Attacking Syria Now? WTF?

According to Dan Simpson of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, "U.S. military and Bush administration civilian officials confirmed last week that U.S. forces have invaded Syria and engaged in combat with Syrian forces."

Now for the painfully obvious analogue (well... at least to intelligent people with any sense of history... i.e. no one in this administration, or any of its supporters):

The parallel with the Vietnam War, where a Nixon administration deeply involved in a losing war expanded the conflict -- fruitlessly in the event -- to neighboring Cambodia, is obvious. The end result was not changed in Vietnam; Cambodia itself was plunged into dangerous chaos, which climaxed in the killing fields, where an estimated 1 million Cambodians died as a result of internal conflict.

Yay. Undercover wars. Hooray.
