Beyond the Redline. many many Redlines..

Trump talking from the pulpit today.....According to Trump. Assad has crossed the line.

Are you fucking nuts? Assad must have 10,000 atrocities which he must be held responsible for.

You Donald Trump are just an ignorant hustler, ( Carnival Barker)..which even your own supporters are starting to understand!

The most powerful force on the ground fighting al Qaeda type forces in Syria is the Syrian army.

I hope "holding responsible" doesn't mean opening the gates for religious fanatics.

“Al Queda type forces”? There must be 3 or 4 other political/religious groups trying to gain strength in Syria.
Your simple explanation, merits a lot of suspicion about who you are.

Before ousting dictators needs to come a secular enlightenment and reformist movement. Which is hard because those things arise from stability. Which doesn't happen much in the middle east. Assad's government is evil but at least it's secular.

Chemical weapons becoming internationally normalized is BAD though. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!

My solution would be for Assad to have an "accident" and get replaced by a moderate who reforms Syria from within. CIA get on that pls.

Long ago, they probably fled the country or to areas held by the Syrian government.

I did not intend my statement to be a comprehensive answer to any particular problem.
