahu Akbar this, Allahu Akbar, that. It’s sort of like mentally washing their hands in a way of the outcome or consequences of their actions, or of whatever’s going on around them. It’s a fatalistic mantra, a toast of a cop-out.

I’m starting to think “Allahu Akbar” is maybe the Islamic short-hand equivalent of,

You’re NOT making any sense. On one hand, you’re saying the “... Sunnis (in Syria) who are there have thrown their lots in with them (the Alawites) ....”

The troubles have already begun.

Hey, man, if you can’t take the time to read something beyond your 30-second attention span, not my problem. That ‘website describing small rebel groups as Islamists,’ is written by one of the country’s foremost experts on Syria.

It’s not about Shia vs Sunni in Syria. That’s red herring thrown about by propaganda. It’s well known that the Syrian government is non-sectarian and liberal. Kinda curious why you’d think not.

Europe CAN’T afford that number of refugees. No country or region can absorb that many foreigners in such a brief period of time and with so much economic and cultural disparity. It’s going to result in massive national and regional destabilization.

Obama is not ‘anti-imperialist.’ He simply doesn’t have the balls to stand up to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

It’s not my job to do your critical thinking for you. If you’re the sort who’s simply going to take whatever CNN, MSNBC or Fox News shovel at you, then there’s little point in trying to point anything out, is there?

Yep. And, if you REALLY want to know more about what’s really going on in Syria, I’d encourage you to read the blog of Prof. Joshua Landis, professor of Middle East Studies, University of Oklahoma.

Barely? C’mon ... the Pentagon just admitted last week to having spent at least $500 million so far “helping” these “freedom fighting Syrian rebels” (who really turned out to be Al-Qaeda sympathizers who couldn’t wait to give their U.S.-provided arms and munitions to the terrorists who masterminded 9/11).

Dude, quit recycling rightwing propaganda.

Fucking NEOCONS!!! They’re still in the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department, damn it!!

Iraq —- which is now under Iran’s sphere of influence?

Yeah, that’s why the U.S. can’t name ONE Syrian “rebel group” or “rebel leader” who truly espouses ‘freedom and democracy’ in Syria. I remember Sen. John McCain asking this question during a Senate hearing. No-one in the Pentagon or U.S. State Department could come up with an alternative to Assad.

Are you stupid, or just have an overactive imagination due to medications of some sort? A perfunctory effort at research would show everything you just said is absolutely false and ridiculous.

You sound like Merkel.

The Obama administration is ALREADY arming those “Syrian rebels” (salafist jihadists really). Where have you been??
