They say that foreign fighters continue to slip into the country from Syria, but Damascus rejects the accusations.

Let em reject all they want - I hope the president will allow our guys to take the war to syrian territory.

If we've learned anything from 58k deaths in SRE Asia, its to deny the enemy sanctuary.

They have my blessing to treat the insurgents in any way that proves fruitful in saving the lives of innocents.

When I remember the beheading of Nick Berg and the desperate jumps from the World Trade Center...I don't care HOW they are treated...defecate on those animal's faces for all I care.
