Unfortunately, if Obama is still in charge, its we who may get d#icked. I would fully expect him to pour billions of $$ down the Middle East rat hole in the hope. Of course, we will get nothing in return, except more extremism.

I also wouldn’t put it past him to let hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees emigrate to America. To reside in swing states, of course.

Another want-a-be dictator wants his “fair share” of our wealth.

Marshall Plans don’t seem to work out all that well in Muslim countries.

“Syria used to produce about 380,000 barrels of oil a day, of which 250,000 were for local consumption and 130,000 for exports. By comparison, oil giant Saudi Arabia produces about 10 million barrels a day.”

Talk to the Saudis thten.

Personally I’d like to see a Richard I plan in the Middle East.

They can all drop dead, as far as I’m concerned.
Maybe the PRC would like to shell out some money?

“....open the door to extremism....”

O Boy!! extremism is exactly what the Syrian opposition espouses. The Syrian civil war sides are a classic example of the pot call the stove black.

Ask Putin and the Chinese. In the end they will own your country but for the immediate future they may pour money into the plan. Later you can move to France and live off your Swiss bank accounts.
