A limited strike for no purpose other than the sake of politics, as is clear here, is like kicking a beehive and expecting to walk away without getting stung.
While expecting the bees to just accept it.
It doesn't work.
Those bees will become pissed off and swarm out of that beehive and sting you and everyone else around you.
If you are not prepared to annihilate the beehive than don't kick the beehive.

If Obama does decide to go for a limited strike on Syria, all he will have done is squandered resources.
As Iran and Russia will likely resupply Assad within a couple of months.
Assad and the rest of the world knows that Obama is full of the s word when it comes to foreign policy and will not take him credibly even with a limited strike.
In the end Assad would likely gas even more innocent people in retaliation for the limited strike.
Israel will likely come under attack as a result.
There are absolutely no benefits to the US or our allies with the limited strike on Assad's forces.
It has no purpose other than failed politics and foreign policy and will not work to deter either Assad or Iran.

All the fuss over some thugs and drugs?

And, he wants to help the bad guys.

What countries are gonna come help us clean up our feral problem?

Hell of a mess for sure...Seems like support for the resolution is growing, but not without specific changes to Obama's original proposal…Lawmakers want it more tailored, feeling that there is a "need" to act and a "way" to act that will not create an open-ended, boots-on-the-ground situation…Lets hope they can pull it off….

If you watched the Senate hearing....you come away with a clear understanding that there is a possibility that Chemical Weapons may need to be "secured" and there will be "American Boots on the Ground."

Yeah, troops will be necessary if the military objective is to degrade Syria's ability to mount more chemical attacks…Kerry is hedging big time on this because he knows none of the committee members are willing to support the possibility of combat troops on the ground…Next meeting will be held on Wednesday and will be closed and classified…Sounds like the decision to strike has already been made…

Has a gassing been verified by an outside, independent source?

Not yet..but Obama himself will vouch for it

Still no oBummer FOLLOWERS defending they Messiah.

Tells me they all for killing any and all Syrians.

They have the gall to defend thugs who assault and kill folks here.

Fixed it for you.....

I just love it when a plan like this falls apart.

We actually had a plan??

Page 1 of 4 of "The Plan" SYRIA JOINT RESOLUTION FOR MARKUP....Worth the read!!
