No Decent Options

US sending troops to Jordan as Assad issues warning - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


While it seems that it is impossible for the United States to sit on the sideline in civil wars such as this it should be noted that as despicable and brutal a dictator as Assad is he is correct about Al Qaeda being part of the rebels fighting against him.  It is difficult to see how the US can come out of this with anything approaching a decent outcome. The President has tried to tread a middle path but our own legislators are shouting for him to be more belligerent as if that had worked OK in the past.
