My ongoing question is: what then?
Suppose we do a cruise missile attack?
Will the civil war just continue after we do this attack?
Will Assad and his boys still continue killing civilians, except just kill them the old fashioned way, instead of with chemical weapons?
What is our national security interest in a civil war in that part of the world?
Who are the good guys in that civil war?
If Assad if overthrown as a result of this war, is that in our national interest?
Could Syria become an Al Qaeda state if that happens?
Does it matter that these civilians were killed by chemical weapons as opposed to being killed by conventional means?
Is Assad quaking in his boots that Obama declares we’re going to have a congressional debate on this subject?
Didn’t you hear Pelosi? If we shoot a few missiles into Syria chemical weapons will never be used again. Her, boner and obama are going to stop weapons of mass destruction forever. The sad thing is I have to point out this is sarcasm.
