Though US officials say there are no specific plans to invade Syria right now, the estimates coming out of US sources say that such a war could be an enormous undertaking, with tens of thousands of ground troops being deployed just to try to seize Syria’s chemical weapons.
Some of the sources cited by Reuters say that the chemical weapons invasion force itself could be as large as 50,000 to 60,000, with even more required for the occupation to try to carry out the “peacekeeping” that such an invasion would inevitably involve.
The White House declined to comment directly on the prospect of the invasion, but those familiar with the ongoing discussion say that the US would likely carry the brunt of the burden themselves, as a number of European nations have told them they have no interest in joining such a war.
Such a war would be open-ended, as there isn’t any specific public accounting of what weapons Syria does or doesn’t have, and as with Iraq’s fictional arsenal the occupation force would likely continue to randomly search for things they might conceivably find.
All that talk is about invading Syria, all that talk and concern should have been presented to the world before Hillary Clinton and Saudi Arabia, and the UAE barbarians wanting to overthrow the Syrian government, all that talks should been addressed before eliminating and not wanting to listen to Syrian government and Syrian people, all that concern should have been the priority of the US and EU before even thinking to start this atrocity toward a sovereign nation. Look: Syria is a progressive nation with a government working for its people, US and EU knows that very well, but they are not interested in having any progress government that have or can achieve something where they int time become independent, thats where US and EU have lost their market. US and EU present governments operating as Mafia, you are going to do what we tell you or we brake you one way or the other, and their last resort is these barbarians and savages supported by US and EU among others.
This will never happen because the U.S. doesn't have 50 or 60,000 troops available, any more than they would need that many for a ground invasion of Iran. Most of them are in Afghanistan and scattered on hundreds of bases across the globe. I say let the Israelis give it a try–they're big badasses, right?
You have new Gather Quest!
Do you accept mission [Y/N]?
I wonder how long now before we start hearing the warnings that "we MUST go there and secure the munitions or they might be used on innocent people here in the Homeland." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Besides, it's our duty to protect our ally ( the rogue state of Israel) with our blood and treasure because, well, they're special…and Armageddon can't come if there is no Israel. Justifiable war in the name of religion…again.
