#1 Consider it a 'swap' not 'swamp' - these are what Syria got in exchange for all the terrorists they sent into Iraq to aid the destabilization.

#3 Now, if I was Assad, I would get his Parliment to consider a "comprehensive immigration bill" that would make them instant Syrians thereby building up further his base. He could also press them into his army and airforce creating a real monster in terms of numbers. He could then send them to Lebanon to augment the Hizzies. Then the Israelis would have to take them out. Problem solved.

#4 "Nobody used the word "crisis" when the first wave of Iraqis fled the war and settled here."

Of course not. The first wave was mostly affluent, educated, and only margainly pissed off. Oh yeah, those suitcases full of dough didn't hurt either. The next wave...well...not so much.

#6 You know, the Canadians said the same thing when all those Tories ran north at the end of our Revolution.

#8 The Syrians are disturbed by this, because most of the Iraqis are Sunnis, not Shiite, like the 10% Alawite that run the country.
