The 300?
Oh, that 300:
The Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Saturday expanding the number of U.N. cease-fire observers in Syria from 30 to 300 and demanding an immediate halt to the violence that has been escalating since the government and opposition agreed to end hostilities more than a week ago.
Well, they could help stop the Persians. But don't ask them to go shirtless. These 300 may fight in the shade, but it will be pool side under an umbrella if UN history is a guide.
And if this 300 represents the vanguard of an entire UN army, it will only work as long as the Turks are blessed for the job.
