Another point is this:
The US can’t claim to be shocked by the violations of the Geneva Accords, and then violate the UN’s relationship to the accords as the now-accepted arbitrators of the “protecting powers” provisions.
Because Geneva is violated we’re going to violate Geneva.
This point is important too:
Not everyone is convinced yet of Syria’s culpability and of the true culprit.
Evidence: Syria gas attack work of U.S. allies
Contrary evidence arises as U.S. considers punishing Assad regime

Shades of Spanish-American War? U.S.S. Maine?
Rep Peter King was on Fox this AM saying its Constitutional for presidents to start wars on their own because other presidents have done it before them. With jerks like that in positions of authority in DC its no wonder the Constitution has been shredded beyond all recognition. He dodged direct questions about what the threat to the USA was and prattled on and on about how other presidents had done it so it was OK. Jeeeez! Even FDR went to Congress and asked that a state of war be declared. FDR for God’s sake. The hero of heroes to the lefties. King has been given way too much recognition by Fox and is IMHO another RINO in disguise.
Even if they are, so what? Do we really need to get involved in ANOTHER haji country's internal strife? Let 'em wipe each other out; nothing but good can come from fewer Muslims in the world.
