Syria: An American Affair!

Face off.

President Barack Obama is roundly facing opposition from the equals of the left and the right over this issue with Syria. The Middle Eastern country is in a huge civil war, and there's reports that chemical weapons were used on civilians. The president blames the Syrian government for the chemical weapons use and wants to strike upon the country.

Longtime leader Bashar al-Assad has denied that his government was responsible for using chemical weapons.

He warned the United States and its allies that anything goes if they invade the country.

As the commander-and-chief, Obama has to outline his military strategy. He wants procedure strikes on military bases and spots that contain chemical weapons. The president can do that as he pleases since he's the military leader. But some are bitching about the Constitution and the possibility of going into a long drawn out war.

He's getting criticized by the Opposition Team (Rand Paul, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee) on how he should address this issue in Syria. They wanted him to go to Congress to issue a declaration of war. Then when he shocked the junk food media with that, the same members of th Opposition Team are bitching about how it's a weak move by a president.

But also his core supporters, the progressives are dismayed that this could happen. I am for one concerned that the president is making a dire mistake entering into this conflict. But who am I to stop him?

I mean honestly most U.S. presidents have intervened in global affairs. This one is different. The amount of opposition is basically roundly from both sides. 

The war weary American public isn't in favor of meddling in Syria.

President Barack Obama laid out a red line and told that action will be taken. So where's the action?

He's been bombarded by the left on his promise not to start wars. He's been bombarded by the right on his transparency. And of course, the right doesn't want to give him a victory and they're trying to figure ways to "impeach" him.

The Republican Party itself is even defiant in war. This party and its former standard bearer George W. Bush were unison in getting the war drums beating. The Republicans had unanimous support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, two of the longest combat wars in the history.

This possibility of going into Syria has strained relationships with Russia. The Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin is strongly against this proposal. Russia is an ally of Syria and they believe that there's not enough proof of chemical weapons use.

Today, officials have confirmed that Syria is probably willing to give up chemical weapons to strain off an airstrike from the American military.

There's a discussion about it. A healthy and yes sometimes unproductive discussion of war.

The country is strained with economic turmoils because of the impact of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Republican Party is trying to tarnish the legacy of President Barack Obama regardless of what he does.

We already hear talk from Rand Paul that he'll filibuster the move. Instead of writing legislation, he's going to do another camera grabbing moment to win over a few clueless stans.

John McCain was caught playing online poker while at the White House. The three hour discussion on a war strategy and McCain is playing video games. This old fool had the nerve to say that he'll talk to House members about impeachment.

John Boehner is on board with the president. And in a few days, he'll vote probably against the proposal since he's getting flack from his Tea Party members.
 
Pete King called the president decision a good move, but still criticized him for not being an effective leader.

Steve Stockman is already plotting a drafting of Articles of Impeachment.

Democrats are split too. Nancy Pelosi support the president. But those progressives and Blue Dog Democrats are fighting over it as well.

Syria sits within the western quadrant of the Middle East.

It's a big situation if we strike Syria. A country that no one can find on a map, but it's in those in the junk food news media who bring up those stories of those "scary Muslims."

I am actually disappointed in how far we've gotten to this moment. I mean the United States is the only global superpower in the world. Its influence has decreased since the two wars.

Many overseas view Americans as ignorant.

Yeah, we're ignorant.

Many conservative minded Americans believe that anyone who doesn't speak English (American) should go back to their country.

Many conservative minded Americans and liberal minded Americans believe Muslims aren't to be trusted.

Even though a majority of Muslims denounce the religious extremism, many are targeted for hate crimes because of perceived fears of 9/11 and the Benghazi saga.

Many conservative minded Americans would follow a Republican leader into war. They'll finger wag when a Democrat wants to go into a war. King Hippo and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win are two fine examples of that.

They we're the biggest cheerleaders for war in Iraq and called those who opposed it, "anti-American".

The very same cheerleaders are booing and crowing that this potential for strike in Syria is "anti-American."

Tonight President Barack Obama will deliver a speech to the nation about his proposals and the latest developments in Syria.

Russia's move to have chemical weapons removed may take some claim out of the storm. The conservative agitators are blasting the president for allowing Russia take control of the situation. Instead of understand the means of diplomacy, they're arm chair warriors plotting their strategies if they were the commander-and-chief.

The president welcomed any suggestions to end the conflict. But yeah, he's still can get the go-ahead to strike if Congress refuses to authorize. The president is still willing to take this on.

Diplomacy is on the way. Secretary of State John Kerry's first year on the job and he's got one of the toughest moves to make. Could he imagine this conflict gotten to this point!

What's your take on the possibility of the United States engaging in a war with Syria?
