Syrian Tanks attack another village. US stays quiet.

Don't get me wrong.

The absolute last thing the US needs to be involved in is another conflict.  But we need a bit of clarity when it comes to our foreign policy.

We attacked Libya because he threatened to attack his people.

The Syrians are rampaging through the countryside and we're looking slack eyed and silly.

I don't get it.

NICOSIA - Syrian troops backed by tanks swept into new villages in the northwestern province of Idlib, a rights activist told AFP in Nicosia.

Around 60 tanks and armoured personnel carriers rumbled into two villages in the countryside of Idlib, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Abdel Rahman said the troops were exiting from the village of Al-Bara when they split into two units, one heading towards the village of Kafr Nabl and the other to the village of Kansafra.

The operation comes a day after Syrian forces killed 10 civilians who opened fire as they stormed villages in the district of Jabal al-Zawiyah to quash dissent against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad, activists said.
Oh and don't think that this is a new development.  The Syrians have been roughing up its civilians for weeks now and little to nothing has been done about it.

Kind of makes you wonder what the real truth is behind the attacks in Libya.

  1. well i think much of this lies in the hatred of Ghadafi in europe. He is responsible for several terror attacks there and this uprising gave them the reason to attack, they just knew they couldnt handle it themselves so we got dragged along with their sorry asses.

  3. quite honestly, the Israeli's have a model foreign policy. they act in their own self interests at all times...even when it pisses their allies off.

    i'd like it if we followed their lead. but Syria isn't anything...the only real backing they have is from Iran and truth be told the Iranians are scared of there own shadows. the mullahs are trying there best to hold on to power.

    the real deal is that our foreign policy is a feel good mess of stupidity and a lack of common sense. we need adults in charge again.

  4. isreal's foreign policy is only that way because it has no consequences, we veto every measure thats brought against them at the security council, and we prop up their economy, if we were as unchecked as the isrealis we would get retaliation economically and while everyone would go down with us it wouldnt be good.
