There would be a lot more the 10% of any Syrian advance destroyed.

This whole "uprising" is an arranged invitation for the US to give the boot to the Syrians.

If we neutralized the armor and air power the Lebanese can do the rest. Yet I know the inevitable massacre will take place in a Palestinian refugee camp.
Assad is smarter than Saddam and it is doubtful he would risk a confrontation with the USA. The whole country is ruled by an Alawite clique. There is a great potential of a national uprising if the army were defeated. There are grumblings in the Kurdish areas. Our bigest enemy would be the potential media images. How will the world react to a second highway of death ? If our allies storm the Palestinian refugee camps will the world create a new bogus blood libel against America.
