McDonough "questioned how much it was in America's interest to tamp down the violence in Syria." - The New York Times
When you see that dead toddler, remember: Obama's Chief of Staff told people a Syrian civil war was in our interest.pic.twitter.com/Kql03Bos2m

@UrbanAchievr oh please ! Like the invasion of Iraq.produced no dead people. -
@DocAliya difference here is that a civil war appears to have been the *objective* of policy, not the unintended outcome of failed policy -
@UrbanAchievr Syrian tamp down= Americans dead in another place w/o benefit . Iraq got isis, afghan1 got Taliban, afghan2 got kleptozais. -
@DocAliya how many American lives would it have cost to impose a no-fly zone to stop Assad's barrel bombing helicopters? -
@UrbanAchievr to be clear agree with no fly but stopping planes was not going to prevent the civil war just given better odds to rebels.

@UrbanAchievr sad and tragic. Playing w ppl lives for geopolitics. Down w the Empire mentality. -
@JuanRRodriguez7 irony is that this was a rationale for non-intervention

@UrbanAchievr@redsteeze Also note that they are fleeing Libya, which we decided to decapitate with no succession plan. -
@philhartmark@UrbanAchievr@redsteeze not Americans, the warmongers behind the scenes for whose interest the wars are in.

@UrbanAchievr Is that surprising? US foreign policy was never really guided by regard for human rights -
@UrbanAchievr@michaeldweiss - might also help remember entire region destabilized and out of options thanks to prior White House occupants. -
@UrbanAchievr The dead toddler is to laid at the feet of ISIS and Assad. And Turkey not taking him in. Don't beat up the West on the matter. -
@UrbanAchievr@empireburlesque Between perpetual wars and global capitalism (see TTIP/TPP) refugees assured. An intended outcome of Pax Am. -
@UrbanAchievr@ZaidJilani -- And Hillary wanted to be more aggressive in Syria. Which is being used against her by Bernie bots. -
@UrbanAchievr @sonofspeke no relation -
@UrbanAchievr@J_Bloodworth As ever, practitioners of realpolitik need to understand their schemes will usually go awry.
