If Obama gets approval for his limited strike and it doesn’t accomplish what they think it will. What happens then?
...........................................................
First what do they think it will accomplish?

The bombing is only being done to save Obama’s face.
Will it accomplish that?

If the bombing helps the Muslim Brotherhood it only accomplishes placing Sharia law in another country and getting the Christians there killed.

Do we really want to replace Assad with something worse like we got in Egypt?

The bombing might really start a hot war, is that an accomplishment?
Russia might intervene is that an accomplishment? Are the unknowns really worth the risk to save Obama’s face, when the rest of the world is already laughing at this fool?

What could go wrong? Let’s see:

1. Russia and Iran are allied w Syria. Odds are we will have a shooting war and a naval battle group is blown out of the water. US Naval Admirals do not like placing capital ships in that bath tub. Between Syria and Russia, they have over 500 anti-missiles.

2. No one in Syria likes us. We have no bases in the ME.

3. Syria will attack Israel. According to Janes, Israel has over 200 nukes. The IDF is known for its tenacity. Attack Israel with WMDs and Damacas, Cairo, Beruit, Bagdad, Tehran, Mecca, Riyadh, Istanbul, and Tripoli become glass parking lots.

The air strike is only a part of the what Obama wants. Obama wants to arm the Syrian rebel army, which is led by a former VP of the Muslim Brotherhood from Texas. The MB is the grand-daddy of all terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda and Hamas.
