I say we give Assad whatever chemical weapons we still have with the requirement that he use them on every square inch of his country. If he fails to do that we nuke him.

I’d object to the US intervening militarily even then. This is our neighborhood. If we can’t win our own fights, we can’t live here.

I wonder how far up the target list the Al Jamlah facility just moved.

It would be a good surprise if, at some future date, we secretly replaced the Filipinos with some Gurkhas.
