British press now seems to be of the opinion the Assad Regime deliberately targeted the journalists. This may be the straw that broke the camels back in terms of NATO intervention. The brothers Assad may have gone a “bridge too far” on this one. The next 48-72 hours are critical...

Would add-Edith Bouvier, a French journalist is in critical condition in a makeshift hospital. Attempts to get to her are being made. France announced it is holding Syria responsible. Whatever that means in terms of response...

Not likely. "Colvin was killed by a rocket, along with award-winning French photographer Rémi Ochlik, while fleeing a building being shelled by the Syrian Army in Homs, Syria during the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising.having made her last broadcast on the evening of February 21, 2012, appearing on the BBC, CNN, ITN News and Channel4 via satellite phone. They had both entered Syria illegally."

It is that last line that is Assad's get out of jail free card. You are in a war zone illegally. At that point you take responsibility on yourself if you get dead. Unless France and Britain really want to get into a war, and they are kinda broke at the moment, this will just be another nasty letter incident. Britain literally emptied their magazines of smart munitions over Libya. They aren't up for another fight yet.

Only the US has the firepower to do much in that end of the world. And as explained earlier this just is not our fight. If the rebels want to buy some surplus weapons cash and carry I'm OK with that. Call up their Saudi sugar daddies and tell them to cut a check. But no troops, no credit.

Unfortunately, I doubt it.

This morning, the Russians & Iranians are telling us to stay out of it. They are calling for no foreign intervention... Ha - except them, of course.
And it looks like we are going to comply.
