Everybody Talks About the Syrian Border...

But no one does anything about it.

Thoughts on why from Sully and Steve Sailer.

The most disturbing possibility:

"At least part of the Administration wants to conquer Syria, which is more of a problem for Israel than Iraq was, so they want the border to stay porous as an excuse for invading Syria."

This reminds me of a statement that one of Lawrence Auster's readers made when in a dialog with him: "Sealing the Syrian border is probably not feasible. What is required is a confrontation with Syria."

Of course, once we "confront" Syria, and then are forced into a ground war where we conquer Syria, what will we do when the Syrian insuirgency begins, or when we find foreign terrorists from Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. are invading Syria?

Or maybe no one is concerned with that. As soon as we are stretched too thin in too many Middle Eastern countries, they can (a) argue for a draft, or more liekly (b) start the brutal suppression of hte population.

That is all.
