Beck: Government ?Dragging? Us Into a War We ?Will Not Survive? in the Middle East | TheBlaze.com

There's a video associated with this article, but I can't link to from here.

Glenn Beck asserted on his weekday television program Monday that “we are moving in the wrong direction [as] a country,” particularly with regard to the Middle East, and that that “we will all be destroyed because of it.”

Speaking about the U.S. government’s recent decision to arm the rebels in Syria, Beck said lawmakers in both parties are “dragging” us into yet another war.

“We are worn out and we do not [want to be] in anybody’s business,” Beck said, pointing out that polls indicate the American people overwhelmingly disagree with intervening in the Syrian conflict.

Beck then urged viewers to share one clip from the night’s show, which he said will put the matter in perspective.

It seemingly shows a Syrian rebel cutting out and eating the heart and liver of his “enemy.”

“This president and the Republicans…the progressives, trust this demented terrorist with weapons,” Beck said in shock. “Yet the same people want to take guns out of your hands, because they don’t trust you, but I digress…”

“This is such a warning sign that we are on the wrong side that even Vladimir Putin sounds sane compared to the progressive Republicans and progressive Democrats in Washington,” Beck said, noting that Putin recently told the U.K. Prime Minister that “one should hardly back those who kill their enemy and eat their organs.”

“We have to put down our partisan politics, Beck said. “We have got to stop intervening in the wars in the Middle East. This sounds awful but if they’re going to kill each other, let ‘em kill each other. We will not survive this. Please — stop the back and forth with the Republicans and Democrats. Our children and our country are at stake.”
 

president Obama was on the television at noon...talking to this point...it appears everyone but Obama wants to go to war here...

he is against it....not interested...complex issue...undecided as to his future actions.

so again the guy with the doby gillis hair doo is all about nothing.
 

We shouldn't even be providing arms to the rebels, composed of Al Queda, Radical Islamists, and certainly no friends of ours.

SC, you've seen history as much as I have. If we have any sort of presence there, it's only a very short stumble before we involve ourselves. Even without Beck's article, we should all disagree with what is happening. We cheered from the sidelines the events in Eqypt and Libya, and look what we got.

Arming our enemies at the very least.
 

The factions in the middle east have been warring and killing each other in the name of their gods since the crusades,( which still haven't ended!), and they will continue to fight long after we are gone. They don't want our friendship, and they hate our advice, they are only interested in what money and aid we can throw their way, once they receive the check, we are once again the bad guy. I'm not sure that we will ever learn this lesson.
 

And Now our so called President wants to sit down with the Al Qudea and propose peace talks. Where is this guy coming from Just like Nixon and and the Nam! What he's proposing he could have done it his first week in office But No! couple of thousand of our troops won't be missed?
Remember when George was in the other War and all those goofs said it was the wrong one. But at least we somewhat won that one. Now we are there and their saying this one is wrong to. Cut and run that;s all these guy's know and the he!! with our boy's.
How long before all those that helped us there will be gone? any bet's. Ask our buddy Crisp to define Narcissism.

But it is okay to give billions of dollars in advanced military hardware in form of fighters and tanks among other to the Muslim Brotherhood..... A sworn enemy of America....
 

It used to be that when you granted aid, "invested", in something or someone, you got a return for your money......quid-pro-quo........, now we dump billions of $ on countries who don't even like us, and to people who will eventually use it against us. This is like trying to buy friendship and respect from someone, who at the first chance will throw you under the bus.....:BangHead:
 

It's all about Oil. We need to protect our interests.

We've been throwing money and military aid around for hundreds of years. So stop acting like Obama invented it.

And Onfire, Obama is our President. Everyday!
 

"Beck then urged viewers to share one clip from the night’s show, which he said will put the matter in perspective. It seemingly shows a Syrian rebel cutting out and eating the heart and liver of his “enemy.'"

Am I the only concerned about this sentence? How does one "seemingly" show cutting out and eating the heart of an enemy? The liver I could see, that is in the abdominal cavity with easy access. However, the heart is encased in bone. When we dissected cadavers in gross anatomy lab we needed a specialized bone saw to cut through the thoracic cavity and get to the heart. One cannot simply carve out a heart with a bowie knife.

Anyway, I have problems trusting anything somebody who uses rehetoric like this. It is a blatant form of manipulation. Does anybody actually think the rebels and armies of Syria are running around eating each others' hearts and livers?

Something wrong with that dude....my two cents,

Crispin

NF, I dont get it either. We have been giving foreign aid for many years now. Not sure why it is suddenly a problem?

onfire: "so called president"? Last I checked the president IS the president. Care to elaborate on that or just gonna leave us hanging like usual?
 

In my experience, I have usually found; You can not bring others up to a better level, that are hell bent on hate and destruction.
They, on the other hand, will usually, bring others down to their level.

That Beck is another showboatsmen, whatever it takes for ratings. I'm actually surprised they didn't have a baby pig on a spit and say they are roasting human babies alive. (no, I didn't watch video, I'm desensitized enough, I hate seeing that kinda shot).

I truly believe our government needs to re-think, sticking their(our) noses into every other countries affairs. It is usually that other countries pick the phone up, call our capital, and yell "HELP, help us please". Everyone knows, we got the best military in the world. That's why we are always the ones get called for the nasty jobs. Sometimes, without really being sure of WHO we are fighting, or exactly what about.
I feel really sorry for good ppl of the world, who have to live in oppression, hate, and killing.

eta; that's not to say I am not grateful for our veterans, I love our vets. I'm just sick and tired of our government lining up good men and women, like cattle going around the bend, to the slaughter!

J.B. as you I have my own opinion of what a president should be. My concern is this one fits the bill off a Aluminum siding salesman who could sell it to a person with a brick house.
Now I'm sure your answer will be what he should be but as all your posts they all lead up to a Question.
But let's look at his problem with negotiating with the radicals this dude can't even negotiate with the other 2 sides of his Government
This is all sham to boost his ego. And a slap in the face to every service man or woman who served there.

NF your a little confused here OIL, are we in trouble with Canada ? Montana? Kentucky? or anywhere else we have our own oil.

Finally someone I agree with. Let them kill each other.
When it's all over go back & pump the Spoils out the ground

Obama giving aid to Muslim Brotherhood isn't doing squat to protect anything, in fact it is doing the opposite, it is giving military hardware to be used against America to kill Americans...

It would be like if FDR sent military aid to Germany and Japan in 1940-1941.......

It is about oil and only oil. Those who don't understand that are the ones who are confused.

You guys have never heard of Paul Wolfowitz huh?

By a show of hands - anyone here believe that The Gulf War was fought because Iraq invaded a sovereign nation?




Onfire, you made it perfectly clear in another thread what your opinion is of what a President should be.

First off if you have 2 Kids who continuously fight over their toys, what do you do ?
You take both their toys away. You don't give one more ?

I still think it's simple, take all their toys away.
All their weapons, & all their oil.

and share it with the other countries Like Russia, etc, that have restraint.
so no one country can cry favoritism

Problem solved imo

What part of giving military aid in the form of state of the art fighters and tanks in the billions of dollars to sworn enemies of America do you guys not understand. :banghead:

Aid to the Muslim brotherhood is treason, they are a sworn enemy of america.

You guys would defend anyone who says they are a dem no matter what they did...

If it was Bush giving the same aid I would be saying the same thing, it is treason, your giving aid to our enemies......:banghead:

Muslim Brotherhood is our ENEMY! We are at war with radical Muslims which they are.

When it was Bush i was saying the same thing. because it is what it is! it is about Oil. Does anyone believe Russia gives a rats ass about Syria? Why are they there? It is because they are there that we are there and that's spelled O-I-L !

TH you need to get past the Muslim brotherhood thing. Unfortunately, the world is not a place of absolutes. A place of black and white. There is much gray. To survive on this planet we need to do business with whoever owns the real estate in which we have a vested interest. Many times that means aligning with people we don't like. Sometimes bad people. Like Saddam, who we supported for years. It's called reality. It doesn't mean letting our guard down. It's operating in the gray area. And if you want to put in a way that you can live with, Keep your friends close and you enemies closer.

Our vested interest in Syria is in protecting our access to strategic oil supplies in the region. We do that in two ways. Helping our greatest ally in the region, Israel, and by making a political bet on what side to back when one of the countries in the area destabilizes as Syria has done. Note that Russia, our greatest competitor for oil in this region, has also placed a bet and is backing a side.

I did not say anything like that...what I said is that dobie gillis hair dooo guy is talking garbage again.

and no it is not honorable or intelligent to do what you describe above...but I did not suggest it was.

Take all their weapons away? Take all their oil away?
You advocate war? Because war is the only way that happens.

Of course if we do that we have to deal with Russia. In a not so pleasant way. They too want to protect their strategic interests.

Not so simple
