The largest foreign supplier of oil to America is Canada:

I agree! Russia and China are getting a strong foothold In The region. Something is up with Russia. They're doing flybys of our war ships and have nuclear tipped missiles on their jets while swiping Guam!! Hello, it's about Russia. The problem is the powers that be want to mislead the American public that Russia is no longer a threat. The helicopters, RPGs etc are all Russian made. Think about the balance of power if Russia is able to bolster Iran, Syria, Iraq, potentially Egypt etc.

Whatever the reason, the result is we are made weak willed by this administration's willingness to tap dance until they get the politically correct, and legally correct words out properly.

End of the story.

For all "Nay sayers", how do you deal with Iran when Iran wants to go nuclear? If the threat of force is no more, than KSA and Turkey and maybe Egypt would go nuclear in 6 months after notifying and withdrawing from NPT.

With Russia and China involved I don't see how anyone can reasonably see them not becoming nuclear armed. It's only a matter of time before everyone is armed. We should stay out of it.

After careful consideration, I am against any action in Syria. My president has not made his case and drew a red line and now he's not accepting responsibility for it. I truly felt embarrassed watching him back-peddle his way out of it. I do not feel comfortable with a commander in chief giving orders to our troops when he can't stand by his word. I worry for our troops! They might get left behind. If he could do it to his own ambassador, he wouldn't bat an eye for an airman who might get shot down. Expendable, is a word that comes to mind. Besides, sequestration part 2 is about to hit the military even harder, so we obviously can't afford to drop bombs or lob missiles, they cost money! And they're considering cutting combat pay, so NO, another reason we can't afford to send troops...

No, let them sort their own troubles out. They like living in the dark ages, so be it.
