TO ARM OR NOT TO ARM SO-CALLED "REBELS" IN SYRIA

MCCAIN AND LIEBERMAN AND GRAHAM WANT US TO ARM THE SO-CALLED "REBELS" IN SYRIA AND/OR USE AIR-POWER TO DETER AND WEAKEN ASSAD.

OBAMA IS TYPICALLY LEADING FROM BEHIND.


KRAUTHAMMER DEFENDS OBAMA AND WANTS US TO DO NOTHING.

THEY ARE ALL WRONG.

WE SHOULD ARM ALL SIDES - ASSAD AND THE SCUM FROM THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND AL QAEDA AND ANY SO-CALLED "REBELS"(WHO MAY BE NO BETTER THAN ASSAD OR THE REBELS IN LIBYA) - AND LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

THE WAR WOULD BE LIKE A SELF-CLEANING OVEN.

WE CAN TELL THE GOOD SYRIANS - IF THERE ARE ANY - TO HIDE UNTIL IT'S ALL OVER OR TAKE REFUGE IN KURDISTAN UNTIL THE DUST SETTLES.


UPDATE: NRO-MCCARTHY:

I’ve argued that we’ve had our fill of a region teeming with hatred of the United States and the West, that we have no vital interest in the outcome of internecine savagery between an anti-American Muslim dictator and anti-American Muslim supremacists, and that if they insist on slaughtering each other, we should just buy some popcorn (which is all our tapped-out nation can afford, anyway) and watch the show, accepting the grim silver lining that as they weaken themselves they become less threatening to us.
