Every Chance At Destabilizing [bashar] Assad... The Bombing Campaign Causes A Flood Of Refugees Into Jordan, There's Already Half A Million In Jordan. I Think A Bombing Campaign - I Think It's Hard To Argue That A U.s. Bombing Campaign Is Going To Cause Less Refugees. And I Think It Causes More Refugees And More Of A Humanitarian Disaster. I Think It Causes, Or Allows, The Risk Of Israel Being Attacked With A Gas Attack To Go Up, If We Attack Assad. So There's All Kinds Of Bad Things.
