[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1189669, member: 44954"] Whats he doing? What politicians do best, playing games with people's lives. Iran is supporting the Syrian government, and the US is arming rebels that fight the Syrian government. Iran has spent 10 billion, and promised 7 billion more to aid the Syrian government. That kind of spending is destructive to Iran considering their revenue is down to only 40 billion. US support of the rebels weakens Iran, giving them less leverage to continue their nuclear program. The CIA thinks they are in a position to benefit from supporting the rebels also. It will give them a foothold in the country, and they will more than likely be training them not only to fight the Syrian government, but hezbollah and al qaeda after they defeat their current government. The US militrary also thinks they can benefit. It will make the US look good to our allies in the middle east that would be very pleased with the failure of Iran's support, and the fall of the Syrian government. Our intervention obviously will make the rebels happy, and that will give the military an opportunity to strip rebel allegiance to dangerous factions of extremists muslims that have been supporting their cause. In other words, the US leadership foolishly thinks the bloodshed in Syria is actually a good thing. It is not short sighted like our intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is equally as foolish. [/QUOTE]
