It is munitions dumps and research facilities and assembly plants, many widely flung and probably no more pinpointed than Saddam's stockpiles were. It ain't like they advertize where they keep all off this stuff.

No this would have to be on the scale of the Iraq war to be successful. Anything less would be just useless posturing.

No, I don't agree ... as a presidential advisor (of course neither one of is)
I would say go for it ... for the peoples sake alone. You know the ones they keep showing on TV being buried in white cloths with dirt being shoveled over them.

Who will interceded for them ...?

They, the peoples of Syria, say they don't want the US to inter the war they just want the war to stop.

Firing a few tomahawk missiles is not going to win any war in Afghanistan or Libya, because it didn't ... plus it cost 1.4 million dollars per missile and the US fired over two hundred in the Libyan conflict alone.

Just go in a get the chemical weapons out of harms way no matter what it takes ...

it won't be like Iraq I'm sure of this.

Boots on the ground yes, but not to stay ... keep them moving make a highway to the Med and control it on both sides to escort the weapons out of the country.

Number one priority is not to stay ... no fortresses ... no Alamo's.

Let them finish their war hasn't this been going on for years now ... someone said Assad's father killed ten's of thousands.

Remember Bush wanted to go to war and Obama doesn't ...
he's sort of being forced into this, but as everyone says,
look who's watching us go for it or back down.
