Syria says cannot stop militants entering Iraq - "If America cannot stop Mexicans..."

I know it is a lie.

You think you know. There is a difference.

They say they can't stop the terrorists because America has relatively open borders.

Well, it makes a pretty good case for how difficult it is to control a long, desert border. If Syria could do what we cannot do, that would be embarassing.

They don't want to stop the terrorists.

Do we? How does leaving the borders relatively open stop them? Is it your official position that each and every one of them is a "migrant worker"?

We are their enemy. they are our enemy. It is that simple and your praise of Syrian propaganda disgusts me when I remember Beirut.

LOL. If the absilute truth they pointed out about our border policy is Syrian "propaganda" then we are all in trouble, because what they are saying is true. No doubt most of the other stuff they are saying is complete bunk, but my opinion is simply ... they got us on this one. It happens. Ever now and then your opponent will land a luckly blow. Denying that the blow was landed makes you look uncredible. Concede the point, vow to do better, and move on with the battle. That's what I believe our position on the matter should be.

I really don't that the Syrians are "aided and comforted" by the fact that they uttered one truth.

The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days.

Your wish is granted. You get to keep shilling for Assad. Enjoy.

ROFLMAO! Okay, will do. Thanks for your well-wishes. Your wish is granted. You get to keep shilling for Assad. Enjoy

''If America, a rich superpower cannot stop Mexicans crossing into the United States, then how can we, a poor country, be expected to stop Palestinians getting into Iraq.''

This is not a fair argument, but rather a childish response. There is no correlation between the two circumstances. In Syria their people are crossing borders to KILL people. In the Mexico their people are crossing borders to work for money to feed their families. If Mass amounts of the Mexicans coming over the border were launching attacks on the US I bet we would close down those borders a lot tighter than they are now.
