This is our plan to get involved in Syria.. It has been obvious for a while now.

You think the USA will still try to topple Assad?

Probably, but they shouldn't. Assad has been fighting these Islamist types for ages, in fact the West armed them to beat him. I don't know what their interest in Syria is, but I've been on Assad's side since the beginning.

One of the reasons the Muslim brotherhood et al dislike him leading is because they see him as a kaffir/blasphemer for being part of a minority Islamic sect. Bojangles is more clued on this part of the world than me, so I'd be interested to hear his thoughts.

I think the US interest in toppling Assad is two fold...

#1) I believe Syria is a close ally. I want to say Russia gets oil from Syria and is able to help control some of the middle east oil exports in this way.

#2) Syria doesn't have a globalist federal reserve bank running their country's economy into the ground. And this is a big push by the globalist elites.

So it is really bad foreign policy aimed to make the rich richer and the tax payers poorer.
