#2 If the Islamist ( is there any other kind? ) rebels to the Assad Regime want ( listen to them "demand" ) the Assad AF off their targets ( turbans )...then it means they are hurting. If your enemy wants something, never let him have it,(even if you are doing fine) .
Our 'friends" in the opposition kill their prisoners? That's nice. Keep doing it. Dead Syrians is dead Syrians, can't be enough of that. WHO CARES if the Moslems gas each other? Would YOU be willing to die to stop them? Know anybody in the Platoon who would? Obama is a wimping weasel and he would be ready for you to get blown away as long as he isn't late for that golf appointment. I mean, what KIND of a man are we talking here? He ain't no Sgt. Rock. He's Sgt. Gaylord.
The anti-Assad people are Iranian puppets...uh....screw'em.
Russia ain't our friend, and they sure showed us what Obama is good for. He's solid Waffleman in a pink cape.
The "rebels" in Syria are going to wither on the vine eventually. So Syria descends into bleeding chaos? They have Allah, let Him make it up to them. Obama will be in the corner playing pocket pool for the next 2 yrs. Got a job yet?

#3 Obama is a wimping weasel.

You do know that 10% of Syrians are Christian, yes? And that 16% of them are the kind of "Other Muslim" that includes such heretical groups as Alawites and Druze who aren't really muslim at all? Go read the CIA World Factbook for a bit, and learn something useful.

#5 syrian regome air power is only about 15% of what it was 2 years ago, in another six months it will likely be close to zero unless the russians find a way to replace parts of the kinds of relics that the regime still has
