My guess is Obama wants to shoot a 100 Tomahawks, but any action will cost billions. I think right now with assets there, it's a billion a month. The problem is any action could cost much more. You've got to have all the assets in case they attack Israel, take out air, radar, command.

A mere missle prick will solve nothing and would be a political punch that solves nothing. I don't think Assad would attack Israel over missles, but if they start launching scuds, then it will be a war that we will have to get involved.

Again, stay the hell out, let the muslims go back to killing each other in mass like the old days, instead of fighting us.
