I think it is likely that now 0 is facing increased opposition that this will be a few Tomahawks to the desert.
I hope that's the most it is, although I think it's too much. We are not the world's police, and it's not our job to take care of the ME, no matter how much the Neons and Dems and RINOs think it is.
I don't think a war with Syria would drag in Russia, but I do think it will drag in Iran, and we do not need more war, not with our military in its current state and most importantly, not with the idiots in Washington running it.
We are damn lucky that the neocons didn't get their way under Bush or we would have fought Iran and Syria while Iraq and Afghanistan were not stabilized. At times I wonder if Obama has some of Bush's idiots, who just thought "oh, we take out Saddam, and then everything will fall into place." Here we are, out of Iraq, and sectarian fighting is killing nearly a thousand people a month in Iraq. Libya? We intervened, Ghaddafi is taken out, and now Libya is a disaster. They want us to intervene in Syria, but they have no strategic plans if Assad goes down. We already know how Syria would pan out - much worse than Libya and Iraq.
The most troubling thing of all is not the Obama administration's lack of a strategic view of things, it's how many Republicans they've conned into doing their bidding.

Does zebra have white stripes on black hide or vice versa? Does it really matter? BJ Clinton and Odumbo, with Dubya intermission. The same people run the show while running America to the ground.
Neocons and lieberals have one common denominator- propensity for brazen lies to manipulate, that's why they work so well together.
Reagan was the last American president. America won the Cold war against Communism and was destroyed within afterwards by Liberals and Neocons working together.
"Against enemies...foreign and domestic...". Domestic part was missed by too many.
