#1 They need to crush the Baathist remnants in Syria. What deal do they give Assad to make it happen?

Can you imagine if we had anti-US bombers active in Mexico? We'd invade. Iraq has that right as well.

However, I would think giving Assad 10 Billion dollars in oil would probably work.

#2 Not the way the Arabs deal. You give them $, they ask for more. Sign o weakness in their eyes.

I prefer the ObL formula: "When the people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they will back the strong horse."

Wetwork is called for here.

#3 These fascists must be exterminated to a man. Many of them were prime Saddam henchmen and therefore are men without countries.

You would think the administration would be all over this problem, but there must be an issue with how the Iraqis intend to prosecute these murderous thugs.

#4 Wetwork is called for here.

"Wetworks" my left hind toenail. A dozen B-52s over Damascus, each dropping 50-60 500-lb iron bombs, and you MIGHT get Ass-ad's attention. That's if you happen to catch him on a day when he's sober. Keeping such bombings up for six or seven weeks would do wonders for the prestige of the US in the Muddled East. The term "play nice or be dead, your choice" only works when you're willing to be really, REALLY nasty. Until the US shows that kind of capability, the Muddled East will remain a catastrophe one day short of completion.

not this admin... it would probably be the 'crisis' that pushes through amnesty and the repeal of the 2nd amendment.
