Noticed this on the news and I was just wondering what you portugalnuggets fellas think what should/ what shall be done in Syria?

[comrade_general]

I thought they had already found a bunch of bodies awhile ago... maybe that was somewhere else...

But what can be done about it?

[Jubal]

I think trying to unite the Syrian opposition is really the most important thing. Assad is unlikely to survive either way, but the key thing is making sure that there is a single, accountable opposition. That way other countries (hello Qatar?) can help the opposition out without worrying about fuelling mass sectarian violence.

How would one unite the Syrian opposition?

[Gen_Glory]

well unless large reserves of oil are discovered NATO is going to do diddly armadillo about it

[comrade_general]

We could do something about it. Come on E-Team let's go!

This has to be one of the funniest things I've ever read, not just for the idiocy of the congressman, but also Bill Nye's sterling reaction.

So I guess he's not dead then.

I feel sorry for all the people who would have feasted on all that delicious bird meat.

Seems like a pretty crappy way of keeping chickens, frankly. Open air, free range living, etc, for poultry may seem like luxuries or silly but they do really make a difference in some situations.
