Re: Re: Why Washington is at a loss over Syria

These people are either ignorant, willfully blind or part of some greater scheme that won't end well for the US. You'll note that aside from mention of some abuses by the military, Egypt has dropped out of the main stream media's spotlight. What's going on there is the ones who lead this uprising are being replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups. In other places the calls aren't so much for a Western Style Democracy but one based on Islam. In other words they will be more or less like Iran.

I also think it might be a case of Obama thinking the nation would bow at his brilliance for going to war in Libya but instead it turned on him, including many of his once strong supporters. Now he doesn't know what to do. In fact, a story today said that the US would be pulling out of Libya and giving it over to NATO. Maybe that's a good thing in that we are getting out of that mess or maybe those forces will be dumped somewhere else like Syria, Yemen or Ivory Coast.

Maybe if they handle Syria the way they are handling Libya, everything will be fine. Yeah, that's the ticket. Administrator
