I also am wondering what he will do ... at first I thought our country had no proof that Syria was using these types of weapons. So I discerned that President Obama was right in his usual approach of fence sitting, which cost us one US ambassador already (unproven of course, but more information will be forth coming).
Any fence sitting that protects US forces is okay with me. Now I suspect he is waiting for the UN to decide if chemical weapons have been used and while he waits he is using the phones to stir up international action against the Russian backed Syrian forces.
Notice that even President Bush did not act alone in Iraq, but used several international countries armed forces to intercede with them on the final push for Bagdad. Using a consortium provided cover for everyone being strictly against the USA.
I hope USA boots on the ground would be more in line to secure such chemical weapons from ever being used again and then leave the area in a hurry ... leaving the conflict to played out between the Syrian forces and the rebels that were reported to be in control of the eastern parts of the city that were bombarded with these chemical weapons.
If these weapons should fall into the wrong hands Israel will be the next nation with photos of children wrapped in white lien.
Can't figure out why Syria would do this with UN observers already in the city?
but hey I'm just a arm chair CNN observer lol
