Are Iraq and Afghanistan any better than before we intervened? No, any guns or weapons you give the rebels might end up in the hands of Al Qaeda.
Leave it to the UN this time see if they can fuck it up any worse than we would.
Not only that, but unsubstantiated reports of chemical warfare being used by the loyalist army are just that. Maybe they're true, maybe they're not. We have no confirmation or way of knowing at this time. The same allegations were made against the Syrian rebel army previously, btw. They also denied the allegations.
Remember when the US government was trying to drum up public support for the Iraqi invasion/war?
..Remember those weapons of mass destruction including weaponized anthrax that Sadam Hussein was supposedly using?
...Remember how Colin Powell and the US government fed that false info to the UN and other world leaders?
....Remember how the US government fed that false info to the media to spoon feed to the US public?
.....Remember how there was never valid confirmation that it was true?
.......Remember how it's since been 100% confirmed and officially documented that those weapons of mass destruction never existed?
I remember.
There's a shitload of atrocity going down in Syria in their civil war. If we don't belong there when they're shooting each other to death on the street and battle fields, why do we belong there because somebody says that one side is using chemical weapons and somebody else says it's the other side?
