I fear your bones may be right. Meanwhile here is another view of the problem. Reading it, my conclusion is the most useful thing that could be done is to clear the skies of airplanes, except for the problem of how Russia would react.
Why should we do anything there, no matter what is happening? These rebels are pure jihadi wahabbi moslem brotherhood. The same crew that took over Egypt and crufiying Christians.
And im amazed how many people here are content to believe Obama’s claim that gas attacks are about to happen, which happens to be his way to get us in a war in Syria.
Insanity. The rebels are more anti israel than Assad. Obama is doing more of his evil work. And unfortunately, many on our side automatically support every single war, no matter how wrong it is for us.
Smells like a setup in the making. Best guess ... both sides have chemical weapons.
