    Where is China during this Syrian gasing?

    Ignoring it all, including the Iranian oil boycott, stocking up on Iranian Oil, and laughing all the way to the Bank. Time to start looking for some China stock again.

      Well, someone did name it the South China Sea. Probably the Brits.

        Including the bits which the Government of Japan bought, to bolster their own claims to sovereignty?

        That is a scary situation.

          Sorry, looked it up, the Portuguese named it long before there was a USA, or Australia. Tom, maybe there is some pre and after WWII bitterness over those Islands. Has China ever been paid for the Japan 'experiments'?

            I doubt if anything will ever put "paid" beside China's WWII experience.

            I suspect, though, that this isn't that. I suspect that it's merely China stretching its muscles and cracking its knuckles as it prepares to once again take centre-stage in global affairs.

                Hmmm.... maybe they could take care of this Syrian problem, and we bring the troops home, and tend to business?

                  Take care of it by doing what? And why would they do that?

                  How many troops would we bring home from Syria?

                      Take over as world policeman.
                      Why would they?
                      They will not of course, you ask me what I want them to do.
                      You forget already? Refer back to your question, Carnac.
                      How many ? All.

                          I believe most of you are War Hawks. Yeah, you fake it once in a while, but the truth always comes out. None of you can even fathom, can even imagine a world where the US is not the policechief. Can you? admit it. Can you imagine a world with Japan as the policeman, the next year Russia takes over, the next year Canada serves a turn, etc. No you can't , cause you, nor Obama Co could even understand that a Security Council negative vote means NO. Obama didn't even ask for the vote, just immediately started planning his own drive by shooting. He didn't even know who or what he was shooting. Then Hillary comes out with her approval. Yes, she says, they need bombing, never even thinking about who "they" are. The answer to all problems domestic or international is shoot, ask questions later, a la the Pelosi Doctrine.

                            You are a very delusional person if you honestly think the US is the world's police force in anyone's mind but your own. Things will get better when the US realizes it takes compromise and communication to make things work.
                            Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs. Possibly precariously prevaricating.

                              Of course they won't. So what's the point of your question? Where is China during this Syrian gasing?

                              Have you figured out how many troops are in Syria yet?
