Wow, that's pretty nutty. Did they expect the Americans would just sit there and do nothing while they installed another Baathist regime?
Probably expected us to be distracted with a Syria/Iranian sponsored terror event somewhere else.
So, what happened a month ago...???
"Wow, that's pretty nutty. Did they expect the Americans would just sit there and do nothing while they installed another Baathist regime?"
Baathists hate Iranians and they despise Shiites. The Iranian/Syrian connection is a farce. Syria has basically given up their country to Iran in exchange for Iran not destroying them with radical shiite extremists.
Basically, the Syrians are wussies. They are the key to peace in the middle east because they are the road that Iran takes to get to Israel. Block the road and the Iranians have no where to go.
That is the isolation that needs to take place.
