Khalilzad: Now is the Time to Mass Murder Syrians

Zalmay Khalilzad, a Muslim neocon (no, this is not an oxymoron), CFR and PNAC member, and currently Bush'" man on the ground ("ambassador") in Iraq, has floated a trial balloon, "off the record," of course: "the US will go into Syria to combat insurgents that have been using the country as a staging ground for terrorist activity in Iraq," said Khalilzad, according to the Huffington Post. Of course, this may simply be more propaganda designed to set the Syrians on edge, or maybe Zalmay had one too many drinks at businessman Teddy "junk bonds are wampum" Forstmann's "annual off the record gathering in Aspen, Colorado this weekend." On second thought, as a Muslim, Zalmay's not supposed to drink infidel firewater. Or maybe the former backer of the Taliban and student of neocon guru Albert Wohlstetter felt at home chewing the fat at Teddy's digs (Frostmann co-chaired Bush Senior's failed 1992 reelection campaign and made millions during the Clinton years for the likes of Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Donald Rumsfeld, and Colin Powell through exclusive "investments"). Khalilzad either felt at home and let fly in mixed company or this is another Bushian trick designed to muddy the waters.
