>> If he had hit right away there would have been complaints and objections but it would have been over with and done. It all would have settled down in a couple days. And it might have had effect. Under the current scenario, there is no chance for a beneficial outcome. In fact, I suspect it INCREASES the likelihood of further use of chemicals just in an effort to show the US to be weak and ineffective. And if that happens, THEN what?

Yeah, being quick on the trigger and going against congress….that's the ticket! How many countries can one president destroy in a 4 year term? Obomber wants to find out. Special report: We all thought Libya had moved on – it has, but into lawlessness

You are assuming that act (gassing) MUST be accompanied by a bombing. I reject that assumption. The Obama administration and MSM have framed it that way. If we bomb, Syria and Russia will retaliate and it all goes down hill from there. Too dangerous., the entire ME is going up in flames in a civil war and we need to stay out of it. We should help the millions of refugees get shelter and food, but stay out. Bombing is a losing play. We should not get in the middle of a tribal gang fight in a brier patch. if we bomb Syria what happens when they do it again? do we bomb Iran when they get nuclear, Libya, Afghanistan when the Taliban and Al Qaeda returns, Egypt when it devolves into a civil war, Iraq? The ME is a 7th century culture metamorphosing into a 21st century culture and that is going to be a mess.
