Statement on Additional Countries in Support of September 6 Joint Statement on Syria

On September 6, the United States and 10 other countries issued a joint statement on Syria, condemning in the strongest terms the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons on August 21 in the suburbs of Damascus and calling for a strong international response. The statement explicitly supports the efforts undertaken by the United States and other countries to reinforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons.

A big fat NO.
Didn't we learn anything from Vietnam?
Obama really needs to give back the Nobel peace prize. What a joke!

No we didn't otherwise, we'd not have supported an attack on Iraq. They had no role whatsoever in the attack on 9-11.

So the answer is a harsh "no". We learn nothing from our past mistakes.

And yes, I agree, take it away (or make him pay it back ........don't hold our breath on that one however. And perhaps consider Putin as the "Man of the Year for the Nobel Peace Prize. :twocents:

Disappointed there isn't a poll.

I am against the US going into Syria. I was against the war in Middle East.
We do not need to be sticking our nose into every other countries business.
