#1 "Syria has become a huge magnet for terrorists extremists" who can now recruit, train and equip a growing number of militants there, he told the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Agreed! Blindingly fok'n obvious, but agreed. So now, how do you transition this event to an advantage? Below are three suggestions that might mitigate the threat:

1. Please consider allowing evil to smite evil by permitting Assad and his Russian/Persian pals to exterminate Al Qaeda within the convenient confines of Syria, as thoroughly as possible.

2. Bid those who travel to Syria to join Al Qaeda a farewell, with no right of return to Europe or to wherever they originated. Well how do you accomplish this? Thank you, I'm glad you asked. See para three below.

3. Terminate the 1995 borderless Shengen Agreement failure and begin enforcing national sovereignty via aviation, train, and border checkpoint monitoring and the sharing of electronic travel information.

Maybe, but if resources committed to the problem are an indication, it appears the administration considers the Tea Party to be a bigger threat (to its power).
