My original comment was to make a flip remark about Putin having a nice place in Siberia for Mr. Assad, but dammmmmm.Mr. Ima forgets there are people who don’t understand sarcasm and irony and might feel there are actually people in the US who would approve of Assad using sarin gas on his own people. I hope you’re just being sarcastic and ironic, Ima.Scott, your demoncrat insult is kinda cute in the right context, but your comment as a whole is just plain incorrect and mean. What military units FOUGHT in Libya? And how is it NOT in the US interest for Syria to have a stable government that can keep chemical weapons from being stolen or military attacks made over the border into Israel, Jordan, Turkey, & Lebanon?Thegreatack, War can be quite addictive and few addicts care about profit, they just try to charge more for what they distribute. However, Eisenhower did warn us of the Military/Industrial complex. His original speech is said to have said Congressional/military/industrial complex. Politicians and Generals too frequently find homes in corporations that profited from the help given them by Pols and Generals. There have been attempts to place time limits between one resigning from their job and taking a position with a corporation with whom they had dealings, but they always fail.I hope they try again.Respectfully,& Happy HolidayzeC

Don’t hold your breath awaiting a reply…
Or perhaps Howie will step up—-he is known to leave “Mr.” Ima alone in the sandbox on occasion!
