Do you love the testicles part or the grinder part?

Both, in the same place. vbg.

By allowing former Iraqi Baathists to remain in Syria and cause havoc in Iraq, Assad is in my estimation probably responsible for a lot of the deaths caused by the insurgency. This is not a game that he can safely play with us. He needs to be reminded that he is a tin-horn dictator in a third rate country.

You'll note that I think we'll see only a symbolic, focused strike. I very much doubt that there will be any full-scale attack. We cannot mount one, politically or militarily.

Assad is one of the keys to having a relatively safe election. If he wants to, he should be able to control the former Iraqi Baathists who are responsible for a lot of the killing. He is, after all, giving them sanctuary.
