Let's put aside all arguments for a few and just assume that the we are going to hit Syria.
With that let's ask the most basic of questions
What will be the objective?
Is Assad the target?
If we do bomb, wouldn't we be helping out sworn enemies of the U.S?

It's been suggested the objective would be to limit or deter the use of Chemical Weapons. A regime change is not part of that goal.

What will be the objective?
To kill Arabs? A body count? Buy more weapons? Appease the military industrial complex? Scare Christians? Need a good storyline for the next Call of Duty video game before Christmas?
Where is Saudi Arabia? They are armed with US weapons. Syria is their neighbor, why aren't they the first to step in? You would think as a regional power they would be the FIRST to intervene when seeing their fellow Arab Muslims get gassed. Why would the US and the UK be the first to intervene? Ohhhh, maybe the petrol dollar agreement has something to do with it.

LOL WUT???
WTF does that mean?

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the United States will fall into a trap laid in Syria by the Zionists, if Washington launches a military strike on the Arab country.
“The Syria crisis is a trap set by Zionist pressure groups for this country (the United States),” said Zarif in a Tuesday TV interview.
If the White House gets involved in a war on Syria, said Zarif, US President Barack Obama will undoubtedly leave a very unpleasant memory of his presidency in peoples’ minds.
The top Iranian diplomat argued that any adventurism in Syria will ignite tension in the entire Middle East, adding, “If the crisis flares up, it cannot be confined to one region.”
On August 21, the militants operating inside Syria and the foreign-backed Syrian opposition claimed that 1,300 people had been killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds in the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar.
A number of Western countries, including the US, France, and the UK, were quick to adopt the rhetoric of war against Syria despite the fact that Damascus categorically rejected the baseless claim, and announced later that the chemical attack had actually been carried out by the militants themselves as a false flag operation.
Since Tuesday, speculations have become stronger about the possibility of a military attack on Syria. Media outlets have been reporting US plans for likely surgical attacks, which would be in the form of “cruise-missile strikes,” and “could rely on four US destroyers in the Mediterranean [Sea].” The plan, however, seems to be awaiting US President Barack Obama’s go-ahead.
Iran, Russia and China, among other countries, have warned against foreign military intervention in Syria, which has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011.
A very large number of the militants operating inside Syria are reportedly foreign nationals.
The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been killed and many more displaced since the outbreak of the violence.

jleel Aug 28, 2013 1:30 PM The Syrian situation has some similiarities with the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. When Israel faced unexpected stiff resistance from the Lebanese, it dragged the U S A into Lebanon. Now as Israel finds the Syrian war unwinnable, it wants U S missile strikes against Syria. It is cleverly putting France and U K into the forefront only to pressurise the U S into action. As every action with zero casualties to U S forces is hailed inside U S, Israel is pressing for U S missile strikes against Syria to help the so called Syrian rebels. Clearly Israel and the west want to ensure an Al Qaeda victory in Syria and Syrian civil war is an Israeli proxy war against Syria. Click to Rate ReplyRating16

absolutely no one in their right mind believed that Al-Assad had used chemical weapons on its own people JUST when the UN chemical inspections team was coming to call!!!! DUH!

And what should his response be, you have yet to make that clear, I'm guessing you will wait for Obama to act and say yes he did the right thing no matter what he does.

Let's put aside all arguments for a few and just assume that the we are going to hit Syria.
With that let's ask the most basic of questions
What will be the objective?
Is Assad the target?
If we do bomb, wouldn't we be helping out sworn enemies of the U.S?
Questions that haven't been answered, however judging that Obama and co have funded the rebels any strike would be against Assad, even though there is more proof that it was the FSA who released the chemicals. If we do bomb what exactly do we bomb? And yes Obama will be helping our enemies which so many of our soldiers lost their lives fighting against, he is basically pissing on their graves. The rebels have been known to massacre Christians and execute anyone who might have any loyalty to Assad, that includes women and children. They post propaganda videos showing beheadings, murders, and yes even chemical weapons tests.
Another question they will not answer is why would Assad use chemical weapons when he is winning, they know damn well what the response would be if caught using them. The only one who has anything to gain from a chemical weapon attack is the rebels because they to know what the response will be. If you listen to our president he would like you to believe this is the first time chemicals were used during this war, it is not, the FSA were caught using them and Obama turned a blind eye when he learned who released them. As I said before anyone who paid attention to this war knows this administration is trying to sell a bullsh1t argument.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

Again. I am waiting to see what his response is before I can say if I approve or not. You've already condemned any response no matter how useless or how effective.
My guess so far it will be a strike on stockpiles of chem weapons. I doubt that will be a very effective deterrence.

The US should not be supporting the use of chemical weapons by anyone.
