[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2278967, member: 1132"] In some form or fashion, Israel would still get the blame. I'm not a huge Israel supporter, more of a "let them do as they wish and accept their own consequences" type. I empathize with their plight but sometimes they are their own worst enemy, and that's saying a lot. The ridiculous part is McCain thinking the US will have any control over a Salafist regime in Syria. Sure it will be a majority rule, but they still hate Israel. Does it matter much whether Hizballah or Hamas is ascendant in Lebanon? They both want to wipe Israel off the map. There are currently over 600,000 Syrian refugees in Lebannon. Guess what groups of people are highly susceptible to indoctrination and recruitment into terrorist organizations? If you just said "Refugees!", give yourself a prize. Further, expecting Turkey and Saudi Arabia to exert control over al Qaeda affiliated groups if the Salafists win is exceedingly foolish. How many of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi? Oh yeah, great control on that front! I honestly don't know what McCain and Graham's angles are, unless they're shilling for major military arms manufacturers. As foolish and arrogant as they are, even I would still like to believe they aren't that craven. :( [/QUOTE]
