#3 "President Vladimir Putin's refusal to budge since last month's chemical-weapons massacre prompted a group of 11 countries, including Britain and the US, to issue a sharply critical statement yesterday."

They clearly understand the purpose of the UNSC. Sounds more as if they just realised sending strongly worded letters to oneself doesn't actually achieve much.

#4 Just one more example of the left's attitude of "If you don't agree with me on all things, you are evil and worthless."

Note that there was no complaint at any of the other obstructionist actions when an R was in the WH.

#5 Britain and US question purpose of United Nations security council

Cause it provides a fig leaf of legitimacy in the absence of Congressional Constitutional authorization to use military force in the absence of any immediate direct threat to the United States - ie Libya.

#7 Well UP, this is one time we really don't have to read it, to know what is in it. This entire exercise is a crock of shi* that could easily blow up in our face. Telegraphing your plan of attack, then awaiting the arrival of the opposition is sheer madness.

#9 Iff they US + UK so choose, they can call for the formal amendment of the original UN Treaty, IIRC aka the Treaty of San Francisco establishing the United Nations in 1944 under then-POTUS Harry Truman???

NOTHING IS STOPPING THE US, UK, OR ANY OTHER SIGNATORY WORLD NATIONS FROM DOING SO EXCEPT THEMSELVES.

-----------

* ION FREEREPUBLIC > [Gateway Pundit] WHITE HOUSE ADMIST IT HAS NO ALLIES FOR SYRIA ATTACK - A COALITION OF ONE!?

RELATED BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Google News] TWO-THRIDS OF FRENCH OPPOSE SYRIA ACTION: POLL.

* WASHINGTON POST [WaPo] > WHITE HOUSE: IRREFUTABLE ASSAD LINK TO GAS ATTACK LACKING, BUT PASSES "COMMON SENSE" [litmus] TEST.

RELATED BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Reuters] DIRECT LINK BETWEEN ASSAD + GAS ATTACK ELUSIVE FOR US.

versus

* AFP > OBAMA SYRIA DIFFICULTIES CAUSES WORRIES IN ISRAEL.

* FREEREPUBLIC > [WND.com] OBAMA OFFERS ASSAD SECRET DEAL, SET FOUR (4) CONDITIONS TO AVERT US ATTACK ON SYRIA.

The Bammers' prob in this still remains the arrogance of the all-or-nothing Assad Govt, versus the all-or-nothing anti-Assad Syrian Rebels, now affected by the intrevention of foreign Hard Boyz.

#10 OOOOOOPPPPPPSSS, my bad, forgot MIDDLE EAST ONLINE > EUROPE [EuroUnion = EU, NATO?] HIT SYRIA [hard] BUT DON'T COUNT ON US.

Not unlike the anti-Assad Muslim States.

AND YET THE DEMAND THAT THE US CANNOT, SHOULD NOT, + MUST NOT BE ETC. THE "WORLD'S POLICEMAN" STILL RANTS ON.

Well, I'm convinced ...

lol.
