“King hussein heads to Dizzyland after successful bombing run.” Yup, he’s been bombing for over 4 years now.

"in the wake of last week's horrific chemical weapons attack in a suburb of Damascus" Note that the authors do not attribute the gassing to one side or the other.
Bombs away anyhow!

"punish him for using chemical weapons" Okay; reading further.....
Still, is there unequivocal proof, the type required by the U.N. of Bush?

Obama will say he is reluctantly backing down from bombing Syria because it will release an illegal amount of CO2 and contribute to Global Warming.

Who has control over Syria’s WMDs if Assad is defeated Mr. President?

Elizabeth was a member of three in a panel on CSPAN put on by the Atlantic Council.
She has been reporting from the front lines and discussed just how is on the saide opposing Assad.

Bombing a country to make a point....
... is defined as terrorism.

THIS is the right question.
Not the detective work on which Syrian a-holes gassed which other Syrian a-holes, but WHY would a couple of our missiles do anything to stop whoever it was from doing it again, and if nothing, what is our strategic objective in the region and how does missiling some Syrian Defense ministry buildings accomplish it?
Obama’s idiotic “red-line” did nothing and neither will his haphazard missile launch, if he even gets to do it.
To: Iron Munro
Right...He does do semantic tricks often.
To: rktman
President Nixon loved bombing our enemies into submission too. And when that failed, a simple homorable abandonment of our former allies (with Kerry’s approval) did the trick. Then the communist killing fields began in earnest.
Bottom line:
Obama is in way over his head and is going to get a whole lot of good people killed for nothing.

You'd think the mainstream "news" media would be discussing this, but no, a Dem is Prez, not a Repub. Wouldn't want to embarrass their selected boy-king wannabe.
It is an interesting question, though: what will King Zero do if he sends in the military and it has no effect? From experience, he will blame everyone and everything except himself and his own policies.

Yemen has to be next. Sudan is already pretty bad so no work to do there.

Watching CSPAN House hearings with Kerry and Hagel.
Rep From Illinois, a current vet and national Guard Gentlemen,...a Republican just gave the very best rationale I have for why we must talk action in Syria, held of a picture of several children prior to their dying in the Sarin Gas attack,
He talked about the years of No Fly zone in Iraq due to Hussein's chemical attack on the Kurds.,
Very Strong argument to take action.

So you've bombed Syria. What next? Now that you did nothing but lob a few missiles and killed Innocent people. And did nothing to his military and their arms. Great job. Kerry, the nut Vietnam hero, and King Obama, the communists black Muslim.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
We need to bomb Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood in Syria immediately!
Oh wait....
