Even the mere suggestion that Obama and team are considering intervention in Syria alarms me greatly.

There are significant geopolitical implications on top of the fact the USA has NO DOG IN THIS HUNT.

Just like we have no interest in Afghanistan.

Except this time some powerful countries do have a stake in Syria...it's a cog in the Russian/Turk/Israeli/Greek/Cyprus conundrum.

We can only find bad things there.

There no oil. It doesn't sit at the nexus of any geopolitical interest of the USA.

None.

We have gone over a cliff and Obama is laughing as he floors it.

I don’t think we should get involved militarily, but I do think we have a dog in this fight.

If Iran loses its hold over Syria, that’s a very good thing for the region. It could be the only ‘not really bad’ thing in the ME during Obama.
