#2 Can Syria defend itself? Still amused with vision of Turks and Israelis sitting discreetly in the corner to figure how to divide Syria for mutual benefit. They might even let King Abdullah have a piece. You can make everyone's slice bigger when you cut the pie n-1 ways.

#3 " March to the Sea "

Kind of like the Civil War, when Sherman conducted his famous "March to the Sea". It destroyed the infrastructure that was helping the Southern armies survive. A Syrian march would most likely have a similar effect on the Terrorist infrastructure, though not bring it down.

#4 Can Syria defend itself?

Based on the account of the Thunder Run in Baghdad, I suspect a large portion of Syria's "armed forces" got chewed up in Iraq earlier this year.

#5 Now it's official.
Isn't the first step to recovery admitting you have a problem?
Now, let's hope that the next step will be Operation Damascus Freedom, to be quickly followed by its younger, quicker and even easier brother Operation Liberate Lebanon.
