Seeing rows and rows of dead children (and the news was saying this what we can show you, you can't stomach the rest) and with America drawing a line in the sand on use of chemical weapons, Obama is backed into a corner.
I don't see how he cannot respond.
I don't understand Assad. He had to have known that using chemical weapons (I mean, who else would have used them right?) was going to be known by the world and even Russia couldn't back his move on that.

How do we know this is not a set up by the rebels? This is a bottomless hole & we don't heed to be involved.

After watching the imposter inaction (purposely one word) I can see how. I'm hoping he'll send Al and Jessie to fix this. He's not a leader and never will be.

Actually I tend to agree, however the U.S. is already on record saying they'd respond with force (or weapons or whatever) if chemical weapons were used. I assume they felt that line would never be crossed but now that it has, I don't see how they are going to leave it as an empty threat. I was listening to a U.N. rep on the news this morning. He said it will be a two prong process (fairly obvious I guess). 1. determine if nerve gas was used 2. determine who used it He said he estimated it would take about 3 days to determine.

interesting situation because if Hillary, McCain or Romney were president, we'd already be bombing key Syrian military targets

Why does the U.S. always HAVE to get involved in the Middle East?
We have our own problems here to deal with. Obama can't save US, he damn sure can't save them.
They have been killing each other over there since sand was a rock.
I don't like the method or the targets, but is it really worth starting another war over? Will it solve anything to have us involved?
Make no mistake, our own government would not hesitate to use these methods of execution on those HERE that oppose them, (People like you and I, that are against him and his minions.) If he thought it would end opposition to their agenda, they would do it in a heartbeat. Getting someone to execute the orders may be a little harder for him to accomplish though.

There IS an extremely serious potential consequence. IF the opposition should ever get THEIR grubby hands on the chems we may have to look at Sarin or even worse,Novochok being used here. NOT a very pleasant thing to contemplate.

Take a lesson from Egypt.....oh wait he is.
News media can't decide who are the bad guys because the president hasn't told them yet. It is going to take serious consideration, more golf and a couple more vacations to figure out.
In any case they will only hate us more for our involvement no matter which side we take.

Arabs have been killing Arabs for thousands of years.....thousands of years from now they will still be killing each other.
I'm in agreement, a million arabs are not worth one US Marine.

The world knows Obama is a total joke.
He will making one of his stuttering speeches and nothing will change. Especially if it involves military actions against his rughead brethren. But he might decide to increase their monetary aid.

What is to be gained by American intervention? Is this another oil thing. How long will the good guys be the good guys over there and what constitutes a "good guy" in the Arab world?

Supporting the rebels is supporting the muslim brotherhood. That is not an option, no matter what is going on.
Women and children are the greatest casualties of war, always have been.
Stay out of this crap, supporting either side is a loose, loose proposition.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

Snake Yes and I'll raise you another 99,000,000. One dead stone age piece of vermin is not worth 1 US service person getting a hang nail.
