Seems the US attacked a village 10 miles inside Syria, two helicopters landed and disbursing commandos who then killed a bunch of, what Syria claims, were construction workers.  As Brandon notes, 10 miles means it wasn’t a "mistake" and this is the first time the US has attacked there. I know Syria isn’t considered all that friendly to the US, despite having helped quite a bit against al-Q’aeda, but either destabilizing them or encouraging them to retaliate through underhanded means (i.e., supporting terrorism or the Iraqi insurgency) seems… unwise. The foreign policy clown car that is the Bush administration continues to accelerate.

As with Pakistan, and as in the Vietnam war, America’s wars are getting out of control, and spreading to other countries. It’s long past time to bring the troops home.
