Saving Little Syria

Final victory in the glorious crusade against terror appears ever closer, assuming it has disguised itself as war in order to confuse the enemy. Tens of thousands of civilians are expected to evacuate those paradisiac monuments to liberal interventionism, Falluja and Ramadi, as the Iraqi government prepares one more push to mop up the remnants of al-Qaida. The Iraqi government has issued pleas for help from the United States in defeating the resurgence of the insurgency which the United States and its poodle did so much to prevent between 2003 and 2011; and the US has responded by sending in heavy weapons and surveillance drones, because we can all afford it. Meanwhile, there are signs that al-Qaida has reacted to the accomplishment of our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan by moving into Syria, which is a jolly ungentlemanly thing for al-Qaida to do.
