Too little backbone? The guy's been fighting for social equality his entire life.
Maybe he's not as psychotic as the other candidates but that doesn't mean he has no spine.

Then look at his record of success doing that, by your own admission, social equality is worse now than it's ever been, we need a winner, not just a "fighter"

He backed down to BLM protesters. Spineless old guy is spineless old guy.

That doesn't sound like me. Even when I'm really high. Which I have been all day. Can you provide a source for me saying this? A thread link would be nice.

I don't see where the argument between Bernie and BLM was or how he 'backed down'. Was this one of those back alley macho chest puffing things I hear about? I'm not much into the bar scene.

No. Bombing other opposition, like the Kurds, is. And they are doing it to prop up their puppet. Why do you suck Russian and Assad cock?

They are going after ISIS. That's a good thing. We're always on the wrong side, like when Reagan supported the Taliban in Afghanistan.

From what I understand, Russia has interests in Syria, and so do we. Russia doesn't want ISIS fucking shit up in Syria. The US government likes perpetual war for all sorts of reasons. It allows them to give money to their friends without being held accountable. Shit, a billion dollars can go missing, and it barely makes the news.
So, I don't think our military is necessarily trying to stamp ISIS out. Not entirely, anyway. ISIS is a great justification for doing whatever the fuck they want.

I don't know what the fuck Obama's agenda really is. He is a really likeable guy, but he has done a lot of things I disagree with. I don't think he's a bad guy, but I certainly don't share a lot of his values.

We do not have any interests there to speak of. Russia wants to keep its puppet Assad in power.

another nice sidestep, but just because Fal mixed up taliban with mujahideen doesn't change change the point.
Osama and his mujahideen buddies were getting support from the U.S. during "charlie wilson's war". That came back to bite us in the ass. agree or disagree?

Its over a pipeline. Saudia arabia wants one there and so does russia. They arnt keen on sharing. More then that the US has a vested interest in reshaping the political landscape of the Arab nations so they can keep them subservient and powerless. To say they have no interests in the area shows a vapid lack of understanding about what's going on there.

Disagree, it's not like they used our weapons against us on 911 or in any other attack. Back in the 80's, we used them to further our interests, they used us to further theirs. The fact Obama turned on us after we helped him defeat the Russians, says a lot more about him than us

War is big business and a lot of people in this country want to perpetuate it for this very reason. The military industrial complex has out government by the short and curlies. We will never not be at war, and ISIS is a good enough guise to do so. I don't think our government intends to actually whipe them out.
You should read 'War is a Racket' by Smedley Butler, the most decorated marine in US history. It's a short book (90-some pages), but a good one.
We don't really need any more reason to be there, but I think there are other reasons.
