Quote:So it's not that easy and clear cut as 5 million soldiers versus 35.000 insurgents.
That was Bill Maher who came up with that graphic and he forgets that the vast bulk of that 5 million are committed to repressing the populations in their home countries. Sure, they could flood Syria with soldiers...could they handle the logistics more than a mile from their borders? Doubtful. And they would have to be willing to risk insurrection at home. I doubt they are willing to take that risk even if they could support an expeditionary force.
