Syria conflict: 'Chemical attacks kill hundreds'

[Jimbuna]

If irrefutable proof is obtained that Assad is responsible I'm wondering what if anything President Obama will do.

Just saw this. I see a trend here.

I saw on the news that France was calling for action. I say go for it. But, we've had our quota of Mideast fighting, so I say we sit this one out.

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

Let us presume that Assad have used chemical against his own people:

Do you think it's all USA/NATO need to start bombing in Syria.

They need a lot more information before they can bomb syria

Doesn't all of this sound profoundly similar to the pre-invasion of Iraq rhetoric?

The sheeple are distracted by the dancing puppet show while their pockets get picked by the real criminals.

If that were to happen I should imagine the Israeli response would be swift and decisive.

Doctors without Borders reported this concerning these gas attacks-

"Three hospitals supported by Doctors Without Borders reported to the global humanitarian group that they received roughly 3,600 patients showing neurotoxic symptoms in the less than three hours Wednesday — 355 of whom reportedly died, according to a statement released by the group on Saturday.
Although the group “can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack,” the reported symptoms “strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent,” said Dr. Bart Janssens, Doctors Without Borders’ director of operations, according to the statement."

Fixing bayonets already too, before even finding out who was responsible.

I don't think the feds should go rushing into the middle of a civil war, if at all. There will need to be a collateral damage event with a neighbor before they can get the international blessing to cut the head off the snake. Until then, let the Arab states sort it out. Assad is an idiot. Who will he rule if he kills them all?

And who will rule and keep the Shariasticas in check when he is gone?

Good point, if Assad is done away with Syria might be ruled by someone who aligns himself with theocracies and supplies Islamic terrorists with weapons

History provides hundreds of similar examples from all over the world.
Its just part of a cycle that's part of a cycle that's part of a cycle, its way too early to see which way this finally spins out.
