Truth known, we should have invaded Iran and Syria along with Iraq back in 2003. Personally, I would have invaded Jordan and Pakistan, to boot, and just gutted ALL the dens of terrorism in the Middle East.

During the 18 months between George Bush announcing the necessity of invading Iraq and our actually ENTERING Iraq (yes, it was 18 LONG MONTHS of Congressional hesitation before they agreed to take action), Saddam Hussein transferred a great deal of his WMD into Syria, and international intelligence KNOWS that.

Our CONGRESS knew that, Senator Hillary Clinton KNEW that, as did MANY of the anti-war Democrats in the Senate. In the end, those Democrats AGREED to invade Iraq, but only after 18 months of Congressional debate.

What do you glean from that fact? Well, I think our Congress WANTED Saddam Hussein to evacuate his WMD to Syria, and I think the Congressional Democrats BOUGHT HIM the TIME to do it.

This person was courageous, to bring this to light. Any step against tyranny is a good step.

I can understand the blindfold and shackles, given that these were people captured after killing police and/or army members. The beatings are rather uncivilized, but then again we don't know what the other side is doing to their captives, or how isolated these incidents are. We can probably find incidents of at least equal brutality in our own state prisons if we look hard enough, the question is how numerous the incidents are and whether this is official policy.

Still not sufficient reason to invade Syria.

The U.S. Administration, namely the President, added such language back into the DAA to allow the U.S. government to arrest any U.S. citizen, or any foreign national without probable cause, to hold them indefinitely without a right to an attorney, and to send them to foreign countries to be tortured. Maybe this hospital is being set up for such detained U.S. citizens as vacation spots?

We in the rest of the world hopes the U.S. has a higher standard of human rights. This is terrible. The world must steps in to stop this violation now!!

This is nothing compared to the Americans who put ladies panties on the heads of terrorist and let big scary dogs bark at them.

Maybe Libya could help. Or Iran. Or Lebanon. Or Egypt. Or Saudi Arabia. Or Iraq. Or ...

The USA should just stay out of it. We can't win!

Obama has perpetuated this mess by not pulling U.S. troops out of all Middle Eastern countries. We should not be there and SHOULD be rebuilding America's energy independence. This foolish "president" (small caps because he does not deserve much respect) should be removed in the next election.
