#9 * RELATED FREEREPUBLIC > [Hot AiR] FEARSOME NEW WHITE HOUSE TALKING POINT ON SYRIA : OUR ATTACK WILL BE "UNBELIEVABLY SMALL".

versus

* WAFF > AMERICANS DISLIKE OF MILITARY STRIKE ON SYRIA GROWING = REUTERS/IPSOS POLL | WHY IS THE SUPPORTING AL-QAEDA? ... ... ...

Ditto the majority of ordinary Frenchies + Brits.

* DAILY STAR LEBANON > ASSAD FORCES FEAR REBEL RAMPAGE [violent = bloody retaliation] AFTER US STRIKE.

* SAME > US SENATORS SET WEDNESDAY FOR SYRIA VOTE.

RELATED BUSINESS INSIDER = [Lindsey Graham + John Mc Cain] GOP SENATORS: NEW SYRIA
"BREAKTHROUGH" [Kerry proposal] MEANS CONGRESS SHOULD PASS AIRSTRIKE AUTHORIZATION.

IIUC, to give teeth = support to SecState Kerry's proposed solution while also rducing the number of Sequester-affected USDOD Mil Assets for Syria strike.

WILL ASSAD ACCEPT?

FYI conversely the Syrian Rebels + foreign Militants are not going to accept Assad staying in power nor any turnover of Chem Weaps by him being offsetted by massive new non-WMD replacement arms + $$$ flows to him by Russia + Iran, etc.

US CREDIBILITY IS N-O-T HELPED BY RAISING THE ANTI-ASSAD SYRIAN REBELS INSPIRATIONS WID MORE/NEW FALSE HOPES - ITS ONLY GONNA PISS 'EM OFF + MAKE NEW ENEMIES OF THE US, I.E. IFF POST-STRIKE IRAN DOESN'T ATTACK THE WHITE HOUSE, "KIDNAP + RAPE SASHA OBAMA" ETAL. THE SYRIAN REBELS WILL.

No one likes to be played, not even the "Playas".
