Ill be the first to say

Slimreaper all you are is a contrarian that goes against what everyone else is saying nd you dont even know why. Like your comments with SAGE that are just you negating everything hes saying. You dont deserve an appropriate answer. However let me school you son. The constitution of the United States allows the president to start a war and it doesnt say that he needs to ask congress. Its obvious with the Afganistan and Iraq war. . . and the gulf war and the vietnam war. Got it.

You're talking to someone who got D's all through his highschool years, and works at a gas station.

I'm 99% sure that his views on politics would be 100% of what his redneck employee's talk to him about at his job.

OP: Good news indeed.

Got straight A's in history though

I make bearings in a fortune 500 company at 19, what do you do?

No I'm saying a Tomahawk missile to build and fire costs $1 million. And since many people complain that America cannot afford intervention, I was pointing out the taxpayer burden per missile is $1 mil / 300 mil people = .003 cents, if in fact the American public were shouldering the whole burden for missile production (which they wouldn't). That's all.

The problem is your only thinking about the initial cost of missile strikes, which is likely not enough to eliminate Syrian government, especially if Russia and Iran are supporting that country.
eventually it will develop into a full scale war since other countries might see US involvement as mere act of hostility and putting our nose where it doesn't belong.
the resulting cost will accumulate into a large sum of money and human resource.

Syria agreed because we threatened them with missiles and the last thing they'd want is an all out war with the U.S.

Why didn't he offer the treaty in the first place? Why did the same people that Americans call the "War-loving, freedom-hating, Communists" three decades ago have to do it? Still, America/Russia/China etc. are still arming the Rebels/Gov.t so the war shall remain as violent as it is.. However, I'm glad the US isn't going into the country.. Might become a suicide mission if went through with.
