On Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson dubbed the Syrian Civil War an “issue of homeland security for the United States,” while other officials express concern that Syria is nearing a “worst case scenario” for the US.
That worst case is a stalemated civil war, where al-Qaeda factions have control of significant territory and access to recruits they can use to launch attacks abroad, including at the United States.
Which is funny, because the US has long presented a protracted stalemate as its overt goal is Syria, arming the rebels enough to keep them in the fight and eventually force talks where the US could get a favorable settlement for themselves.
A stalemate the administration was convinced was worthwhile is now plainly a calamity, but with much of the administration’s leadership still grousing about their failed push to sell a US invasion of Syria, it may well be that spinning Syria’s status quo as a disaster, albeit one that is in no small part a product of US policy, might give them another chance to push for war.
The idea for England, France, USA , Saudis to enter and conquer Syria as their colonial territory is long goon, for Saudis-Wahhabis expending their religious monarchism is long go on, Hillary Clinton betting on regime change is lost, so, in retaliating against NATO not wanting to invade Syria, is to create a Saudis-Wahhabis barbarian states and that's when western modernized civilization get nervous. A wrongful idea, an stupid politics, the ignorant mind and wicked politics in cooperation with Saudis-Wahhabis is what you get. Two years ago we said that "they are dividing Syria using these elements as their tools", if there was any interests in keeping these elements out of Syria, they should have done something about it then, we even mentioned the airlines and place of departures for these elements, they should have listen then.

This was the goal of the empire from day one, infiltrate Syria with Al- Qaeda elements, while supplying them with weapons, known very well that one day they can make the ridiculous claim that al-Qaeda has become a threat to the homeland…..after all who is going to dispute that claim…. We are at war with al-Qaeda. Can't get any better than this people.
Jeh Johnson, the Eric Holder of Homeland Security. This guy is going to be great…
So our world can expect the TSA to show up in Syria for cavity searches and in general harassment of the Syrian people? Hmmm, the Obama regime just transcended from mere circle jerking to full frontal clusterf*cking of world class proportions.
When did Syria become part of the American homeland? I must have missed that.
If the argument is being made that the rise of 'al-Qaeda affilliates' in Syria poses an existential threat to the US, maybe it's time for the US to go all in and get behind Assad to crush the life out of the rebel forces as well as anyone else who threatens Syria's stability. It's not like we don't know where the anti-Assad forces are, or what they're armed with (since we gave them the weapons anyway), so getting rid of our aging stocks of dumb iron bombs shouldn't even be argued. The Syrians get a stable nation again, the US gains a client state, our current crop of B-52 crews get some combat experience, and the MIC gets to spend money to replace the bombs we drop on The Bad Guys ™. I can't see this as anything but a win/win proposition.
Pro Tip to US Government: As with all of your foreign interventions, 'humanitarian' or otherwise…. your mileage may vary.

This is exactly what I predicted months ago: that the US would use the influx of "Al Qaeda" in Syria to justify a military intervention similar to the bogus Iraq "fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" bullcrap.
However, the REAL target will remain Assad's forces, especially his missile arsenal which could be used to threaten Israel in an IRAN war, as well as aiding in the decimation of Syrian forces to allow Israel to cross Syrian territory to attack Hizballah in Lebanon as a prelude to an Iran war.
