The whole rush to rain fire down on the Assad regime is very suspicious, for the very reason set forth in this article. First, their main tactical support (other then the Obama regime) has come through Egypt, and it's unlikely that pipeline, in the form of weapons and people (from places like Benghazi to the west and from the streets of Alexandria and Cairo) has been halted by the toppling of Morsi.

Assad did, indeed, begin turning the tide in June.

Obama's Credibility Gap (only 9 percent of Americans favor intervention in Syria) becomes a real problem in the real world as it's become more clear over time how the desire of the Saudi Sunnis to use the U.S. as a mercenary arm, and the willingness of Obama to obey is being slowly brought to light.

In preliminary trials for Morsi and his Capos it just came out that our administration personally bribed them, as high as $850,000. That news is being buried by the compliant, clueless news media. The War Powers Act has so far been ignored by mouthpieces like Graham and McCain.

The whole thing stinks. Is there an American interest in this theater? Are our war powers now completely in the hands of the Saudi royals?

Once again, as in Benghazi, honest peole have to ask why we are doing anything to aid al-Qaida?

Obama has painted himself into a corner w/ his stupid "red line" comment.

Now he has to do something or he looks like a weakling and a coward. Meanwhile, Putin is licking his chops for a chance to punch Obama right in the nose, after poking him in eye over the NSA debacle.

A half-hearted, ala bj, cruise missile attack on a facility in the middle of nowhere will be a joke, and recognized as such by every party. It will only confirm his weakness.

A genuine attack has NO backing in the US and could bring a retaliation from Russia using the Syrians as frontmen. At that point the fat's in the fire.
