The Lesser Evil to strike again?

Rumors abound on the Internets that the O administration will soon be pushing for American troops on the ground in Syria.

The ostensible reason will be that Assad has – Gasp! – Mustard Gas!

Er, wait.

That’s “weapons of mass destruction,” to all you tykes born after the Cold War.

But, anyway, the real reason will be to deny control of the country to the al-Qaeda-led Islamic lunatics who are running the rebellion and to whom we have – inadvertently, one hopes – been supplying arms.

Then Syria will become the new Afghanistan.

Recall that O has repeatedly said that Afghanistan was the right war in the right place at the right time, in contrast to Bush 43’s invasion of Iraq.

And he never publicly backed away from that, whatever he may privately think.

Looks like he may be adding another right war, cut from the same cloth.

The one in Afghanistan has gone so well, after all.

And promises of withdrawal are exaggerated and, anyway, still just so much cheap talk.

What is actually happening?

The global war on terror is expanding.
