Again. Look at Kosovo. Clinton was dead-set against sending in troops, but once the air attacks failed then he did it anyway. Once we've committed to a goal we're going to do our damndest to accomplish it if only to save face. Which means that I have no faith in Obama's assurances to not send in troops. Obama's foreign policy is no different than Bush's. He's just as much of a war mongering neo-con and can go **** himself as far as I'm concerned.

the more i read i feel pretty apprehensive about arming the rebels cause it sounds like theres a good chance those weapons would end up in the hands of religous group terrorists or al quadea and i dont want them to have our weapons lol. maybe we could booby trap the weapons and give them directly to al quada?? lol thatd be awesome

Yeah, I have no faith in the cause of the rebels. Even if it doesn't lead to Al Qaeda seizing power I imagine it'll just lead to someone as bad or worse than Assad. Look at Egypt. Not nearly as bloody a conflict as Syria, and yet it's already going to ****. Violent revolutions never end well.
