You are reading too many conspiracy blogs. < What happens if we bomb Syria?> 1. Iran will most certainly retaliate against Israel. 2. Turkey and Jordan will be forced to choose sides based on their UN bases. 3. Russia may not have boots on the ground, so to speak, but they will supply arms, equipment, training and intelligence to Assad. 4. Most of the muslim world will throw in against us based on principle 5. European countries will be dragged into it eventually. 6. Russia said that it would counter with an attack on Saudi Arabia> 1. Iran did nothing when we invaded Afghanistan on their eastern border, and Iraq on their western border. 2. What UN bases? The UN runs refugee camps, and the U.S. has military bases in Turkey. 3. Yes, Russia has been supplying weapons to Syria's government for 50 years. They will keep doing so. They didn't do anything when Syria was being defeated by Israel in the 1967 and 1973 wars. 4. All the Muslim world didn't do anything when we invaded Iraq or Afghanistan, and hasn't been doing anything while we regularly do drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen. They can be counted on to continue doing nothing. 5. All the European countries except France have said they will no nothing. Even France hasn't promised anything other than diplomatic support. 6. Do you have a link to that, or did you just make it up?

American 'Boots on the Ground' in Syria? John Kerry's Facepalm Moment The secretary of state said troops could be deployed to Syria if the situation "imploded" -- then quickly walked the statement back.

It's good to see you keep your idiocy "in house".... I do the same... Let's look at your points: 1. Israel hasn't really come out "against" our hitting Syria and I believe that that's because they HOPE that Iran would HIT them. Their biggest worry is that Iran will get nukes and the U.S. won't do anything about it. If Iran attacks Israel then the U.S. will be FORCED by public opinion to attack Iran. 3. Russian is ALREADY sending everything they can get away with to Syria. This ain't gonna make no difference. 4. The Muslim World is made up of Sunnis and Shiites. The Sunnis (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Dubai) want to try and control the Shiites (Syria, Iran, Iraq). We've been allies with the Sunnis for the most part for at least 3 decades. I don't think your other points are worth responding to....
