"THE Syrian war often seems like a big confusing mess but one factor that is not often mentioned could be the key to unlocking the conflict. Some experts have pointed out that many of the key players have one thing in common: a billion-dollar gas pipeline."


A good run down of whole thing.

Amazing that the MSM rarely mentions the $10 billion pipeline deal, isn't it? Our leader is being played. Either that, or the threats finally got to him.

[Unclefred]

It's not just the money, but the politically strategic advantage of the pipeline. We should hold those cards. Go Trump.

I'm going to second this one. Strategy is not always money.

Facts wouldn't back up that claim for the past two wars, so . . .

I like AMTV. He has some good videos and insight.

[Coastie dad]

I can make up any facts I want, given enough time to manipulate statistics I have gathered from chosen sources. I can cite those facts as legitimate. Then anything you say to refute my facts, must be countered with your own. And while you are trying manufacture your facts, I have time to repeat mine enough they become accepted as truth.

And if I, a simpleton, can figure that play out.....

So....why were we over there for years? It will come back to money. No matter the commodity, it comes back to money.

Never said it did not have to do with money, but the claim that we are/were over there for oil kind of falls apart when we did not get any oil and their production is stopped . . .

[Coastie dad]

That's our government's stupidity. How many times have I said we should play for pay and spoils?

In your opinion, why have we invested so much into this war on terror?

[juskom95]

-Money
-EGO
-Misguided obligations
-Undue Guilt
Pick one of the above.

-Security (small bit there)
Yes, security. We have an option, keep them scrambling over there or become isolationists and accept more violence here.

[Coastie dad]

Pick one?
Hell....I could pick the whole menu and be correct.

[juskom95]

Yup. Kind of an 'All Of The Above,' scenario.

In my view, the war on terror started when President Reagan decided the priorities of the Carter administration and his intelligence agencies were badly askew. While Carter was futzing about harping on 'human rights', the Soviets were bankrolling and spreading Terror, which Reagan felt was the ultimate source of the assault on the worlds human rights. Reagan took the War on Terror directly to the Soviets and their Libyan, Iranian, Syrian and other state puppets.

[Coastie dad]

Hmmm....worth considering....could be a valid opinion here...

Yeah...I'm kind of liking it.. makes some sense.

Considering how involved Iran has been in Afghanistan and Iraq . . . they deserve an ass whooping.

They deserve an ass whopping just for being muslims. All the other stuff they have been doing just means said ass whopping should be fatal.

[Coastie dad]

Methinks there could be some anti Muslim sentiment on this forum...

Please be compassionate. They may be slightly confused.

[Dwight55]

I'm not sure I would lift one finger to stop a president who ordered the total destruction of Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.

Then stood up with a bloody rag head rag in one hand and asked: "Anyone else???"

Sounds cruel, mean, dirty, . . . but if they had a chance you can bet they would already have done it to us. Fact is they are trying to get to where they can.

May God bless,
