#1 #1 Syria has agreed to allow UN officials to inspect the site of the recent chemical weapons attack that killed up to 1,400 people, but a "senior U.S. official" says that such an inspection would be "too late to be credible".

Evidently the failure of the rebels to support our national interests is no longer of concern.

#3 ...everyone is making bets upon assumptions that they know the character of each of the other players. The big assumption is that someone is going to blink. It's like Sarajevo 1914 all over again.

The name of the players change but the story line is the same.

#5 ...didn't need one for Libya. Got away with it. So who cares anymore. Of course BushChimpHitler got authorization for military force to use against AQ/Taliban and Iraq from Congress along with a UN approval, but as far as the Left is concerned he's a war criminal. If this was a Trunk prez, I'm sure the Donks and their media propaganda machine would be whispering the 'I' word. This one has no problem making sure no future president ever worries about the War Powers Act.

#6 So 300 or so people got killed with an alleged gas attack. But 100,000 people have been killed in Syria and nobody say jack boo.

And Congress sits on its collective a$$. Criminals all.

#7 ...part of that is the media machine. Hype,action,color. They got to sell their time on air and columns in print. "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." - William Randolph Hearst

That's why 100,000 didn't count. Obama was still reaping the puff machine adulation. Now with numbers in sky dive, they need to look important.

"We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!" - Governor William J. Le Petomane
