Payback?

One can only hope this worry has a basis in fact:

[Syrian] Gen. Haddad also confirmed witness accounts that army units were surrounding the eastern town of al-Boukamal, near the Iraqi frontier, "to protect the borders." The area was a smuggling route for insurgents and weapons into Iraq in the 2000s, and Syrian officials worry about a reverse flow of arms into Syria.

Payback is, as the expression goes, a bitch.

And I wonder what the jihadis inside Syria who don't see much of a future going to Iraq to die in a losing cause are doing?
