C'mon! Let's get rid of Assad already!
2011-11-28
By Max Boot

Although America should not act alone against Syria, U.S. leadership is needed to galvanize a coalition for effective action. That means President Obama will need to put away any lingering illusions about the desirability of maintaining Assad in power and do whatever is needed to help topple him swiftly, thereby limiting the physical and psychological damage to the Syrian people and easing the work of rebuilding a free Syria.

There were valid reasons for Af and Iraq but WTF, Libya? All the other African adventures? Yemen?

The Dems and Zero are nothing but blood-thirsty dog waggers.

#3  I should prefer the US not get involved in this situation until there are people with sanity at the helm of our nation. It's just not the time or place for the 8 year old's to get involved with.
