Who Wins If America Bombs Syria?

[HooptieWagon]

29. Assad, MIC, and NeoCons.

Assad wins because he survives an attack from the US. He still has CWs, and a quasi excuse to use them. If he didn't use them in this case, he can claim moral high ground and point to US blunder as an illegal act of war.

MIC wins because every missle fired, every bomb dropped, helps their bottom line.

NeoCons win b/c they can claim their "permanent war" policy is now bi-partisan.

Losers:
Syrian civilians, who are casualties of an escalated war.
Americans, who see their tax dollars disappearing into yet another unwinnable quagmire.
US foreign policy, further discredited.
US military, stretched even further by foreign entanglements.
