My Take on Syria
Obama is providing al Qaeda an air force. And the "anti-war" left is silent as the grave.

My take on the looming war with Syria?
1. Idiotic. We're acting as al Qaeda's air force. We're ignoring evidence that both sides have used chemical weapons. We're alienating countries (specifically Saudi Arabia, Israel and Russia) who can and will make us pay for this. And supporting the other side wouldn't be any better: this is one of those deals (like the Iran-Iraq War, or the war between Hitler and Stalin) where you kind of hope both sides kill each other.
2. Hypocritical. Listening to John Kerry and Barack Obama and countless media puppets make the same arguments for this war they made against the war in Iraq would be bad enough. Listening to them make those arguments while fully intending to stir up the hornet's nest without finishing the job is just gross. Saddam is gone. The Iraqi chapter of the Ba'ath Party (NB: Syria is ruled by that very same Ba'ath Party) is defunct and destroyed. Iraq is a threat to absolutely no one, especially its own people…
