#1 Silly Syrian boys. It's time for Syria to take its hurt little ego and go home. They say what two blackhawks can do. It would be a bad day to see a company of Apaches crossing the border into Syria. It's best for them to just complain to the corrupt UN and be done with it.

#2 Why do I not feel the least bit sorry for them, even though it seems that we may have done what they claim?

I guess criminals are technically civilians. But the era of using borders on a map as safe refuge to commit terrorist and criminal acts seems to be over.
It doesn't work for the PKK any more, it doesn't work for the Pakis, and now it doesn't work for the Syrians. Take a lesson and commit crimes in your own country.

#3 Lots of precedent in the Mexican border conflicts with Pancho Villa. Mexican criminals raided into the US and retreated to safe haven in Mexico, where our troops were forbidden to pursue. Eventually an agreement was reached with the Mexican (quasi-) government and Pershing mounted sanctioned anti-Villa efforts within northern Mexico. But he was forbidden to shoot at Mexican government soldiers - so whenever he got close to Villa he would find Mexican soldiers in the way.

#5 With all the strikes in Pakistan over the past couple of months, even a fool like Assad should have known to quit while he was ahead.
