Analysis: U.S. strike would aim to punish Assad, not turn tide of war

(Reuters) - Any strike by the United States and its allies on Syria will probably aim to teach President Bashar al-Assad - and Iran - a lesson on the risks of defying the West, but not try to turn the tide of the civil war.

U.S. and European officials say a short, sharp attack - perhaps entirely with cruise missiles - is the preferred response to what they believe is Assad’s responsibility for a chemical weapons attack on rebel-held areas last week.

If such a strike goes ahead, President Barack Obama’s administration will have to select its targets with extreme care as it tries to deter not only Assad but also Syria’s ally Iran over its nuclear program.

A total cover up and distraction from Benghazi-Gate’s gun-running operation into the wrong hands, costing four Americans their lives and many others wounded!

It was getting hotter and hotter by the day and the gassing could most likely been done by the “rebels” to incite Britt/French/U.S. intervention on their behalf!!

Never trust a Muzzie, NEVER, and Barry and his company in the W.H. are just that, Muzzies!!!
