BBCNews.com, hardly a pro-Bush site, is reporting the rationale for this one-time raid five miles into Syrian territory:

“The US military sent troops 8km (five miles) into Syria, to the village of Sukkiraya, to take action which they hope will help shut down al-Qaeda's secret pipeline into Iraq for men, weapons and money.

The mission was to capture or kill, Abu Ghadiya, an Iraqi-born al-Qaeda cell leader the US says has helped to bring thousands of jihadist fighters across the border.”

Sen. Obama has repeatedly said he would authorize cross-border raids into Pakistan, if it meant smoking out terrorists. Is there a difference between that and what President Bush has done?

Because altho he managed to stretch the US military in two endless wars,jettisoned our economic prosperity, and ruined our international reputation, he did not want to leave office without starting WWIII.
