“Always with Israel as the wild card, to carry out unilateral action if it feels threatened.”... If Israel feels threatened?

Very intriguing (and frightening) surmise.

Lots of convicts come out of the joint wearing belly bags as a result of their special sex life.

Whoops!

Sorry a cut and paste from another thread....

Was trying to reply to the following post of yours:

We did increase our military presence in Jordan.

Oh, yeah, that's gonna solve things in Syria! But, there is a silver lining of sorts. The more the Muslims kill each other, the less time the spend trying to kill Infidels. This is a win-win situation. Die another day, Mohamed.

There are other factors in the complex equation besides weapons.

It is erroneously assumed that the Assad military is uniformly loyal. That is not necessarily true.

With the real possibility of losing, elements of the Assad military will abandon the lost cause. Life must go on. Life with Assad will be less and less viable.

Good for Russia!

They’re supporting the Alawites (secular Shiite Muslims), and their Druze and Christian allies, while the USA is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and the Saudi Wahabbis.

A more disgusting betrayal of those who died on 9/11 is hard to imagine.
