Is Obama heading toward airstrikes in Syria?

After three years of avoiding it, President Barack Obama finds himself being pushed toward military action in Syria. He stated if he was going to defeat ISIS, he would have to bomb there closes ally and there border, Syria. In The New York Times, it says that Syria is held responsible for the rise of ISIS. The Obama administrations said the sent U.S. forces into Syria to attempt to free Foley, but failed. So it is clear, Syria is working with them.

Why do you think Syria would help out bad people like ISIS?

  • To them we are the bad guys and ISIS are their freedom fighters but we don't see it that way. Also ISIS might have given Syria a deal that if you give us money, men, and training we will protect your borders.

  • So they wouldn't get attacked if ISIS ever took over.

  • I don't think that you can make such a bold statement such as Syria working with a terrorist organization, but I do feel that Syria will do anything to keep the U.S. out of their country. they've hated us for years, so they may have "hired" ISIS to protect its borders. Also, I would like to read the site for more information, so if you could just site your source, that'd be greeeeaat.

  • I would think that Syria would be helping out bad people like ISIS to gain more power, or out of fear. They may think that we want to take over their country, and decided to go with lSIS. 

  • They probably wanted to make themselves look threatening in some way. Hoping that we wouldn't act in on it and they would be able to do what they want.

  • Because they have a ton of people that believe in that type of stuff in that area of the world. I mean some people question why we are Christians because to them our religion makes no sense to them, and to them it is totally normal for them to do those kinds of things. 

  • Because they would want to help get us out of their country because they think we are invading and trying to take them over. Not very many people like us over there.

  • In my mind, I think Syria is trying to become allys with us so they can get close with the U.S. so they can get info about the U.S. so they can attack us with ISIS.

  • I think its more of not wanting to help us. and Bashir Allahasad is just that way with people he hates. he is selfish and overall a bad leader for the country of syria and i think that his hatred for the U.S. clouds his judgement on ISIS.
