Just FYI, dropping bombs on a chemical stockpile, is an inherently bad idea.

Depends..you don't keep chemicals in active(deadly) state in your backyard.

Who's to say that they don't have the activating chemicals stored in the same stockpile?

It's their civil war and the rest of us should keep our noses in our own bees wax.

You don't swing at a piñata that has Hornets going in and out of it.

I agree, and I think many American's would agree as well. But we both know, that isn't how it's going to pan out. Our government will get us involved somehow, as sure as the sun rises and sets.

It most likely will not be anything serious.
In terms of costs not much more than a big scale exercise.

I'm hoping the west don't get involved and especially the UK.

Cameron says the austerity measures currently in place are here for at least another two years so where would the hundreds of millions come from to fund British intervention?

I suspect it would fall on the shoulders of the tax payer and cause even more closures of vital services.

The economy bailed out the banks there for the economy can pay. As for the banks they win win win.

I can't believe we are going to do this and for what? Its going to cause a lot of problems down the road, but the idiots in Washington don't care.

Russia will replace any military equipment the Syrians lose. And if you think Russia is hard to deal with now, its going to get worse. More NSA leaks will be forthcoming too, the Russians will see to that.

Iran and Syria will push Hezbollah to strike at Israel. That's just what the area needs.

I don't believe our country can survive endless wars, why do we have to be involved in every conflict that comes along!?!

BTW, make sure you top off your gas tanks, gasoline is about to go way up!
