2009, before the uprising of March 2011.
And I have eaten that restaurant, and stayed in the Old City where it is located, beautiful place.
The whole point of the trip was to reopen Syria.
Obviously did not work.

Did Iraq kill 3000 Americans 12 years before we supported them in 1980? Had Bin Ladin killed 3000 Americans 12 years before we supported the Taliban in 1978?

Did Assad kill thousands of Americans before Kerry had dinner with him, or before he gassed his people the last few months?TedSheckler;1494831 wrote:Did Iraq kill 3000 Americans 12 years before we supported them in 1980?

How so? You brought up Iraq vs. Iran and Afghanistan vs. Russia.
In neither of those instances had 3000 Americans been murdered by the side we seek to align with.

They are not expected to be in the main opposition fighting forces. They have joined in the fight to an extent as they just like to fight, but any action against Assad is because he is using chemical weapons.Nice try though.

That was Jenjis Khan. And Kerry by his own testimony did not fight against him but along side him.cruiser_96;1495050 wrote:Ummm, you guys do realize that John Kerry served in Vietnam, right? I think he fought against Genghis Kahn.

No No No, you all have it wrong. Has anyone ever seen Khan and Kerry in the same room at the same time?majorspark;1495058 wrote:That was Jenjis Khan. And Kerry by his own testimony did not fight against him but along side him.
Nope.
Because they are one in the same.

The reason why the President wants to attack is to basically tell Assad that they cannot use Chemical Weapons, and strikes are SUPPOSED to be some sort of deterrent to use it in the future. The US, we, are trying to be referee's I guess, right or wrongly. Just because a ref punishes one side doesn't mean he is supporting the other.
I guess we basically want to say to them....keep on fighting and killing each other, but don't use chemical weapons.
I guess...but who knows.
