So, all the media is hyped up over this (they should be) and reporting that the President is "weighing his options" about how to respond.

BS!

When he stated the red line ultimatum, scenarios and plans were already made by him, the DoD, and the Pentagon. It isn't a question of what, but one of when.

From what I understand
they're still trying to make CERTAIN
exactly "WHO put the Tribbles in the Quadrotriticale!"

SOMEBODY sure wants to mix us up in another war and
~ in my humble opinion ~ it just doesn't make sense that
The Syrians (ANY of them) would ever have crossed said
"red-line" lest it bring the Wrath of God down upon them.

Unfortunately Barry may have committed himself by drawing a line (however amorphous) in the first place. At this point, he may have to do *something* regardless of the perpetrators. I know he really, REALLY doesn't want anything to do with this mess (and rightly so), so we'll have to see how measured is his response.

He's a smart guy -- let's hope those smarts help in this case ...

Waiting for the UN inspectors to verify with certainty. Obama will be cautious and make sure he has allies support when the sh!t begins. Israel is going to be weighing in with force.

I am really hoping that whatever happens ….. happens slowly. My daughter is in Tel Aviv today, Jerusalem later this week and returning next Monday.

NOT much he can do that'll make any difference now.

I'd suggest confer with Allies... IF they don't kick in, DO NOT pull a GW - " go it alone"... another Iraq quagmire BS. Plus WTF is he going to do IF Russia or Iran decide to step in and back Azzhole ! ??
He'd just dig a deeper hole.

IF several allies concur and agree to a policy and response, it might be worth considering... but not likely.
Proceed with extreme caution !!! eek

Knowing exactly who
twisted his arm into
agreeing to a Red-Line
coincidentaly involving
the chemical in question
would be a good start, no?

I'm don't give a crap who people want to blame. Demos will blame Repubs, and Repubs will blame demos, but we need to just stay the hell outa Syria.

We don't need a mother freaking war. Sis shiit we haven't gotten out of the last two we started.

But we don't "confer" with allies. That's not what we've done in the past. We strong arm our allies into doing our bidding.
