Hi JEB; Re: "Ouch, it seems Jordan will be interested in taking on Syria as well ..."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
How long do you think you'd survive in a firefight with wishful thinking like this?
Are you serious??? Do you want me to remind you of this statement, say, at the end of the year when it becomes clear that Jordan has taken no military actions (i.e. "taking on") Syria???
Re: "Syria is either a separate and sovereign country or an Al Qaeda base, its time they made up their mind which they are, I'm sure Jordan will want to know that answer. "
Years from now the idiots of the mid 21st century will be blaming the loss of the war in Iraq on the failure of the Bush / Kerry administrations to take the war into Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Hey, go put on your chess player's hat and utilize the simple human skill of "counting". The hell you think we're going to get enough troops to occupy Syria when we don't have nearly enough to occupy Iraq???
Believe it or not, the Syrians play chess too, and they can count, and they know that they are quite immune to any serious invasion by the United States. The best we could do would be the same as we did in Iraq, which is to eliminate the Syrian government and turn the country into a disneyland for terrorists.
The thought that Jordan would take them on is a joke.
For that matter, all the neocons could talk about last summer was how our actions in Iraq were making the Syrians, Iranians, Saudis and Libyians behave.
