    There are so many reasons to stay out of Syria that it will be difficult to list, but here goes:
    1) We absolutely cannot trust Obama. He lies frequently and easily.
    2) Syrian rebels for the most part are even more diabolical than Assad.
    3) Our military is worn down by wars and Obama purposeful ruination.
    4) We are broke.
    5) Wider conflict escalation. What happens if one of our naval vessels are sunk? If Russia decodes to intervene? Hezbollah attacks Israel? Etc. etc.

    As for #3, can you at least mention that a major part of the reason the military is worn down is becasue the United States attacked Iraq in 2003 based on false and intentionally misleading evidence that led to a 10+ year commitment with 150k troops on the ground, 4,000+ dead, 10’s of thousands injured for life, close to an unpaid for $1.7 trillion war cost and over $6 trillion+ in future cost in taking care of the vets of that war….all Obama’s fault right???

    Can you also at least mention the 426 children and hundreds of other civilians that Assad murdered with chemical weapons?? All Obama is proposing is a limited missile strike to prevent and deter Assad from repeating those actions.
