Fine by me...
If Assad wins, the Saudis won’t get their oil pipeline to Europe. Their toady Obama will be spanked by his benefactors, and he will blame someone. Or draw another red line or something. Asshole.
Assad staying in power increases Iran’s hand. And it means less safety for Israel, of course.
Quite the dilemma to have no third option for Syria besides Assad or “al Qa’eda”, though. Thanks to the “dove-ification” of US foreign policy, the only possible third option has dissipated.
If Assad wins, that also means that Syria will have effectively become an Iranian proxy in the region. Still better than al-Qaeda in charge of Syria, I guess.
This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.
So much for the Obama reset of foreign relations, the ‘Arab Spring’, the NASA-Muslim initiative, the ‘bowing’ tour and ever so many other policy disasters. Never thought I’d be missing Abu Ghraib!
After successfully pimp slapping Obama and Kerry into
next year, why would they want to get rid of Assad?
He has proven to be a stronger leader than what the US
currently has.
Non-lethal aid my azz.
