The exact same approach has been employed in Somalia by the African Union, and while it has been effective, the pace of their strategy has been extremely slow.

Can't really disagree, but it is both difficult and lengthy to judge America's foreign policy at the moment.
However, i would definitely argue that Obama is far more concerned for the well-being of the Syrian people than Chairman Putin

The Syrian rebels aren't wholly composed of Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups.
The Syrian opposition are currently in an uneasy alliance with each other, with the FSA and Al-Qaeda-affiliated Mujaheddin distinctly seperate, and their primary goal is to overthrow the Assad regime. You'd be pleased to know that your government is funding the alliance, with some of these funds passing onto the Mujaheddin.
Groups that support an intervention in Syria do so either on the basis that it would be best for both Syria and the world that the Assad regime is overthrown swiftly, or on the basis of Assad's alleged employment of chemical weapons.

So yeah, I would just let Syria destroy its fucking ass off with no external intervention and let the rest of the world live in peace.
Seriously, Middle East has always been called the terrorist, but fuck that, US sucks even more. If ME wouldn't exist at all and US presidents were not so faggot, imagine what a peaceful world.
like i've said in the past, you are so fucking stupid. Jg99 warranted a more thought provoking response than you'll ever warrant. i've been addressing some common misconceptions about the current crisis in Syria, but holy shit, you take the cake. i'm not even going to bother dissecting that, and i don't give two shits if you decide to "punish" me for experiencing outrage at your stupidity.

This also concerns me extremely. I don't take a hobby-like interest in the Syrian conflict, i simply pay attention to the news and retrieve my news from reliable sources. Half the comments on this thread seem like they've been reading retarded /r/worldnews comments and basing one-dimensional opinions off them.
