At least some of the roughly 480 high-performance SA-24 “Grinch” shoulder-launched missiles that disappeared during the Libyan uprising have reappeared in the hands of insurgents on the borders of Israel, say senior Israeli officials.

There are no “good guys” over there, just “bad guys” and “even worse guys.”

A crippled Assad is less dangerous than a Muslim Brotherhood controling most of North Africa and the levant. Iran’s nuclear program matters. Ba’athists and Shia Islamists vs the Muslim Brotherhood playing by Hama rules is a good thing. The more they kill each other, the less they work together.
