#2 Stalingrad, with Assad = Hitler. Although with a much shorter retreat and somewhat balmier weather.

#3 I hope these rebels understand now that Uncle Sugar is NOT gonna bail their asses out of this one. It's gonna be like the good old days when wars were fought until one side wins and the other loses and woe unto the losers. Hey, you start a war, you accept the consequences. We're not buying all this bullcrap about how that mean old Assad has to step down just because he's a mean old guy. We don't give a rat's ass who wins or who loses because they are ALL bad. I hate to sound so cynical but maybe this way you bitches will think twice before starting another war.

Now, I have my popcorn but can I please get some Milk Duds?

#4 In a shoot out between two sides, both of which are vile, the only thing I am rooting for in this one is a high body count on both sides and lots of jihadist/terrorists buried with their weapons.

Every pound of explosives they use on each other is a pound of explosives they can't use on us or our allies.

I hope this drains their supply chain for a while.
