General Jack Keane, a former vice chief of staff of the US Army, told BBC Radio 4 that he had spoken to senior Republican senators who had been briefed by the US president on Monday, and had been assured that Mr Obama planned to do significant damage to the forces of Bashar al-Assad.
The Obama administration has previously said that military strikes would not be aimed at toppling Assad's government nor altering the balance of the conflict. Instead, the White House has suggested, they would be intended to punish Assad for the alleged gas attack in Damascus on Aug 21 and to reinstate Washington's "red line" against the use of chemical weapons.
But Gen. Keane said he understood Mr Obama was planning a more substantial intervention in Syria than had previously been thought, with increased support for the opposition forces, including training from US troops. He said the plans could involve "much more substance than we were led to believe".

Obama: Hey man...I understand Syrians are killing Syrians so to stop that I’m gonna go to Syria and kill Syrians /obama
Rumors have it that it will involve a no fly zone, and ground troops to secure the Chem weapons and refugee areas.
US ground forces may also attack the Syrian military and the Al Nusara terrorists, and to secure Damascus. The Israelis may also be involved in ground action.
Also, Obama may be bringing out George W Bush to campaign for support for this mission.
I hope that Putin & Russia lays down their own red line to 0dumb0 re. any attack on Syria. That might give the demoRAT liberals & socialists in the House & Senate conniptions having to choose between their once favorite USSR/Russia versus their leftist muzlim messiah 0dumb0.
Actually, it was under Alexander the Great! He was King of Macedonia, one of the many states of Grecia, and under his power ALL of Grecia was united, along with Egypt, Asia Minor, Babylonia, Syria, Persia, Medes, and even into India. When Alexander abruptly died (and who doesn't really?) at the peak of his power, his generals split his Kingdom into FOUR parts.
Two of these four parts, Ptolemy's Egypt and Seleucus Babylonia and Syria, would vex Judea greatly for the next two-three centuries until the rise of the Romans.
Daniel would definitely want the Jews to know what was to become, and it did EXCATLY as his visions and the Angel Gabriel told him it would.
Meant to add, that the Ptolemic Empire of Egypt, and the Seleucid Empire of Syria/Babylonia, would become the Kings of the South and North, respectively, mentioned so much in Daniel Chapter 11.
That is a great statement and very true. No matter what the liberals, socialists, marxists, humanists, fascists, etc., say, human government and its' benefits or totalitarian oppressions come from their religious viewpoint.
0dumb0 and nearly of liberals/socialism/seculiarism reject the truth of the Scriptures and a Supreme Creative God, and instead are trying to transform America into that of their father, the Devil, who is the father of all lies. God raises up nations & rulers and destroys them as well. I believe that America is quickly heading toward destruction with its embrace of abortion, killing babies, euthenasia, homosexuals/lesbians, hatred of Christianity & a Creative Supreme God to whom we all must give an account some day.
Can you say ObamaGeddon kids?

Top of the pile..
Dogpile.
Hopefully our military personnel will decide to have bad aim and will inflict mass casualties on Al Quida instead.
Yep. I think this is the big one. Good time to reflect on the state of your relationship with your Creator.
If these senators gave Keane secret information....well, nothing would be done about it.
I wonder if this is how obama is going to destroy this nation. The financial collapse he was wanting didn’t happen fast enough.
Wouldn’t it be something if the Eyptian military publicly warned us to back off.
AMEN!
This is exactly what McCain said. The want to “degrade” the regime and “upgrade” the opposition. He didn’t use the word MB but that’s what he means.
Is this the ship McCain was on? It was intentionally sunk a few years back to make a reef.
I know the vast majority, if not all, on here are smarter than me. You’re prediction is scary and I sure as hell won’t argue with you about it.
There’s no way we can get control of those chemicals. If our troops get anywhere near them they will be released on the people. When the Marines go in with their protective gear they’ll find dead bodies all over the place. Muslims love to die.
Who is W going to convince? Those who hate him already love obama. Those who love him already hate obama.
Thank you for your post.

The same mentally ill agendas of Obozo Liar, McAinal, Kerry the Faux Vietnam hero, and congressional rats wanting to bomb Syria could apply to 9/11!
