U.N. experts investigating a poison gas attack in Syria left the country on Saturday, paving the way for the United States to lead military strikes to punish President Bashar al-Assad.
U.S. President Barack Obama said the United States, which has five cruise-missile equipped destroyers in the region, was planning "limited, narrow" military action to punish Assad for an attack that Washington said killed 1,429 people.
"We cannot accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale," Obama said on Friday after Washington unveiled an intelligence assessment concluding Assad's forces were to blame for the attack.

Qassim Saadeddine, a former Syrian army colonel and spokesman for the rebels' Supreme Military Council, said rebel groups had been sent a military plan of action.

Some of the most successful rebel groups are fiercely anti-Western Sunni Islamists allied to al Qaeda, and the West is wary of arming the opposition for fear of weapons reaching them.

As Led Zeppelin said, “Ooh, it makes me wonder...”
ValJ (nee Valerie Bowman) was born in Iran.
Putin is out there today on Drudge personally basically telling Mr. Nobel Peace Prize Obama he’d better watch his effing step or he’ll eff him up.....you can’t get any clearer than that diplomatically.
If rumors of B1 bombers leaving Kansas last night around 10:30 pm are true, my guess (with input of a knowledgeable FReeper) is around 4:30-5:00 this evening.
God protect our military! They are being ‘lead’ by the most sinister and corrupt CIC in American history.
Hilldabeast is staying clear of this so that she is pristine come her coronation in 2016. Also heard the rebels or thier cohorts did this to blame assad with bozos blessing. This is a dilberate action caused by this regime to start the fuse
Arab capitals are balking. I say no strike tonight!
Where is the evidence?
Was this gas military grade or home cooked?
How was it delivered? Intentionally or by home cooked accident?
Ok. Bowman doesn’t sound Persian to me. Was she born to American parents?
I wonder what ‘retaliatory’ attacks on US soil poshitus is planning in response.
Egyptian Christian Leader: ‘Shame on Obama’

I believe both parents were Americans.
And probably devout commies....
Daniel 7:4 shows the eagle's wings being plucked out of the lion.
All my life I have been preached too and studied many versions of the last days and have had many preachers claim this event or that event...never before have I seen so many prophecies seemingly be fulfilled before my very eyes.
Oddly I am not dismayed at the prospect of 0bama's actions for I believe it is all happening on God's timing now. There are princes and principalities, angels and demons, seals, and trumpets to be sounded.
I have long said America has to be removed from the world stage in order for the endtimes to be fulfilled. This is happening. 0bama's strike will have catastrophic consequences as predicted in Daniel 8. It will bring the collapse of the US and the beginning of sorrows will rev-up for 2300 days. But if you want to be really startled read verses 18-25. if that is not a description of Obama... ?
But...as dark as some of this may seem I believe America is the only country on earth that can turn aside and back to God to do God's will. Why do I think such craziness...election 2016. The prophecy says ...he shall be broken, but by no human hand...an election? America needs a good hard lesson in order to turn her heart back to God.
Written way back in 2000...something to think through and study very carefully... The Prophetic Future of the United States
I am reading (except not in any US sources) that the al nusra front is responsible.
One from Chicago , the other from Washington DC
In my opinion, your assessment is correct. What remains to be seen is what Russia and China will do.
I thought that WAS Mick Jagger at first..!
Yes they will...
No they wont...
Obama could declare Congress in permanent recess and they still would do nothing...............
Boener never does as long as he gets to get ahead of Matthews in line to service Obama.
