I doubt they have “doubts.” I suspect they are pretty solidly sure that this is bad news.

If President [Bashar al-Assad] were to absorb the strikes and use chemical weapons again, this would be a significant blow to the United States credibility and it would be compelled to escalate the assault on Syria to achieve the original objectives, What if the rebel terrorists launched the chemical weapons. It would seem to be in their interests to launch them again and again so Obama can pummel as-Assad.

I want to know why he isn’t launching military strikes against Chicago.

And if the president violates the Constitution and unilaterally declares war, will the military knowingly follow illegal orders?

Stay out of it unless the intention is to wipe Assad out. Pin pricks won’t do anything. Let them kill each other.

Obama gets more and more like Adolf Hitler every day!!! The German high command knew Hitler was crazy from 1941 on. They were against the battle of Britain....and, even more so against the invasion of Russia!!! From 1933 forward there were 60 attempts at taking Hitler’s life, the overwhelming majority being launched from mid to high level military officers!!! Even the great General Erwin Rummel knew the war was lost at the beginning of 1944!!! Difference between Hitler and Obama, with the same result is, Hitler was a maniac and Obama is an ego driven fool!!! The American high command, the ones that have to go and fight feeel the exact same way about Obama as the German military felt about Adolf Hitler!! Go figure!!! The whole world is laughing at the USA and believes Obama is a failed USA POTUS!!! He is!!!

Assad protects the Christian communities that are still around from the days of the Disciples, The rebels will wipe them off the face of the map.

Survival against a better-armed opponent is deemed a victory in that culture. So, when Assad re-emerges after Obama throws his temper tantrum.... what happens then?
Therein lies the problem for unqualified blobs like Obama. All he knows is to agitate. Thoughtful, analytical leadership is as lost upon this gaggle as the inner workings of a wristwatch are to an aardvark.

>>>Even the great General Erwin Rummel knew the war was lost at the beginning of 1944!!!<<<
A careful analysis of Goebbels ‘Total Crieg’ speech shows they all knew it as early as February 1943.
As for a smart Germans they knew the war was lost by 1941 Christmas.

They have "deep doubts?" Are there any of them with the stones to speak up? Their careers would of course be ended, but they'd have their integrity, their Honor and the thanks of future generations of free Americans. That's a damn sight more than the tools occupying the corridors of the Pentagon have now or will leave as a legacy.
