Honestly...

We used to joke about the water, now I’m wondering about the food, the juice, the toilet paper, their dry cleaners...

What’s so hard to figure on this one?

No threat whatsoever.

What happens if we topple Assad and al Qaeda takes over? Is anyone thinking about that at all.

We’ve spent the better part of a decade fighting al Qaeda, and now we’re going to start giving then nationhood?

Christians and those of other religions [Hindu, Buddists,ect] will be slaughtered.

Yes, but they don't care and this includes Congressional Republicans. They will only be just some of obama's "bumps in the road".

That, My FRieend, is what "immigration reform" is all about. The purpose of "immigration reform" is not to get Mexican laborers over here. It is to get muslims over here and that includes members of the muslim brotherhood and Al Quida.

If Assad’s regime is toppled that will mean the end of the Alawites. They will be killed along with Christians. There will be NOBODY left in Syria to oppose AQ and the radical Jihadists - nobody. There is no question of “what if AQ takes over.” Their takeover would be all but guaranteed so one has to ask what will Russia do to protect it’s own interest (their port)and allies? What will Israel do to protect their nation given that AQ will have their hands on lots of WMD? What will Turkey do to protect itself from AQ and WMD?

Obama is playing with fire and there won’t be any way to reset the board in Syria. The potential ramifications for the region go far beyond any sins of Assad.
