Oh, and I know some of you think a no-fly zone will do the trick, but we both know you can’t stomach the estimated $1 billion a month that would cost, so wave bye-bye to that one, too.

If Saudi and the Gulf states want you out, why don't they just write the check the way they did with the Gulf War? ::shrugs:: If they don't want to pay for it, though, I think you're in good shape.

I am insane.

No. No, you're not. You are just another gangster sociopath with his own country.

You want to be the ones sorting through that mess when you’re trying to build a new government? I didn’t think so.Not really. But that shouldn't be the goal, if we're smart. You aren't that important, Bashar. You aren't the issue. Neither is Syria. (Sorry, Syrians.) The focus here should be on hurting Iran/Hezbollah/Hamas and by proxy, Russia. You lose, they lose, we win. Syria might dissolve into chaos and medievalism and that would be too bad. But if the mullahs and Vlad have to recalculate what we would be prepared to do if Iran actually went for ( ... )
