I'd say Assad is between a rock and hard place. And .. how great would it be if we could use that money for Iraq's reconstruction.

" "The U.S. has Syria firmly in its sights," said one analyst,"....

My vote, is we pull the trigger if the bastards even blink, or lie or withhold information, or shield any terrorists...

In other words, there is NO WAY we can avoid busting the current Syrian regime's ass.

Semper Fi

It's worth noting that this is the same journalist, and likely the same source, that reported Iraq's WMD were hidden in Syria. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;s=iraq%20wmd%20syria

Is there anyway we can go into Syria and look for WMD without mounting a full scale attack?
