Do you support a US attack on Syria or Iran?

[Chicago Democrat]

Poll question: Do you support a US attack on Syria or Iran?

[evil_orange_cat]

1. depends...

I'm leaning towards no... but it depends on what happens. If things don't change, and barring a major terrorist attack from either country, I probably would not support an attack.

[CityZen-X]

21. My Bet....

is that one of two have the bomb. in one form of another.
As Dirty Harry stated "do you feeel lucky punk"!

[devinsgram]

36. Let me help you with that lean.

If we bomb anybody again, well let's just put it this way, have you ever heard the saying "bend over and kiss your rosebud goodbye," because that is exactly what will happen to us. Iran and Syria are not like Iraq.

[CityZen-X]

38. Got Your Back !

"Duck and Cover"!

[imenja]

2. I have trouble believing anyone on this site supports more wars

[Kikosexy2]

3. Unless...

you want to the obliterate mankind...okay go for it--we're awaiting the Second Coming of Christ anyways.

[TyeDye75]

4. I voted other

because my answer is plain no.

Without all the 'oh my god' jazz before it

[Chicago Democrat]

9. sorry, its was meant to be slightly humorous..

:)

[SmokingJacket]

16. It actually reflected perfectly how I feel...

(and I'm not even religious)

;-)

[TyeDye75]

19. Sorry if I sounded like an ass

that wasnt my intention...:) :)

[Chicago Democrat]

48. lol

[CBGLuthier]

5. Wonder who voted for Iran?

Yeah, let's just march into Iran and watch as the Iraquis rise from behind and Iran resists.

Plus the possibility of nukes.

Not to mention, WTF has Iran done to us? Other than the ass-monkey's claim that they fund terrorism, like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia don't?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

41. The 6 people who voted to invade either Iran, Syria, or both scare me.

They've got to either be lurking freepers or simply hate arabs.

Note: Yes I know Iranians are Persian. Most others don't though.

[atxryan]

6. another quagmire?

Good god?!?! attacking Iran would dwarf the quagmire that is Iraq... I don't support it, but I could see a successful attack on Syria.

[applegrove]

7. Don't say you support anything - they'll use it to draft you!!

[SnoopDog]

8. Have they done anything to warrant an attack?

Have they attacked us?

[Chicago Democrat]

11. Iran is building a Nuclear weapon.

Some people think that gives someone the right to bomb the facility. Israel did that to Iraq in the 1980s.

[SnoopDog]

28. I predicted a reply like yours...

Yes, some people think that it gives them carte blanc - oh, like the prick(s) in the WH.

USA is the only country to 'drop' a nuke and purposefully killed people - not a good mark on our score card.

Many many other countries have Nukes - Russia, India, who else (I just don't have the list in front of me). Should we go and 'get' them too?

I could be wrong... But it seems like before Jan 2000, the world was relatively at peace. Then bush comes to office and all of a sudden we have 'evil-doers' and 'outposts of tyranny'. This idiot goes around and singles out countries as 'evil'. And then attacks a nation who did no direct harm to us.

Countries are now building alliances against us. Why? Because we have a warmonger in office - the most evil president ever. They are simply protecting themselves against the madman we call *.

Impeach this moron out of office and the world will be safer.

[imenja]

40. the world wasn't at peace before 2000

by no stretch of the imagination: Chechnya, Palestine, the Congo, and a bit further back Rwanda and the Balkans. I doubt the world has ever been at peace. But there is no question Bush has made it worse, particularly for our own national security.

[clem_c_rock]

37. And you were one of those CNN guys who said this about Iraq too

Have we not learned anything?

[MrSlayer]

10. Why stop with just Iran and Syria? Invade Canada and France too!!

Hell, let's just declare war on everyone except England and POLAND!

:crazy:

[LongRoadAhead]

12. We're already at war ... RIGHT HERE!

Why don't those delusional rightwing nuts realize we're already at war right here at home? Why do they want to fight another one somewhere else???!!!!!!

[MrSlayer]

13. Because war is profit for them.

The human toll is meaningless to them it's all about maximizing the dollars.


Welcome to DU.

[LongRoadAhead]

15. I don't understand why they think it's so worth it ...

is human life that cheap to them? Is profit all that matters?

[MrSlayer]

17. Yes and Yes.

You see what's been going on the past couple of years with this crew.

[LongRoadAhead]

20. Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't understand it.

Why does it have to be that way?

[MrSlayer]

31. Well because these people are power mongers.

They are amoral, unfeeling profiteers that live in a very different world than you and I. To them the only things that matter are money and power and they have no qualms about obtaining it through methods that are illegal and unethical. I don't understand how anyone can be so callus and cavalier with the lives of others either but they have a proven track record of being just that. The thing that really bothers me is how apathetic most of the population is about these things, these guys should have been frogmarched out of the White House long ago.

[imenja]

26. only that war is running the economy into the ground

Our deficit is skyrocketing, and the war and the tax cuts are the reasons why.
I realize Halliburton and the other Bush-Cheney cronies profit, but for most of us it's economically disastrous.

[MrSlayer]

34. Absolutely.

But they don't care about the rest of us as long as they are raking it in.

[imenja]

14. No, conquer the Brits first

and get rid of that ridiculous royal family :nuke:

[MemphisTiger]

23. We can't for get POLAND

[truebrit71]

18. NO!!!!! In fact FUCK NO!!!!!

We were attacked by Al-Q on 9/11 so we invade...Iraq? Why on earth should we compound the error and attack two OTHER countries that had bugger all to do with it?

Bring the troops home now.

[MemphisTiger]

22. Only if they attack us first

[maveric]

29. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT IRAN OR SYRIA WILL ATTACK US?

Gimme a fucking break! Is that like the neocon thought process that said that Saddam was a threat to us and could have attacked us?
Dont EVEN go there!

[MemphisTiger]

30. That's why I said, "ONLY IF THEY ATTACK US FIRST"

I wouldn't have invaded Iraq, because THEY DIDN'T ATTACK US FIRST. So there's your break. Who says "Don't even go there"

[maveric]

43. Please excuse my reationary response. I'm surrounded by freepers

down here and I hear nonsense like "Saddam would have attacked us and our women would be wearing burquas", all the time.
Sorry for mistaking you for one of them.

[MemphisTiger]

44. I understand, I didn't want you thinking I was one of THEM

[IranianDemocrat]

51. WHY WOULD THEY ATTACK??!!

.

[MemphisTiger]

53. I don't know. Why would any country attack anouther country?

We just have to respond IF that were to happen

[Jacobin]

24. I support Bush*s 2003 SOU address, viz his concerns on sex trade

Accordingly, I support the invasion, conquest and occupation of all counties in Nevada having a population smaller than 100,000 where prostitution is legal.

[maveric]

25. Those who vote to attack, show yourselves and tell us why its ok to kill

more innocent,brown people to make guilty, white, corporate criminals rich.
You've got to be a freeper to vote for such!

C'mon! Show yourselves!

[imenja]

42. I can think of only two possible categories of people who vote yes

1) freeper trolls 2) Democrats who are very concerned about Israel's national security and think it is appropriate for the US to go to war to defend it.
I'd be interested in hearing other reasons.

[rumpel]

27. This was all part of the neocon plan. I posted some time ago an article by

debkafile, which is supposedly connected to the Mosaad (Israeli intelligence). At the time everyone said that debka can not be trusted, yet at the time the MSM was only talking about Iran, people thought, oh no, bush is now beating the drums to attack Iran.
So here we are, a "co-incidental" attack in Lebanon, which gives bush the excuse to gather support. Considering rumsfeld's Special Ops operating all over the place, the only soundbyte on MSM coming from the intelligence hearing being: Al Caeda is ready to strike with nukes, the propaganda has started. I would not be surprised if this is all by design, just like Iraq.
We have to stop this insanity at all costs.

[demosincebirth]

32. Only if they invade us through Canada, then yes.

[tom_paine]

35. I won't support an invasion of Syria but I'd support an invasion of Poland

for strictly nostalgic reasons and an homage to the Nazis who's moeny Prescott Bush laundered

to the nazis who came here after DubyaDubyaTwo to join the Busheviks when they were headed by Dulles and Nixon

to the Nazis who served on the 1988 Bushevik Campaign's "Ethnic Outreach" programs

and just because it would lend a certain symmetry to the inheritors of the Good Germans, the Imperial Subjects of Amerika.

Go get 'em, Bushler! And don't forget to send in some Amermacht in Polish uniforms to create a fake provocation!

[demnan]

39. No, no and fuck no

But I'm for getting to the bottom of the 9/11 thing, no matter what we find.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

45. Seeing as how they can't even handle Iraq, it would be inadvisable.

Perhaps they ought to try something more attainable, like, Monaco?

[maveric]

47. 75 million people in Iran. With WMD's , a strong standing army, and

possibly nukes. Plus its still "happening" in Iraq. Do they want a second front? Do they care?

[DrGonzoLives]

46. Monaco, dammit

All your casino are belong to me.

[solinvictus]

49. No..

Hell, we can't even control Iraq, considering intelligence assessments assign an insurgent capacity to complete 60 or more attacks per day.

[IranianDemocrat]

50. Who the hell is voting yes?

Show yourselves you cowards.

[theresistance]

52. Obvious vote is NO ATTACK!!!

[Chicago Democrat]

54. One would think it would be an obvious mistake

But who know what is actually in their minds.
