Does the U.S really have the capability to knock out Syria?

Lol, if the FSA is capable of taking on the Syrian military, you think the United States doesn't?

The U.S is quite capable of such, though its not like you have to knock them out just take out their important equipment so the factions on the ground opposing the Government can have victory.

huh what does this article have to do with US's ability to handle Syrians. It's about what would happen if Syria used chemical weapons on protestors. Assad has made it clear he will use it on external invaders. That's a message to USA, Turkey, and Israel. So if Assad does not use them there will be no invasion if there is no invasion than Assad will not use them. Assad can be believed in this case because he has everything to loose if he does and really nothing to gain.

It's a pity they don't have Call of Duty in Syria, someone could tell him that COD 4 already did this sort of thing.

Some good things to do when you start a new thread in the Discussion and Debate forums: (1) Explain the background story, as neutrally as possible, and provide credible sources for any factual elements; (2) Identify the issues that you think are worth discussing, again as neutrally as possible; (3) Give your own opinion about those issues.

PM me if you want to improve the OP. Closed in the meantime.
